I remeber D.A.R.Y.L, where the boy defeats the machine playing Pole Position on the 800XL

I can actually picture myself watching a porno and going "Whoa, that's a Mega STe!!" *pause/rewind/replay*

Not sure whether that means the film failed in its duties, or we're just a bunch of geeks.

Where? And which addition of the film? Is it worth getting a Blu-ray widget thingy?

In "The last Starfighter" a teenager used a Atari video game with a futuristic logo beside that looked very similar to the Atari logo. In "Moon 44" there are thanks to Atari Corp. that can be read after the film ends.

Was long time ago when I watched that film, but wasn't him playing on an arcade machine? I don't remember that he was playing on a computer at all.

Yes, that was a arcade machine!

Who is trying to kill the neighbours because he's an Amiga owner.

Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but wasn't the "thumbprint" door-opener in
Back to the Future 2 (where jennifer is trapped in thier future home) supposed to be by Atari?

Roger plays an Atari Night Driver arcade machine in 'Dawn of the Dead'

Not exactly films - and not all Atari either - but worth a mention.

Child's Play 3 - Atari Lynx (I'm pretty sure the game played in both scenes is Xenophobe).

Airplane -- The Air Traffic Controllers played Basketball on the Atari 2600.

IIRC National Lampoon's Vacation. Russ Griswald is playing Pac Man on the 2600 which then
attempts to eat the family car.
