Never Say Never Again
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Say_Never_Again#The_game_Domination_within_the_film
game was called domination
"Connery as Bond playing the fictional video game Domination in the film.
In the film at a casino Bond and Largo play a holographic table-top video game called “Domination” designed by Largo himself. The objective is power with the computer picking random countries that light up on the map and are worth variable dollar amounts. The two opposing players then target the country with their lasers, with the first one to hit it marks it with their corresponding color (either red or blue) and wins the award. The left controller can fire two nuclear missiles at the opponent which can be blocked by timely use of a shield controlled by the right controller. Should the shield not be activated in time the player struck loses the game automatically. The loss of countries also causes an electric shock in the handles of the controllers which increases along with the stakes at play. There is no safety cutoff on the shock levels and should the player avoid the pain by releasing the controls this registers as an automatic loss. The computer’s voice over begins the game saying “Thank you, gentlemen. Eternal battle for the domination of the world begins.” It also announces random target selections, dollar values, and the pain levels being administered to the players. Should a certain threshold of electric shock be reached the machine announces “Danger level.” At first Bond is unaware of the electric shock and releases the controls but after explaining the detail he left out Largo invites Bond to play again which they do. Bond then loses through gameplay, but invites Largo to play again with all the remaining countries in the rest of the world at stake which would mean that the machine would administer lethal shocks should one of the players falter. Bond while losing at gameplay is able to inflict enough damage to make it a contest of pain tolerance between him and Largo and with Largo’s release of the controllers Bond is victorious. Instead of taking cash for his victory he takes a dance with Domino."
