Insert Coin (MOD) (DVD Movie)

Shannon Elizabeth stars in a story which takes you on a wild ride through Los Angeles' urban undergrowth and into the secret world of a lost generation of teenagers where late-night raves are a way of life.

Insert Coin dives into how Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, and other arcade classics were created by a ragtag crew of misfits in the back of a Chicago factory. Generating billions of dollars, they rode the wave of the booming 90s arcade scene... until a new enemy appeared. Midway grossed billions of dollars, and established a new standard for video games, but success came with a price. Through intimate and often hilarious interviews with the people who were there, Insert Coin documents how a few friends redefined an entire industry, navigated runaway success, and faced technological and business challenges, all while creating games that thrive nearly 30 years later, and a legacy that will last even longer. Featuring: Eugene Jarvis, Ernest Cline, Paul W.S. Anderson, John Tobias, Jeff Gerstmann, Andrea Rene

The minds behind a new era of artful, engaging gaming take us behind the scenes as they develop video games meant to do more than just entertain.
