John Tobias N Neil Nicastro What Insert Coin Is About
A handful of people gathered in the back of a Chicago factory made some of the most played arcade games in the world across the late eighties and nineties. Midway pushed the idea of scanning real performers into a game, and Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam refilled the arcades and earned billions. The documentary is that team's account in their own words: how they worked, how they fought, how it came apart. Joshua Tsui is not looking in from outside; he worked at Midway himself during those years. The violence in Mortal Kombat ended up in front of the United States Senate and started the process that gave games an age rating system. The film does not skip past that either.
