It makes sense, all they needed was an image on the screen and sounds for 2 seconds. It would be crazy to go through the hassle of setting up an emulator and finding ROMs just for that. I'm impressed enough that it was actually some flavor of Galaga. I don't know how many shows, even today, still use a clip of the 2600 port of Pacman when the script calls for "video game sounds".
