Film News From Another Universe
Going through old magazines, I found these tidbits in a 1993 issue of Video Games mag:
Commands, in order:
- Wow, the rumor of a Pong movie has been around for a long time. I still want to see the Joust movie though. Take your place among the flying elite!

- Sadly that FF movie actually did get made. Sadly, so did the 2005 one.

- Sadly, the Guyver movie also got made. Poor Luke Skywalker.
Also, this:
Evidently I need to see City Hunter. Parody aside, why is it that film and cartoon adaptations of Street Fighter are so universally bad? Oh, wait, I remember why now – it’s because the game back-story LICKS DONKEY! Great game, lousy storyline.
Yeah, but the Corman FF “movie” did get made, and I would have taken that for a frame from it without the text.
