* The film [[{{YMMV}} seems like]] it borrows heavily from the WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} episode "Anthology of Interest II", wherein Fry asks a "What-If" machine what the world would be like if life was more like a video game. Video game characters declare war on Earth, leaving Fry as the only hope for salvation because he hails from a "by-gone" era. Interestingly enough, Pac-Man is defending the Earth in that episode rather than siding with the invaders.
