GPX | 1,369 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Kudos @mideast! Love the work and amount of dedication! Just a thought, I think you’re gonna be busy on this topic as gaming has become mainstream since the 90s-2000s. Those artists/writers who grew up loving games, will likely to incorporate more gaming history into other media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I kind of hate that I didn't look for What About Bob?. I watched that film so many times as a kid and practically had it memorized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner | 2,737 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I always remember this because it was one of the first video game references I ever remembered in a movie that wasn't meant for kids. Near the end of the movie Breakdown (1997 with Kurt Russell), there is a scene where a kid is playing Doom on a TV. No worries if you aren't interested in adding this to your list, but the movie is very entertaining and fun to watch, so I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an enjoyable thriller movie. Here is a clip from the film showing the game. I wouldn't watch it for more than a few seconds if you want to avoid spoilers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Pac | 7,544 Graphics Team · Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I've been rewatching a bit of Regular Show. The main characters play a Master System (which becomes a sentient CRT monster, as usual). There's also an episode with a character named "Garett Bobby Ferguson" who holds the universe high score in an arcade game - and it's clearly a thinly-veiled Billy Mitchell caricature.
