just curious: has anyone from this forum watched once upon atari or get lamp yet? how cool would it be if they were to show up on etienne's server miraculously. 8) additionally, etienne's server is somewhat empty without special when lit and doctor kong ... ;)
i've just watched game over: kasparov and the machine (again) the other day and while it is not arcade stuff as we know it, this documentary has to do with machines and i think it totally kicks ass!!! imho one of the best ones out there!
-
no illigal activities on my server my friends ! ;)
-
What's wrong with actually buying the stuff if you wanna see it?
-
nothing wrong with that
-

nothing - who said that?

So far the only one I've seen are:
The King of Kong :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
Chasing Ghosts :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
Special when lit :spaceace: :spaceace:
High Score :spaceace: :spaceace:
I got next :( :( :(
I'll try to see the other documentaries you're mentioning, thanks for the tip.

also recommended: tilt - the battle to save pinball :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

HUH......?? Pinball......Ully.......Pinball.......Ully.........HUH ? ? ? ?
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Things are FAR FAR from sure yet, but IF things go well, we will have a pinball at Eurocade that even the most HARDCORE pinball hater will want to have a try at ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
We all now the only reason why I'm attending Eurocade is to take that historical picture of Ully playing pinball!
-
HUH......?? Pinball......Ully.......Pinball.......Ully.........HUH ? ? ? ?
strange, right? but those pins in the documentary have a video monitor in them (pinball 2000), so i had to watch it ;). additionally, i'm a fan of tim burton's mars attacks! however, i still think that both revenge from mars and the star wars pinball 2000 flippers are pretty lame - i simply don't get the fascination.

can only be baby pac-man, btw a pinball i would consider putting into my gameroom if i could get it for cheap! probably the only one
-
baby pacs are never cheap....
Noooooo, I'm not talking about a pinball with a monitor inside, well, not a real one...
-
alright then, bring on that video pinball of yours - i'll play that for sure :)
-
Maybe I get my VP pcb fixed till then ;) the rest of the cab ist working (tested with Lascheks working board). It's fun! The optic is amazing. If I get it on track on time I can leave a mini (or both) home and bring the VP. Till now it's not working though.
-
That would be brilliant !!! I haven't even plugged in my VP yet (pointless, there's still a ROM missing on the PCB ;))
@Ully: Video Pinball DOES have a real monitor in there.....keep guessing :D
-
If it's only the ROMs I have a working romset for you. I swapped my PALs (all 16 of them), because eight or nine were messed up. I got a romset from a klov-guy that uses the spare rom sockets on the board and needs only four roms instead of 16 PALs. Just drop me a pm if you need them ;)

An other one in approach ? :arrow:

New Video Game Docu: http://kotaku.com/5825470/this-video-game-documentary-looks-gorgeous
-
Oh, not ANOTHER documentary that focusses on (top) players. I am SO fed up with those.....
Why the F.... doesn't anyone make a documentary on the COLLECTORS. The people who love the MACHINES, painfully restore the cabs, repair the electronics, reproduce the artwork etc. etc.
Film the guy who can simply turn on a machine and just watch it, admiring it...being proud of his resto-work....show the people who have a big smile on their face when someone else is playing their machine..
The players are only the end of the line. I play, yes I play, but I suck at it, who cares, as long as I have fun, but for me, and I feel for so many others, this is only one (minor) aspect about this beautiful hobby.
The players get WAAAAAY too much attention IMHO....I bet it has to do with the US's competitive society...
-
looks like we need a camera at Eurocade and a producer ;)
-
i proposed the same idea a while back to andre, guess we'll discuss this on Sunday. ;D

Mmmm, if everyone who's coming could make some video of the cabs they bring, the road-trip etc. those scenes might "cut in" nicely with it :D

Jason Scott, the guy who made the excellent BBS Documentary and Get Lamp is looking for funds to launch 3 new series of documentaries, one of them being about arcades.
If anyone can do this right, it's him (he also runs textiles.com )

Go give him some money, and invite him over.

i think i saw nobody mentioning Tetris form rusia whit love. Its a bbc doc that's about tetris and the license battle that happend for it.

