Hah.....was watching an old movie again.....The Philadelphia Experiment.
(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087910/)
I didn't remember much about the movie except for the main story line.
Was pleasantly surprised to see a scene where the two guys from the marine ship in 1943 have just been warped to 1984 and enter some gasstation/diner and there's a Battlezone and Lunar Lander there :) The machines actually play a "part" in the film as one of the guys gets (falsely) accused of "ruining" the machines with some electric sparks coming from his hand....
Here's two screenshots :)

It's pretty funny....the place is desolate so, "old fashioned"..... The movie is from 1984 so LL and BZ were already very old games by then....
-
LOL....another nice reference.....
Look at what this top-secret experimental US military 1984 base uses as computers.....
The one in the back I recognized as an Osborne but it looked more modern than the one I did my first hobby computing on (at school) back in the stone-ages :)
Some Googling later I knew it was this one: http://vintagecomputer.com/osborne-occ-2-executive.html
But the funniest is that ......Commodore 64 ;D ;D ;D (or is it a VIC-20 ?)

Judging by the color of the "F-Keys" i would say its a Vic 20 :D

Seen the movie 1 or 2 times, but it was before I got into this hobby.
Never noticed the games in it :D - maybe I should see it one more time :)
-
totally loved the movie back then, but i'm pretty sure it's almost unwatchable now, isn't it?
