Also from Charlie's Angels (2000), Drew Barrymore's character stumbles upon 2 boys playing Final Fantasy VIII on the PS1. What's inaccurate is that it's a one player game and they're playing it with 2 people.

Also to note the ET poster on the wall, which Drew Barrymore appeared in as a child.

In Back to the Future Part II (1989), Marty McFly plays the Nintendo Zapper game Wild Gunman.

Oh yeah how could I 4get that Ma?

I love all 3 of those movies...

Thank you Torgo and Jimmy!!!!!!!

I just played FOOD FIGHT and got to level 3!!

I reckon this game plays better with a joystick but it does OK with the keys....

How did you know what game it was??


Just info for those wanting this game...... When you run it,it will say NVRAM FAILED. When this happens just press CTRL and it will start.......

Hey Jimmy and Torgo,

Are you sure its FOOD FIGHT??

I just watched REAL GENIUS again and in the end credits it doesnt say anything about food fight!!

It says

"Thanks to SIR TECH for 'Wizardry" -- So its some game called Wizardry they are playing I think...

[Dude111]

Ok I found the game and it IS indeed Food fight!



But I dont understand why it isnt given credit at the end of the movie!!

And this came out in 1983,why isnt it available for Atari 2600??

And what is WIZARDRY..... I tried to find an arcade rom fior that and I cant.. I didnt see anyone playing whatever this is in real genius!!

This whole thing confuses me dues!

Wizardry is a series of computer role playing games from the 80s through 90s (eight all together), Robert J. Woodhead was the computer hacking consultant for Real Genius, Robert also co-created the first 4 Wizardry games.


I've only played 5-7 of the Wizardry games, personally I prefer the other computer RPG franchises from that era 'Ultima' and 'Might & Magic'.



My guess for why Food Fight isn't credited is because they don't show actual footage from the game.

Ya that could be Torgo...

I dont think I ever played Wizardry.. Where did they play it in the movie do you know? -- I love that movie and I cant tell where its being played by anyone...

Joysticks (1983) - Arcade games can be seen being played throughout the movie. Footage from several arcade games are shown during the open credits. When characters play against each other in the Arena at the arcade, one game played is the not yet released Satan's Hollow, the second game played is Pacman. Pacman is featured throughout the movie, even some of the scene transitions feature Pacman going across the screen.

In Breakdown (1997), one of the goons is seen playing Doom on the PlayStation.
