One day, Corey discovers that Jimmy has a natural talent for playing video games. He is one of the best around, and the two journey to the West Coast to compete in a video game championship, but along the way, they must avoid the adults, who are trying to take Jimmy away.

Trivia
The truck that Spanky Frank McRae borrows from "Old Pete" is the same truck driven by Lincoln Hawk Sylvester Stallone for most of the movie Over the Top. You can even see "Hawk Hauling" on the door as Spanky climbs of the cab during the rescue of Jimmy from Runaway recovery expert Putnam. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Haley said that Jimmy had trouble with the games "Rampage" and "Dr. Chaos", but those two weren't part of the Playchoice 10 series. Rampage was a self-cabinet arcade game, while Dr. Chaos was NES-only. See more »
