    • The Intellivision game "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Cloudy Mountain" is playing inside an arcade cab
    • The cab is for the game Tempest
    • Ralph refers to it as a pinball
    • They call the game Wizards and Warlocks


    Did I get them all?

    I found the biggest mistake in the vid and that seems to appear in any film or TV show that has someone playing a computer game is the amount of button bashing. For a simple move left you press the button that moves you left, however on films they seem to bash loads of buttons just to go left. I can understand this on a fighting game like Mortal Kombat or Street fighter but not something like Pokemon (I know a bad example)

    Also on films while their playing a racing game they seem to be able to take their eye of the screen and when they look at the screen again they are still on the raceway and driving around the course, How do they do that? I wish I could do that

    The best things in films that I love is when the gamer moves the controller around in the air, and I have to say I have also done this several times. While driving around on forza I found myself moving the controller to the left while turning left lol. I'm sure some of you will have done this on a game or 2.

    More issues.
    1. Those "teenage" guys look to be in their mid thirties.
    2. Girls are hanging out with them.

    BAHHAHAHAHA!

    Alright, I'll give you one ...

    The very distinct sound effects from YAR'S REVENGE on the Atari 2600 is playing loudly through the whole scene.

    I believe that Ralph (I am assuming that is the blonde man) calling it "pinball" was deliberate. It looked like he isn't supposed to know what he is talking about.

    Along those lines, what usually gets me when seeing games in film and television is that nearly every time you see a console being played, no matter what it is, the sound is clearly Donkey Kong on the Atari 2600. Of course it is used because it is a recognisable and distinct video game sound - but it still gets me every time.

    I don't know why hollywood likes to make video games look bad.. probably cause they don't want to pay for the royalties!

    Funny thing is.. I think they are playing Halo Reach the way they are describing it.. Which is pretty ironic!
    The sounds they are using in Halo arn't even the sounds from the game accept faintly hearing the shields recharging and draining from halo 3 and grenade sounds and explosions mixed horribly over faintly horrible gun sounds.
