Oh, I hadnt heard of that one - where can I find it?

And Jumanji, which I think maybe shouldn't actually count. When the movie was released (or the 1981 book before it), there wasn't an actual game upon which it was based. The plot centered around a game, but the game was entirely fictional. If we include this, I'd think we'd have to include things like War Games and The Last Starfighter.

By my understanding, Jumanji counts because the movie exists within the game. The plot with Alan living in the jungle then coming out, the kids entire existence, etc, is all just a story happening inside a game of Jumanji. War Games and The Last Starfighter are movies where the game exists inside the movie, but it's still just a game. Therefore, they do not count for the purpose of this thread.
