File: what are the games here.png (854 KB, 1920x1080)

I've checked around and it seems the obvious ones from the scene in question in 1978's "Dawn of the Dead" are all mostly named, but not the ones in this shot. If anyone can name them I'd be grateful since I want to play the games, or at least know where to look if they're not CPU-based games.

Here's a link to the scene, although it doesn't have as many frames as the screencap I took from a different cut on youtube, but it's still present: https://www.outerworldarcade.com/movies/dawn_of_the_dead.html

they all seem to be Atari games and I think they are :

Night Driver
Duck Hunt
Atari F1
Outlaw
Starship 1

>Duck Hunt
Still funny how Atari had their own Duck Hunt before Nintendo.

Does anyone have any idea of what that game is to the right of Flyboy's shoulder? Looks like a "K" at the end, but I would need a higher-res shot.
The game in between Peter and Flyboy would be nice to know too.

Yeah, it's "Qwak!" (1974).
>>
>>12918937
It's kind of odd that Night Driver in the film doesn't seem to have the car on the playfield, and certain shots of it are easy to mix up with Starship 1, which features the starship Enterprise, mostly.

Too bad it's one of those transistor logic games, making it near-impossible to emulate.

It was 1978, so most arcade games would've been Atari games. You can start there.
>>
>>12919656
You know it. I guess 1975 is when CPU became common.
>>12919658
Yes, I've been trying to figure out all the games for way too long, and here's my mostly complete list:
>Flying Ducks (1973) (gameplay is not shown)
>Qwak! (1974)
>Gangbusters (1974) (electro-mechanical)
>Gun Fight (1975)*
>Crash 'N Score (1975)*
>Steeplechase (1975) (it's the game that is off)
>Sprint 2 (1976)*
>Night Driver (1976)*
>F-1 (1976) (electro-mechanical)
>Starship 1 (1976) *

So that just leaves the games barely shown in the screencap to identify. *And looks like we can emulate a grand total of five games. Very frustrating.

By the way, from the design and colors of the arcade that can be seen in the film, it's clear to me that they were in a "Time Tunnel" arcade. I checked for any records of the games in that arcade at that time in 1978, but they do not seem to exist.
>>
See if I can bump this once for an answer. Maybe an anon has a higher-res copy and can tell me what those games are in the OP.
>>
>>12918565
nothing else going on huh?
>>
>>12921770
I'm busy as fug actually, but I always find time for my hobbies. So do you have any access to a higher-res copy of the film so that image in the OP can be upgraded?
>>
I want the answers! :(
