Whoa Fatal Rewind check out that film list. We can each try to take one if we've seen the films. |

Whoa Fatal Rewind check out that film list. We can each try to take one if we've seen the films. Several of them have been done as it is, such as the ones from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Joysticks (there's many more scenes than that brief video shows as it is), and RoboCop 2. I think Jaws only had a Computer Space game in it in a scene but I could be wrong. I had mentioned the arcade in WarGames with the first thread that I don't recall what else was there except for Galaga. I had notes for the Nightmares segment of Bishop of Battle but I can't complete it since I think there were two different arcades (one in a well-known mall) and I tried to do a page on it a while back but Lions Gate (or whoever owns the rights to the movie) had it taken it off YouTube for copyright violation. Don't recall what else was in the Terminator 2 arcade. Also, I think this is the extended version of the same concept that I had seen a while back, which is what got me to do the Pizza Planet page on the wiki from Toy Story (as I had forgotten about it): |

That one's rather confusing. I take it that's the name of the arcade in the Sky World Entertainment Centre? Because I know there's a chain of arcades called Intencity in Australia that are in movie theatres and all. Someone stated that in a now dead forum a while back about some arcade with that name in a theatre, which I thought was strange. After a while I looked it up and found it to be a chain, so I had to redo that page and add one or two more pages from there (one being in regards to the chain itself), which was cool, since it created more content. Because it seems to me the page would have to be renamed to something like "TimeOut Game Zone (Sky World Entertainment Centre)" or "TimeOut Game Zone (291 - 297 Queen Street)" if it were a standalone arcade (like how I do with the Chuck E. Cheese's page) if I'm reading that correctly, along with having a page for Sky World Entertainment Centre. Because having a "Timeout Game Zone" page doesn't really work when there seems to be several of those in New Zealand.

Yes it is inside the Sky World Entertainment complex. www.skyworld.co.nzShould we add Sky World Entertainment to the title? |

Actually here's a bit of a status report for the last several ongoing weeks of this: *with the Funtime Pizza Circus page, that marked the very first arcade for possibly Hackensack (? I'm not sure). *Sportsworld marked the very first arcade for the town of Paramus *Malibu Jack's marked the very first arcade for the city of Lexington and the state of Kentucky *the TimeOut Game Zone marked the very first arcade for Auckland and New Zealand *several movie arcades were added *the number of people that have joined has more than doubled the amount of members on the wiki (and on a side note, nice to see familiar names on there  ) *New Zealand was a new country added on the wiki as a category *I'll be putting up a Dave & Busters and Time Out Game Zone pages hopefully sometime this week with all or most locations on it, that way if people want to add to various locations they can just click on the links to be put on those not-yet-added pages automatically I’m also wondering about the following, if they want me to add content to pages: bigballofyarn --Funtime Pizza Circus Mr. White --Malibu Jack’s Was Biased going to add to the Fast Times at Ridgemont High page? If not, I can do it. I’m leaving out xea's and Cheap Trixie's stuff since those are still pretty new and they might plan on doing more to those entries. Thanks for the contributions from everyone thus far. |

I think Christina did the Fast Times Page Edit: Yup arcadepreservation.wikia.com/wiki/The_Arcade_-_%22Fast_Times_at_Ridgemont_High%22or did you meant he had additional info? And those are some great accomplishments for your Wiki. |

Or I meant that he had said originally he could do a page for it but Christina beat him to it. Don't know if he had anything else in mind for it though. |

Well, it depends, although whoever can answer this one is fine with me: was the Mike Damone character known for scalping/ticket connecting a lot throughout the movie, or was it just during the arcade scene? Because during that scene he told Charles Jefferson that he could get him tickets to an Earth, Wind and Fire concert. I don't know how much this came up during the movie though, or if it was just for that scene.
That's about all I need to know in regards to that.
