Pretty sure they also refer to the Super Pretendo in Tiny Toons

DAMN how could I forget this one
There is a not very good nerd band called Melt Wizard which is a reference to this
This one is pretty funny though.

every single game in VIDEOGAME HIGH SCHOOL is fake but my favorite is the ddr clone dance ex machina whos initials are DXM
its fucking annoying how hard this is to find because of some dumb dance in something called ex machina or whatever
its a ‘big baby game’ that someone plays secretly in the show cuz if you dont play FPSes or racing games you’re a homo
bitch you have a poster for it right behind you youre not hiding well

since the taiwanese new wave (and places i used to hang out in taipei) are already covered in the ‘video games in movies’ thread i thought i should share this clip from Yi yi, with the added bonus that this is not even a game that exists in the context of the movie (the greatest video game movie ever made), but is, in-narrative, a mock up of a video game used to illustrate the circumstances of a murder as part of a tv news broadcast
i used to walk by that apartment building every day on my way to school!

Wish I knew there was a thread about this otherwise I wouldn’t have embarassed myself! Twice with the OP!!!
Havre by Juliet Berto (the Julie in Celine and Julie Go Boating) has a subplot about a child playing through a PC game that mirrors the plot of the film as it happens. It only exists on VHS and there’s one print of it in existence that’s not likely to be restored due to rights issues but its as good as anything Rivette directed with her.

In the late 1980s I was making paintings about computer games. In January 1991 I bought an Amiga computer and made a series of fictional videogame stills using Deluxe Paint II. I photographed them straight from the screen as there was no other way to output them that I knew of apart from through a very primitive daisy wheel printer where they appeared as washed out dots.
