What's the title of this movie?

Hi gang!

I remember a sci-fi movie I watched when I was a youngster. It was either a late 70's or first-half 80's movie judging by the picture quality, but I could be wrong. Definitely American movie.

The thing is, I don't remember the title and I can't find any info about it. I'd just need to see a few pics or a plot outline to recognize it. The things I vaguely remember from the plot:

- it's about a young guy (high school?) who lived in a trailer park or something like that and he was good at video games
- he played a game like "space invaders" or something like that at the local bar (?) and a middle-aged guy came to visit him and said that he's from space and the aliens need him to help them save their world from some invaders. They know him from the arcade game somehow ... He'd be a pilot for one of their star-fighters.
- he gets in the guy's car, it turns really futuristic like and they fly with it out into space ... I also recall that the guy took his face off (like a mask) and it turned out he was a robot or android
- in order to cover for him, while he's gone in space, the aliens sent a kinda bio-android/cyborg imitation back to the kid's place and he's interacting with his friends and family

That's all I remember... I was like 5 or 6 back then It's surprising that I still remember such details I guess that movie kinda "caught my eye" and stayed in my memory. I'd love to get it somehow and finally watch it from start to finish
