      Not as old as some of the others, but in Friends - The One with Monica's Thunder (2000) Chandler plays Crash Team Racing.

        hackers (1995) has wipeout, but it's really some sort of prototype/pre-render thing:

        reign over me (2007) features shadow of the colossus throughout:

            @celly That could be a whole new thread: Movies/tvshows where they act like they are playing a game, but it's clearly impossible. I saw a Dutch movie (bro's before ho's) where they were pointing the Nes zapper at an lcd tv, acting like it actually worked.

              @bobharris i remember watching an episode of the original show Roseanne (on purpose) and they had got a video game system. It was horrible watching bad actors, pretend to be playing what was probably a SNES.

                City Hunter (1993) – Street Fighter II (Capcom)

                There's no gameplay shown apart from the character selection menu, but the whole scene is one great homage to the game.

                  @johnodon They are not playing NHL 94. They're complaining about NHL 94 while playing NHLPA 93. The key giveaway is "the blood coming out of Gretzky's head". NHL 94 removed all fighting from the game.

                    "Friends" The One Where Joey Dates Rachel (2002) Phoebe gives Chandler and Monica a late wedding present: the game Ms Pac-Man.


                    After Chandler fills the Ms. Pac-man machine with some very rude initials, Phoebe tries to beat all of his top scores before Ben comes over and sees them...
                    It doesn't quite go as planned.
