Too much free time
Apparently the Dolby CP500 cinema sound processor has several games built into it, including Chess, Tetris, Marble Madness (!), and Castlevania. Other than the unfortunate flaw that Marble Madness plays its sound effects through the center channel of your installation (thus limiting your ability to play the game while presenting a movie), they seem to be decent ports. So if you've gotten tired of showing your 35mm prints to your friends, feel free to repurpose that projection booth for more important things.
Unfortunately the site describing this easter egg doesn't allow outside linking, so you'll have to go to film-tech.com and search for "Games for the Dolby CP500" to find the screen shots.
