Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe video games featured at the arcade are a mixture of real and fake. An actual "Pac Man" machine is shown (but nobody is playing it, despite it being the most popular game in 1981). However, the most prominently featured game, "Froggy Hop", is clearly a Frogger ripoff. Froggy Hop's gameplay is described, which is identical to that of Frogger, but it isn't actually shown in action. The video game sound effects in the background are from "Asteroids", but an Asteroids machine isn't seen at all. The first game shown played by two teen boys is a "Tempest" cabinet, but the game they describe (involving saving various US cities) didn't exist at the time.
The tabletop game Julie plays seems to be similar in some ways to Sinistar, but that game wasn't released until two years later, in 1983.
- GoofsDuring one of the scenes in the Westworld arcade, two kids turn away from the "Froggy Hop" video game, one of which proclaimed his friend played it for 18 hours straight. However, the screen is blank, indicating it wasn't even turned on.
