  • So if the game wasn't available on a "VTech", how did they do it in the movie? Was it some special one off version or some movie prop? Commented Sep 2, 2022 at 14:18

    I own a "Fire" Game&Watch and can testify that the screen shown here is that game. However the case is entirely different. The Fire LCD is not a matrix display; it has the actual images for every game position etched into it, and the computer turns them on in various combinations. Fire has lateral movement only and thus no need for the "+" controller or a fire button, which makes me believe the image shows a bespoke prop for the movie. Maybe they couldn't get licensing from Nintendo, maybe they got Product Placement from Vtech, or maybe both. Commented Sep 2, 2022 at 15:48

    The Wikipedia page also points out that the prop has the name of the film on it - the black writing with the upwards pointing arrow. Commented Sep 2, 2022 at 19:17
