Continuity mistake: During the piano scene in the background, various other extras appear, disappear and reappear between shots. Most prominent is a boy in a shirt with red, green and yellow stripes holding the hand of a smaller boy in red. These two are behind Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia in the front scenes on the piano but beside them in the side shots, and then proceed to alternate positions between these two shots, as well as appearing, disappearing and changing positions for the duration of the scene.

Trivia: The big piano scene was actually rehearsed months before shooting. Tom and Robert had to practise on a cardboard cut out with exact dimensions of the real piano. On the day of shooting there were stunt doubles instead of them to film their feet. But once the director saw that they could do it, the stunt doubles were never used.
Question: What is the video game young Josh plays at the beginning of the movie?
Answer: According to imdb: Though some believe it to be Colossal (Cave) Adventure or an early Sierra Game, no known game up to 1988 accepts the commands "melt ice wizard" or "throw thermal pod" (as used in the movie), therefore one can assume the game screen was simply created for the movie.
