Does anyone remember a movie in the late 80\'s or 90\'s about a kid who went to some video game tournament o something. He played video games and stuff? Thanks....

I remember one called The Last Starfighter. I always like that movie, but it\'s probably not the one you\'re thinking about.
-
yes I do it was called The WIZARD it was made by Nintendo, it had Fred Savage.....it was kidna stupid it was just to introduce Super Mario Bros 3...IMHO.
:hat:ScottyJ:hat:

i was gonna say the wizard too, if was used to advertise mario 3, i think they showed it b4 the game was out , at least here in the uk.
yeah last star fighter, but it only had a little bit of a computer game on it, it wasnt based around games like the wizard, he was just good at the game, so they made him a star fighter
-
Cool... The Last Starfighter was a superb movie !!! I love the scene where his Fighter was spinning around and shooting at everything ! GREAT ! :D
-

Haha! What a cool movie. Was great for the few and young videogamers at the time. I found the trailer at imdb.com but for some reason it plays upside down. :P
Oddly enough the DVD of the flick is released in Germany (called Joy Stick Heroes there), but no sign of any other release.

I was watching that on Sky Premier late last year and he arrives late for the tournament...I can\'t remember correctly but he has a disability...I think he\'s austic...
They introduced the Power Glove in that movie too!
And Christian Slater was in it...
But I can remember going into town the next day, after I first saw it all those years ago and asking everywhere if they had Super Mario Bros 3...
Come to think of it...
Does anybody remember these commercials?
Super Mario 3? - People are chanting "Mario!" and the camera does a birds eye view and they are all set up to look like his face...
Mortal Kombat - People are in the streets or something shouting "Mortal Kombat!"
And the old Atari Lynx and Sega Master System ads - "Do me a favour, buy me a SEGA!
-
Remember the first Zelda commercial with a curly-haired white guy wearing all black going from room to room shouting ZELDA!!? There\'s also another I have saved to my HD where this nerd and a jock are playing Zelda. The jock says WHOAAA!!, Awesome graphics!! Then the nerd starts singing a rap song about the game. LOL!!
Maybe I can put it up on my site if you guys are interested.
-
yeah that would be cool!
I\'d love to see some more Retro Stuff mate...
Remember the Sonic Cartoon?
And "The Super Mario Show" which had Captain Lou Albano and some other guy as Mario and Luigi?
-

About 2.5mb. @Home is switching over to Comcast so connections might be a little screwy.

Remember the Simpsons Arcade Game? It was soooo cool!
-
Oh my god! That Zelda ad was hilarious! I could almost type lmao right now, oh I did, damn, hahaha :laughing:
Makes me wanna play the old Zeldas... and RAP!
-
The Simpson\'s Arcade!! I actually just played it when I went to Disney World over the holidays, man was it fun. I just found the ROM, and am about to play it (psx2c doesn\'t have a policy on arcade roms does it?). I\'ve recently found the original Killer Instinct in all its pure form (no SNES ported crap) and love it.

I remember Wizard! I taped it once when it came on TV and I probably watched it at least 20 times. It was the coolest back then. :D
