Insert Coin (2020)
9/10
Great documentary about gaming
24 February 2024
Director Joshua has a tone and a love for the guys he is interviewing and the story he is telling. And this film held may attention from the get-go because there is nothing more fascinating than hearing the story of how these games got made. It's every endearing.

We get to see the creation of games like Defender and Smash TV, before striking gold with groundbreaking arcade versions of Terminator 2, NBA Jam and the smash hit franchise Mortal Kombat.

We also get to hear from the likes of Paul W. S Anderson, the director of the Mortal Kombat movie, and his reasons for getting involved in the process. We even get a whole section on the Aerosmith starring often lamented Revolution X,

I absolutely recommend you guys give Insert Coin a shot if your the slightest bit interested in arcades or gaming in general. It's very open and honest in they way they describe the times.
