Was it Halo 3? Halo 3's got a scoring system once you've beat the game, with point multipliers added for each handicap you give yourself: For example, turning on an option to make enemies immune to headshots, but you get 3 times as many points for killing an enemy without shooting their head. This mainly is used for "Achieve 10,000 points on this mission" achievements to get 100% in the game. But if its for Halo 1 or Halo 2 its kind of silly.
Longest Yard (Adam Sandler) - the prison guards are playing Halo 2 (it is even commented on - "You guys have Halo 2 - I didn't think that was out yet") Charlie's Angels - When Drew Barrymore has fallen out of te window and is naked and trying to find clothes 2 kids are playing (multi-player?) Final Fantasy 7 on PlayStation Big - As a youngster he is stuck on Lords of Midnight Robocop 2 (I think) - Robocop throws one of the thugs into a Robocop arcade game City Hunter - the Street Fighter 2 scene with Jackie Chan turning into various characters including Chun-Li
It was Threshold, which was cancelled after one season due to poor ratings it seems. And crap like Desperate Housewives gets extra seasons with zero plot. I guess people aren't into futuristic things anymore. Glad we still have BSG around!
lol..now i recognized that teh whole mameworld.net is down. so check it out later, but instead of that, i've found this: http://users.rcn.com/jenison/mars/vidmovies.html
Sure I know, for some reason almost every good dystopian film is based on a novel, even modern stuff like The Island. I have not read Harrisons book yet, still have to finish Thomas More's Utopia which is quite exhausting to read. In "Fulltime Killer" (HK 2001) both killers talk about Metal Slug in the end of the movie. IIRC games don't appear during the whole movie, but when they start their well preperated duel at the end Tok is asking O if he likes video games and if he knows Metal Slug. If so, he is gonna know where the guns are hidden in the depot they are heading to (in boxes of course^_^). Another one is "Airplane!" where the air traffic controllers are playing Atari Basketball on a control monitor :lol: I guess a list here in the forums would not make too much sense if there are already lists on the net. Maybe I'm just gonna leave it with that or is there any demand for a compiled list?
Also in the film D.A.R.Y.L he plays Pole Position and breaks the game with his skills. National Lampoons Vacation when Clarke W Griswald is showing the kids the route he has planned and the kids press a few buttons and the son starts chasing him with a Pac-Man type character and then the daughter presses some and shoots the son's character with a typical space Invader type ship
I am suprised nobody has mentioned the cult movie Joysticks (1983) yet. It's the obvious example because it revolves around the shutdown of an arcade. Many classic games from the early 80's to be spotted. Also, there's a scene in which two rivals battle each other in a game of Satan's Hollow. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085764/
Not a film but there's an episode of Family Guy, where Stewie rides on his tricycle, and it shows Doom footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbdvbMQlhtA
I remember something like that on the Cosby show. The kids were playing a Nintendo, and it involved an evil Squirrel.:lol: There was also one on Full House, the way they narrated playing it, it sounded like one of those Cartoon games, like Dragons Lair. But it had all sorts of weird stuff in it, like magical doors that go into different dimensions or whatever.
The Replacement Killers - there's a scene on a arcade. Too many games to tell. Plus it has Chow Yun Fat, so it's a cool movie.
Oh, I forgot....one time at whatever in the A.M's I turned on my TV (for once) and it was Full House with Urkel fighting an old lady in a blatant Mortal Kombat rip off with them in it. I turned the TV off after that.
Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox play a Dancing Game in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Think it was DDR Fusion
