Correct!

Going to give another hint to 40.

40.  a) Part of the gameplay of this game involves obtaining 3 keys to open up 3 different gates.  Kinda like the plot to Ready Player One.
b) This is the first game to ever give credit to the game's maker(s).  Although in this case the credits were hidden.

Adventure

Also, the idea for the 3 keys and 3 gates (shortened to just the 3 keys in the movie) is certainly coming from this game. It even shows up in the last challenge in the movie.

Correct!

I agree that the whole "3 keys" thing is a nod to Adventure.  Really the whole movie is about references and easter eggs, but I think the video game that they give the biggest nod to is Adventure.

I don't know anything about the game, but I heard about the credits. That was Atari don't credit their devs, so Robinett made an secret room with the credits in Adventure.

EDIT: I see @Bofferbrauer2 was faster.

These are the types of clues I have to give for Advenure.  I am not sure anyone else has played it other than myself.  However, it is one of the most historically important games ever made.  I think the first year I hinted that it was like The Legend of Zelda, and no one could guess it, because they hadn't played it.

#41	Descent
guessed by	The_Liquid_Laser again (4th year in a row)

This is probably the only FPS game that I've ever liked.  The fact that I could travel in three dimensions and turn myself upside down really messed with my head, but I liked it.  I also liked Bioshock, but I liked it IN SPITE OF the fact it was a FPS.  With Descent I had fun both just shooting and exploring.  It's a great game.
