The Last Starfighter
This was good, but not up to the quality of the other classics of the eighties, such as The Goonies and Gremlins.
The story of the videogame player recruited to fight in a intergalactic war has aged well, and the non CGI special effects were generally great.
The downsides were the lack of battles – it’s all over too quickly, and some hokey bits back on earth, but it’s well worth watching.

The Outfoxies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outfoxies
Outfoxies is a 1994 arcade game by Namco that depicted a competition between professional hitmen to see who is the best.
The characters are eclectic: a chimp in a tuxedo, a paralyzed scientist in a wheel chair, male and female twins, a punk acrobat, a man with a metal arm as well as far more normal entries like a woman in a suit dress and a man with a leather jacket make up the cast. Each character has different attribute.
