Was thinking this knowledge could be used as a recruiting tool, then immediately this came to mind...

"Greetings, Starfighter. You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada..."

I don't know if this is what you're referring to, but this is exactly what patio11 is working on now http://www.starfighters.io/

He's referring to the (1984) movie "The Last Starfighter", in which an arcade game is used to recruit a fighter pilot.

It's also where patio11 + ptacek got the name for that project.
