i remember different consoles appearing in different tv shows ,and movies the ones that come to mind are...

My Blue Heaven-Rick Morranis (the guy from honey i shrunk the kids) either him ,or his partner was playing NES

Mama's Family- there was an episode based around the family getting an atari 2600 from naomi's ex husband

Josie & The Pussycats Movie- There was a crapload of Dreamcast references

Bringing Down the House- The little boy was playing GBA early in the movie he was playing Kirby on it. Then later he was playing Jak & Daxter Precursor Legacy on PS2

Hey, anyone remember the episode of "Dharma and Greg" where Greg got to move in all his old non-Dharma safe stuff back in to the house. He totally moved his big screen with a Dreamcast attached to it. Snoogans!

OK stop the press. Everyone go out and rent the movie SURF NINJAS.

The Game Gear plays a prominent role in that film. Anyone who's seen it can back me up.

In the movie Enemy of the State with Will Smith a turbo express is featured prominently because some crazy dude records some pictures onto a hu-card, which a kid later tries to put into a turbo express and only gets static. Only time i've ever seen a TG-16/PCE/whatever in a movie.

Rumble in the Bronx, Jackie gives the kid in the chair a Game Gear with no game in it what a rip off.

Okay, if we're talking movies, by far the coolest video game system in a movie is the system that Strike gives to the kid that hangs around with him in the movie Clockers. It's a freaking prototype of the Sega VR headset system that Sega never released.

I was watching a rerun of Family Matters, and Carl and his mother were playing a figthing game with controllers that are defo from an snes (even though you can't see the snes itself. I know its a snes cause the cart looks like an snes one as well.

btw, the fighting game they were playing kinda looked like Ultra Vortex for the jaguar

It was an episode entitled "Video Mania" from 1994 in which Mark's Stepfather buys a "Super Video Buster", which from the looks of both the box and the console itself is a genesis, and Mark ends up getting addicted to videogames. He ends up going to a support group and then all is well.

I was excited to see that The Drew Carey Show had upgraded from a Saturn to a Dreamcast. I think that was on of the first times I saw a Dreamcast in a sit-com or on tv other than just a commercial...
