WTF a LCD??
You guys ruined it for me LOL.
Still going to watch it.
It's still pretty rad!
 
LCD displays = easier to film.

Flicker and roll is one thing with an old movie or TV show but in today's HD it would be a seizure-fest for viewers.

They could have dealt with it in post-production. The show has shown numerous tube TVs which would have the same issue.

Uh... Like... comp in screens on top of CRTs? You realize what a huge waste of money that is, right? I do this stuff for a living and even I'm like... just use LCDs because 99% of the world won't even notice.

There's so much that has to go into preparing the scene for fake CRT screens... dealing with camera tracks, reflections, etc... all a huge pain in the ass that's totally avoided by just having LCD screens instead.

Repped for knowledge just dropped.
 
It was still nice to see the environment again. Although the machines had LCDs, I thought they did a great job capturing the time, essence, and atmosphere of the arcade that we grew up in. It brought back many memories for me. I also digged the Z28. That wasn't accurate either. It has fenders from a 78-79 but the dash is a 80-81. That didn't ruin the nostalgia for me even though it wasn't 100% accurate. It brought back another flood of memories.

I don't disagree. Using LCDs is easier, but it is half assed. The fact that they go to great lengths to recreate the feel of 1984 and then use LCDs is disappointing.
 
The wife and I were watching it and I said the same thing. :)

It was my daughter who noticed it first. We were watching it when the arcade scenes came on. I started to say something about LCD's when she stopped me, "I know dad, they're not CRT's, but doesn't DigDug only do 3 letters?"

Hollywood reality.

Just like there was a Donkey Kong cheat code in Pixels.

I get Hollywood reality, but this was such an easy fix. High score: MAD 2nd highest score: MAX

Things like this bother me. I'm still nerd-raging about hydrogen based mustard gas in Wonder Woman. Ruined the whole movie with stupid science - and it was a main plot driver, not some throw away line about parsecs.

I didn't notice this, I'm not a huge car guy outside of air-cooled VW's, but this makes some sense. Dude definitely has wrecked that car at some point, so a repair using earlier parts is a possibility. At least all parts were manufactured prior to in universe time.
 
Any interest in Palace Arcade Tshirts??
still tweakin the design but just a quick rough idea
