PALs in Popular Culture
Over time PALs and PAL-like systems have appeared in numerous productions of the entertainment industry, often without being called such by name. For example, they can be found in films such as Damnation Alley (1977), WarGames (1983), Crimson Tide (1995), and The Sum of All Fears (2002), in the video game Metal Gear Solid (1998), or in the fourth season of the television program 24.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“Sanity consists in not being subdued by your means. Fancy prices are paid for position, and for the culture of talent, but to the grand interests, superficial success is of no account.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
