Tempest on Futurama (vector!). Also Space Invaders, Dig Dug, Paperboy, Donkey Kong, Punchout, Tapper and Super Mario Brothers. Maybe others I missed.

All this in the last episode of Futurama, "Reincarnation", the second segment all done in 8-bit graphics. If you missed it, here is a torrent.

Fans of Merry Melodies and anime (or haters of anime) will like this one too.
 
Damn, I was gonna watch that one and forgot about it. Oh well, I'm sure it'll rerun again (and again and again)...oh, and we know from EVB's avatar that Bender apparently hates Defender :D

Had it on in the background while I was updating my website and heard "Tempest on ebay" and looked up.
 
futurama- one of the most under rated shows ever! it is always fun to see the old coin ops in the movies. was watching "night of the comet" and saw the main character play an old tempest mini machine in the movie theatre where she worked.
 
The wife and I watched that one as well. We missed part of the B/W portion. She wasn't sure why I found the 8 bit portion to be so funny. It was great, by far the best part of the episode. I love Futurama's flagrant use of arcade related terms and images. One of my favorite parts of that show is the "What if life were more like a video game" portion of the "What If" machine episode. "Invaders!....possibly from space" :)
 
Awesome episode...

Just awesome!

It's certainly making a turn around. The first seasons before it died off for so many years were just pure gold. Then they make all the movie specials and it sits on border line meh and good. But now they have turned it around in the latest season and made it pretty dam funny again! They should probably stop with Simpsons and get to focusing on Futurama more.
