Part 1 - Future Easter Eggs to Sony's video games may appear in 1983 comedy Joysticks which is set largely in a video arcade full of real world game cabinets common to the time period. Sony's audio & video hardware became reference gear for developers and serious gamers but the company did not enter heavy game production until the early 1990s when it marketed the Playstation console. - In the arena tournament duels with King Vidiot later in the film, special custom controllers are used which appear to be transparent red spheres with black buttons. I thought this a possible future nod to the similar looking symbol of the FreeBSD UNIX like operating system. Sony worked out a deal to use a version of the platform for its Playstation 3 console released in 2006. - Several Bally Midway arcade cabinets can be seen in the film that use a special joystick controller created by George Gomez (Satan's Hollow, Gorf, Solar Fox & Tron). Sony used the word "tron" on it's Trinitron displays and TV's from 1968. - At around 12 minutes, 5 seconds we're introduced to punk rocker King Vidiot & his entourage of girlfriends. On has a button on her shirt with the letter / symbol "X". Sony included the X as a button on it's PSX controller from the 1994 release.
