Question about video game movie
« on: February 10, 2002, 09:41:52 AM »
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.

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

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.

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

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
