Did anyone watch the season finale of the Americans on fx?? at around 40 minutes in they show a guys apartment that is about to die (oops spoiler alert) and he has a sweet commodore 64 setup and then as they pan the room he has a 5200 trackball and wico controller on the table!!!!!!  Sooo awesome!!!!!!!  Does anyone know how to do a screenshot, if so post it up!

On that note since we are at it I will share this similar post I made elsewhere :

 

spotted THIS little setup in the movie Time Walker 1982, horrible Alien / Mummy B-movie lol. 

See HERE @ approx 1:10:30

Here is a grab I made:

JUST A THOUGHT if OK with the OP of course, perhaps re-title this thread to something like

"Retro Gaming & Computing hardware spotted in Film/TV" ?

This is similar to the thread I copied this post from but then we could all continue and contribute to keep this focus going !  :thumb:

Hey MaximumRD great job.  Can I change the thread name/and I put it in the 5200 forum.....

 

Cool, I messaged Justin so perhaps he or if another MOD / ADMIN see it sooner they could change the title to something more appropriate like "Retro Hardware in Movies & TV"  as well as move it to somewhere more appropriate like Retro General or perhaps Movies & TV or wherever the MOD / ADMIN feels would be the best place. :)  Everyone could then add their own sightings and I will keep my eye's open

as well. 

 

UPDATE : AND DONE , THANKS JUSTIN.
