Below are nineteen screen caps from various fictional videogames created specifically for movies or television (plus I threw one wild weenie in there that kind of breaks the rules just to keep you on your toes). Can you name not only the movie/show the game appears in, but the name of the fictional game itself?
Answers will be posted in the comments.
Surprisingly (*cough* notsomuch *cough*) I'm not the first person to write on this topic (the internet is crawling with fictional videogame lists), but I was able to sneak in a few overlooked titles.
A great video from WatchMojo (which I used to source a few elusive screen caps) is embedded at the very bottom (...but watch it AFTER trying to name the screens, big cheater!)

Screen 17: Here's the one that not only breaks the rules but may technically not even qualify as "fake". It's "Armies of the Night", a videogame contained within another videogame, The Warriors (Rockstar, 2005) based on the movie The Warriors (1979). It's actually a fully playable mini-game that you can unlock while playing The Warriors. So if you can actually play it, what's so fake about it? Well, "Armies of the Night" is depicted as an upright arcade cabinet that takes quarters... and that only exists within the environment of the game The Warriors. Can U fake it?
Screen 18: military simulation game (name unknown) from Toys (1992)
Screen 19: "Global Thermonuclear War" from War Games (1983)
I only got four! The Never Say Never Again game was super familiar, but I couldn't come up with it. I recall some kind of virtual reality game in a Seaquest episode. There was also one in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
