What was your favorite '80s game cameo?


I loved all the sights and sounds of those old characters, but the glimpse of the egg and chef from Burgertime did it for me. My dad was obsessed with that game, played it every afternoon on our Nintendo (he really identified with the game's plot of slowing down your pursuers without ever really stopping them).

I liked the Robotron Grunts. Was hoping to see some Tempest stuff.

I'd have liked to see a bit more Mario stuff.

Centipede...was really cool seeing the mushrooms appearing in the sky and then the centipede barreling down toward them. I was also amused at how many ships Sandler's character amassed when showing the SEALs how to play Asteroids...I've never seen so many ships acquired by anyone playing that game.

I loved Burger Time also, there was a Chuckie Cheese ripoff place that had it in their arcade and my friend and I were addicted to it! It was a really cute game!

Technically they should'nt have been able to destroy the green "hulk" Robotrons as they were supposed to be indestructible but I'll give them a pass...

I waited a long time through that flick just catch a 'frogger' cameo, and it sucked! I enjoyed the movie though.

I liked seeing GALAGA....such a better bit than just doing SPACE INVADERS.

Also I enjoyed seeing out Paperboy delivering mayhem.

I liked the Smurf best of all.
