    In the movie Blast From the Past, a Primal Rage arcade cabinet can be seen int the bar that was built over the bomb shelter where Brendan Fraiser's family lives. Problem was that scene was supposed to take place in 1991.

    Wow! I'm proud of my thread for prospering and getting a lot of responses.

    I definitely should have remembered the Child's Play 3 reference of the game gear, I watched that several times.

    Thanks every one!

    Jackie Chan give the kid in a wheelchair a Game Gear in Rumble in the Bronx. I think it's seen a couple time throughout the movie.

    Just thought of two others. In Mallrats, Jason Lee's character wakes up and continues a game of NHL All-Star Hockey prompting his buddy to utter the classic line, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega."

    In Swingers there are a couple scenes where they are playing NHLPA 93 on Genesis as well. Great quotes about the instant replay feature so you can see if "bullshit" happened in the game.

    EDIT: Thought it was NHL 94 in Swingers as they talked about fighting being removed, but Google says otherwise.

    I don't know if you guys would count this because the show is technically a 2000's show and 2000's console. but I was watching an episode of King of Queens, and one guy randomly pulled out a GBA and starting playing it..... even though it was making Atari style sound effects. Also in the same episode they mentioned a Playstation 2 and had a controller. It made me think of this thread when I seen it.

    You're right. In the later episodes they had a Dreamcast on their TV.

    I made a thread for this 4 years ago. But the last post is from less than two months ago.

    Another one, but its a movie released in 2000. In the movie Frequency, they play a Nintendo 64 pretty early on in the movie.

    John Connor's playing a full sit down Afterburner in the arcade when the T-1000 first tracks him down in Terminator 2. A little earlier he can be seen playing Missile Command as well.

    In Futurama, there is an episode titled "Anthology of Interest II", which is split into three parts. In the second part, Fry asks a "what-if" machine what would happen if the world was like a video game. There are references to DOOM, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Berzerk, Space Invaders, and Q*bert. There may be more, but I haven't seen the episode in a while. There is another episode named "Reincarnation" in which the episode, as with Anthology of Interest II, is split into three separate parts. The second part is shown in a style reminiscent of 8-bit video games. Both episodes are available for instant streaming on Netflix.

    Home Improvement - Mark is playing a Zaxxon arcade machine at the bowling alley.

    The Simpsons - Lisa plays a "Crash Bandicoot" parody game while she is sick.

    Pretty sure Pauly Shore and Andy Dick are playing a 3DO in the beginning of In The Army Now.
