Ok. All you guys out there with cams that can take screenshots, pay close attention here. Can one of you fellas take a pic of when Ray slides down the pole during their first call in the first GB movie? Ive been tryin to identify the arcade games they have in the background and all i can tell is that its a pinball machine (i think, i cant remember) and a couple of others and i thought maybe somebody out there might have an idea. Does anybody know which games were over there?

No need to fire up the DVD-ROM drive.
Edimasta has already posted a screengrab of that very scene (linking to his site directly seems to get GeoCities errors a lot, so I'm hosting the picture from my site for this post).
The game on right looks familar, but it's late and I can't remember the name.
The middle one is Star Castle (see picture to compare).
And I don't know from pinball machines, though it appears to be a lady of some sort (but then, most of them had a half-nekid chick on them back then).

The pinball machine kinda looks like a Star Wars game. It's hard to tell.

One on the left looks like Pac-man.
And actually, all old pinball machine backboard art had 17-19 year old sluts on them. A way of attracting young males to play back then. Of course now we're addicted so they don't need to show sex, just really cool looking pics.
Long Live Pinball.

Here's some info on some of the games… I'm still not completely convinced that the left-most game is Pac-Man though. The cabinet is too dark. It might have been a conversion job.
The right-most pinball game looks pretty to be a pretty generic early-80's low-tech pinball game. The middle one is certainly the arcade game Star Castle though.
KLOV: Star Castle
KLOV: Pac-Man

Woof - I'm kind surprised you missed the first arcade game. Missile Command from Atari - it's actually showing the game playing on the screen (I'm not even sure the others are turned on).
It's the full-size version (not cocktail or cabaret) : https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8715
Star Castle you got - and the last one (the Pinball machine) was Star Gazer from Stern (1980) :
