Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe true reason for the change in the film's original CGI FX was due to The Walt Disney Company having threatened to sue Full Moon Entertainment due to the original design of the sky cycles resembling the lightcycles from Tron (1982), which were notably featured in advertising material, including various trailers. This is what also lead to the film's February 1993 release being postponed. Had the trailer and poster not featured the original sky cycle design, Disney would not have noticed the similarities until later on, and then file suit against Full Moon.

Featured review
This is a below average addition to the genre that's still a must see
Arcade (1993) is a movie with our friend Ralphie from A Christmas Story that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a troubled young lady whose mom recently committed suicide. She doesn't have much ambition for school or anything else for that matter. Her friends convince her to go to the local arcade, Dante's Inferno, where they discover a new virtual reality game called "arcade." They quickly discover once in the game it's more reality than virtual.
This movie is directed by Albert Pyun (Cyborg) and stars Megan Ward (Encino Man), Peter Billingsley (A Christmas Story), John de Lancie (Multiplicity), Seth Geeen (Robot Chicken), A. J. Langer (People Under the Stairs) and Bryan Dattilo (Days of our Lives).
This movie had a very good storyline and interesting characters. The acting, dialogue and writing is pretty mediocre to bad, unfortunately. The special effects were also bad. The CGI at this time didn't age well and the transitions from reality to CGI doesn't look natural. I will say the conclusion is good.
Overall this is a below average addition to the genre that's still a must see. I would score this a 4/10 and recommend seeing it once.
