My wife challenged me to make this video...so here we are! Because when we were watching Top: Gun Maverick in theatres when the Lockheed Martin / Skunkworks logo appeared on screen I leaned over to my wife and said "did you know they worked with Sega on arcade and video game console hardware"...and she called me a nerd and said "well you better make a video about it then"...and I did! Retro gaming connections to modern Tom Cruise movies!

Video game development is a very interesting topic and double so when it comes to video game hardware. Lockheed Martin and Martin Marietta worked directly with Sega in the development of their Model 2 and Model 3 arcade boards AS WELL AS on a successor console to the Sega Saturn...which almost became the Sega Dreamcast! That's how deep the companies that developed fighter jets for the US Government and the Top Gun franchise goes! Retrogaming is weird sometimes.
If it wasn't for Lockheed Martin and the Real 3D graphics chipset....we wouldn't have The House of the Dead!
Oh and also in Gunblade N.Y. on the Sega Model 2...the ending sequence is basically a shot for shot remake of the ending of the original Top Gun from the 80s!
or how about the fact that Martin Marietta co-developed and funded Desert Tank from Sega on the Model 2 and even has their name in the game!
Games shown: Gunblade N.Y., L.A Machine Guns, Sonic the Fighters, The House of the Dead, Daytona 2, Scud Race and Behind Enemy Lines
