Anyone have any pop culture references to retro games from when they were contemporary?

Here's a screencap for the music video for "So Caught Up In You" by 80s southern rock band 38 Special.

If anyone has any info about these arcade classics it would be appreciated.

I can't find the video itself, but the music video for Judas Priest's "Freewheel Burning" features Pole Position.

There are hundreds if not thousands of arcade game appearances in movies & tv. The games in your image are obviously Gorf and Asteroids, I'm not sure what you're asking about.

GORF and Asteroids is obvious but what the third arcade to the left and the pinball game?

'You know, every toy that I saw in the store had some sort of tie in, like a cartoon or a movie or something I've been too busy to see.
I mean, I don't know what Duke Nukem was, but, uhh, he looked pretty nasty.'

Emilio Estavez's short "The Bishop of Battle" in Nightmares (1983) has tons of sweet arcade games

...but Joysticks (1983) is my go-to film for early (actually before my old-ass's time) arcade flavor unless I'm absolutely not in the mood for comedy

I don't know if anyone remembers the amazingly corny Generation X made for TV movie from the mid 90s but there's a scene in the beginning where Jubilee is playing a virtua fighter cab and zaps the shit out of it when she loses with everyone in the arcade all like "OH SHIT SHE'S A MUTANT"
