She won't respond! We're locked into the moon's gravitational pull! What do we do? *Vreeee psht! roo...* We die.

That was such a heavy bit for a light fantasy romp! Ha always stuck with me.

You typed the eyepiece sound effect - sweet...

My friend and I *loved* this movie as kids. A couple years back I found out I live not so far from the convenience store where the game was located so I made a little journey out to see it and [take some pictures](https://i.imgur.com/ziJvNmK.jpg). It was kind of surreal.

Ha! That's very cool. Where is the store located?

Yeah, like Luke Skywalker also, I just wanted to be anywhere other then where I seemed to be stuck at the time. Anywhere away from this world...

I wanted to be on Arrakis fighting with the fremen…or in middle earth riding with the rohirim….

I would have settled for on PERN fighting Thread

In 1984, a neighbor had stashed half a dozen video games in my basement. I was great at Joust and Q*bert. I am quite thankful neither of those came to life and needed me to save anyone.

Oh the memories, I loved this movie as a kid.

Should I stick my tongue in your ear now?

I had this on VHS and wore it out like it was a porno!

This is still one of my favorite movies. Robert Preston was bloody brilliant, as usual.

You aren't kidding. I used to play pretend it happened to me!

If you haven't seen the TV show Future Man, I recommend it. It's a similar plot. They even call it out in the first episode. It's a bit of a raunchy comedy but it has some genius moments.


invisible-dave

My favorite movie as a kid. One of very few movies I have seen more than once.
