Trying to find old HBO Video Game Video

Post by onemanfilmcrew »

OK, this is a strange request. Way back in the early days of HBO they would have these videos that would play between the movies. One of these was set in an arcade where the video games came to life and the good ones started fighting with the bad ones in the real world. I have had no luck tracking it down and was wondering if anybody out there knows what I'm talking about and where I can see it?

Haha, I remember this as well. The little mini-films were called "HBO Short Takes" and as you recall, they played between movies back in the 80's. I remembered that it was called "Arcade" something, so a little google work and voila, "Arcade Attack" a classic little number where the Space Invaders do glorious battle with the Pinball machine's greatest characters.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I hope this is what you were looking for!
