The major studios' sound departments each sell libraries of dozens of CDs worth of sound effects - practical recordings, Foley, electronic, etc. All the studios and most mid-size or larger video game developers have a copy or 3. One of those libraries contains "video game sounds" which are all stuff sampled off 2600 Pac-Man by someone back in the 80s.
WRT the original post, Downey ad-libbed the Galaga reference so it's fairly impressive the art department even pulled in something that actually was Galaga at all.
