At the beginning of the movie "Night of the Comet" one of the protagonists (played by Catherine Mary Stewart, who ironically also acted in "The Last Starfighter") is playing the arcade game "Tempest".


Also, the game "Killer Shark" can be seen being played in the movie "Jaws".

"Grosse Point Blank" had a guy playing a Doom arcade cabinet in the convenience store where Martin's house used to be... then a burrito explodes (like all burritos will in some fashion).
