Nothing new here, since the show's been around for over five years now, but I had never started watching it until recently on Hulu (I've never had cable or anything), and with the P. R. Pickles episode, at one point rhythm guitarist Toki was playing one of the video games in Mordhouse's lounge (or whatever it is), and it looked a bit like Battlezone ;D It had a mounted gun on the cab. A machine gun vs. tanks...yeah, sure! Must be a helluva gun! Makes you wonder if there's any other vector-like games out there? There's plenty of actual consoles in many a tv episode (just saw an Intellivision on an episode of The Greatest American Hero the other night), but are any of them vector?

Well, I'm sure most of us know about the Vectrex's "Android" and "Charles in Charge" appearances.
As for vectors in general, in Ghostbusters, they had a Star Castle in the headquarters. Apparently vector games were used in movies because they filmed better than raster games.

That's cool, I don't recall S. Castle since I hadn't seen Ghostbusters in ages.
Oh, and there was a Star Hawk in The Bishop of Battle segment of the Nightmares movie, now that I think about it (probably more popular vector games too).

And in the original Tron, there are, at the very least, a Space War and a Space Wars, I believe back to back, in Flynn's. For those who don't know, the exact same game, one version made by Cinematronics and the other by Vectorbeam. Probably other vectors as well. Don't know if they're in Legacy; everything is under tarps if I recall correctly.
