Title: i think it may have been a video game movie.... Post by: sikend on July 22, 2010, 06:38:10 PM ok so i remember this movie my grandma bought me for christmas when i was about 8 it was 80s or 90s was about this kid who is sucked into a game sort of like asteroids where he has to help win a war in order to get home. it looks like a bad flight simulator and the "aliens" look like rubber puppets. any ideas would be greatly appreciated

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087597/ I don't really remember what the aliens looked like, but it starts with an arcade game (like Asteroids) that recruits fighters and the main character has to help win a war. eta: Apparently it was one of the first to use cgi and there was a video game based upon it afterward.
