    Early 80s HBO animated short with a superhero/Villian battle.
    What was the HBO animated short in the early 80s that had a battle royale between superheroes and supervillians? At the end,there only a few heroes left, standing on top of a building in a victory pose, the a giant villain stand up and kills them all with a clap. Funniest ending ever.

    Pinball vs Video Games

    Arcade Attack (82)
    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 pinball 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
