Re: Games controllers in use in the movies and TV
How about a Commodore 64 used as one of the deck computers in the first season of Red Dwarf.
Music video, Where is the love by the Black Eyed Peas : PS2 controller used but the game onscreen is Postal 2. |

Re: Games controllers in use in the movies and TV
The Psi-Scanner used in a Red Dwarf episode was an old joystick from the 8 bit days.
In an episode of Babylon 5 when the stations computer crashes the the error screen is the guru meditation screen from the Amiga. Quiet apt in some ways as they used A4000 toasters to do the original graphics.  |

Re: Games controllers in use in the movies and TV
I've seen a poloroid flashlight used as part of a keyboard on a spaceship in some dodgy sci-fi film (might have been Dracula 3000, but I honestly can't remember). Recognised it as I had one.
Or how about the numberpad from a Logitech Di-novo keyboard used to control the security system in the Las Vegas TV series. |

Re: Games controllers in use in the movies and TV
In heroes one scene featured the ps3. Neighbors a few months back featured a kid playing an original game boy (brick style), with no cartridge inserted!

Re: Games controllers in use in the movies and TV
A Gamecube controller was used in a Doctor Who christmas special a while back, as a mind control device (i forget these things) i think.

Re: Games controllers in use in the movies and TV
There used to be that TA advert when they were controlling something with what looked like a Xbox 360 controller... odd.
EDIT: sorry didn't read the link before  |

Re: Games controllers in use in the movies and TV
In Emmanuelle 2000, that dodgy soft porn sci fi series, they used a Saitek Cyborg Evo as a telepathic pleasure device controller, with some incredible results...
DISCLAIMER : This is more than likely a fabrication of my twisted mind and buying said controller will not in any way give you any additional ability to pleasure members of the opposite gender, mentally or physically... except maybe a stronger trigger finger. |
