It had a bunch, but joust and robotron were the only ones really being brought up numerous times and part of the plot.So was a pacman cocktail![]()
"Ready Pander One"
I just can't get into it... so much pandering... so much pushing things at me like "remember this? and this? and THISSSS?"

Wasn't that kind of the entire point of the book in the first place? Being that you didn't come of age in the 80s, I get it. Maybe if they had had more brooding and grunge, it would have been better for you?
I don't see that. Nether played much part in the story overall. Hallowell's space invaders shirt got more screen time. If they had actually put Joust in the movie instead of rewriting the entire first challenge (at least from what I remember), then maybe.Get ready for Williams games to go up further in demand...robotron and joust especially.

I thought that was funny as I was wearing my Space Invaders shirt.
I didn't get "The Shining" reference, although I thought it was cool.
And who else here has found the Easter Egg in Adventure. I remember how cool I (thought) I was after learning how to do it.

Eh... if you're saying I didn't grow up around all the stuff shown in the movie... Well I was born in 83. I've probably watched 95% of the movies/shows referenced. Probably played 95% of the games referenced. I wasn't into 90s grunge at all. In fact, my sister 3 years older than me was into that.
I just don't need it rubbed in my face the whole time. Yeah the entire point of the book was to just jerk off fans of the 80s and geeks in general. I didn't appreciate it there either.
Honestly I liked the premise of there being a virtual world that the majority of the population basically lives in, and what sort of impact that has and the tech behind it and everything. That's what really pulled me in. Not all the references and iamverysmart dialogue.
