Is this from the JP game or reality or both?

Both. Just Google Image search "Cray x-mp". As the description says, this was a super computer from the early 80s. I think it's the coolest looking computer ever.

I've seen it before. It was on the DVD extras for the movie Last Starfighter.

It is an actual computer. It is , in fact, THE computer that "The Last Starfighter" was modeled and rendered on.

I remember that now. I saw that movie about 2 or 3 years ago. They had a bit about that computer on the DVD in the extras.
