I have been trying to find a cartoon that was from the early 80's and seemed to be a handful of vidoe game characters battling each other. I remember there was this egyptian god like character that had a face like Anubis, and another character who was trying to blast this approaching alien or something but his gun misfired or something like that. I think the whole thing was only a few minutes,and I beliee it aired before the movie we were getting ready to watch which was Caveman w Ringo Star... anyways, does ANYONE have any type of memory about this cartoon? Memory of it waspretty cool...

Arcade Attack (82)
Arcade Attack Theatrical Cartoon
8 minutes. Austin /Hayes

The short was the last few minutes. Of a documentary on pinball vs. the new emerging novelty of the 80's- Video games. Two men with differing preferences argued about which was better.
The short begins at the end of the documentary. After closing time, the video game invaders and the pinball warriors escape the confines of their machines and battle for dominance.

One of the characters(the Pinballers) was a chrome pinball warrior who flew around with his feet resting on two giant pinballs. He reminded me of the silver surfer. Another pinaball warrior was the jackel-headed god Anubis.

Near the end of the battle, one of the final pinballers,(a barbarian-like warrior) climbed the walls of a building like the 80's video game Crazy Climber. They stood on the roof of the building in the middle of the city, and looked around at the empty streets. The Pinballers thought the video enemy had been defeated. They looked around then finally looked above. The night sky was filled with descending invaders and one massive mothership( The Videodrones).- BOOM!!! GAME OVER
