Reminds me of the last movie for 'Music Man' Robert Preston: "The Last Starfighter". {Coffee Break: UK Spy Agency Wraps Recruitment in Holiday Puzzle Britain's GCHQ intelligence service has launched its annual Christmas Challenge, combining festive brainteasers with STEM education outreach - and a practical talent scouting mission for potential new recruits.} Preston's character used the 'Starfighter' video arcade game to recruit potential pilots for his planet's war against a formidable enemy. It was a 1984 movie that was an all-around, surprisingly good 'feel good' film with surprisingly good special effects for the day...one of the first to use CGI available at the time. Available on AMZ for $3.99...a fun movie.
It was wonderful, especially for its time. And Robert Preston had a tiny role, but such Music Man vibes! And as you say, it was one of the first fantastic uses of CGI