And a new one that looks promising, all about our hobby :
The Space Invaders: In Search of Lost Time (http://vimeo.com/50465335) (click the link for the video)
Beginning with Space Invaders in 1978, arcade games began to appear everywhere.
In 1982, 13,000 dedicated arcade locations existed across North America, generating $3.2 billion dollars in 1983 alone, the hard way: one quarter at a time.
By 1985, revenue had fallen 97%. Atari declared bankruptcy. Arcades began to disappear.
Most of the old games were converted or destroyed. A few, packed into warehouses, largely forgotten for another decade.
"The Space Invaders: In Search of Lost Time" is the story of classic obsession, the second life of games in basements and garages across the country.

has anyone watched this yet? or better: does anyone HAVE this yet? ;)
I watched the beginning. My initial reaction was "more of the same". I'll watch the rest later and see if it is actually different.
-
So I watched it until the end.
The editing is a bit haphazard and there's lots of filler content, but it gets better, not amazingly better but interesting enough to keep watching.
At least this one has the merit of making collectors look like relatively normal people.
-
The description says "Atari declared bankruptcy" (In 1985) I don't know where they got that from but it is total nonsense of course.....Consumer was sold to Tramiel in 1984, Warner kept the arcade part and ran it as Atari Games from that point....

WHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTT !?!?!?!?!?!
MY FOOTAGE WAS STOLEN FROM YOUTUBE !!!!
Wow, I'm dragging this guy to court, I want at least 100.000 USD ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Pretty cool really :) Would be cool if I'd get a notice and a copy on DVD though..... ;D ;D
-
he did put youtube under "aditional archive footage courtesy" in the credits ;D
I also just noticed "Arcade heroes - The Netherlands arcade scene 1982" ??? ??? never heard of that..
-
Hah !
I already had Jeff as a Facebook friend and we just had a small chat. I think he was a bit worried about it and he offered his apologies for not trying harder to contact me about it. He promised me to send a free Blu-Ray disc of the movie when they come out, and that's fine with me........ ;D After all it's just a couple of seconds and well, it is cool to see some Euro-arcade stuff in a US movie :)
Also a good excuse to buy something I can play Blu-Rays on.......like a PS3/4 ? ;D ;D

Looks interesting, can i find this on your sever Etienne?

I watched "the space invaders - in search of lost time" yesterday evening.
It was interesting to be able to put faces and voices on some guys from the scene.
Tiny spoiler alert, so don't read further if you haven't seen it:
The end was not very subtlte in underlining 5 times with a sad music and pictures that: now is the emotional moment.
Other than that I never seem to get enough of these old arcade footage, so I quite enjoyed it.

Is Archer not in it ? Then it must be boring, right Gyruss ? ;););)
And can somebody explain me why we need 4 minute trailers these days ? Why not 30 seconds or a minute ?
I feel like having seen the entire thing after these long trailers....

On some games it's possible to rack up so many extra lives that you can walk away and lave it alone for five minutes. Some games may have a bug or hidden feauture to "park" the game like Aart explained about Galaxian, but he didn't trust it enough to leave it.....I actually asked him about it and he said he uhmmm, made sure he didn't have to go plus, Galaxian is "only" about 8 hours for a WR....
I wonder most about how they don't fall asleep, happen to see a documentary about that yesterday and they showed there was some medicine called Modafinil that would keep you running for nights....it showed a Canadeian guy who was working 100 hours a week because instead of sleeping he went back to the office during the nights......I say he'll pay the price sooner or later...

I just bought the Special Collector's Edition. http://www.thespaceinvaders.org/purchase/bluray/
I had to because there is (only) one tiny, tiny, tiny stain on my memories from last RGE weekend, and that is the 25 minutes of my life that I waisted by watching The Video Craze (partly, I sneeked out after 25 minutes), and I hope that this 'Space Invaders .....' documentary will wipe that stain away. :)
-
IMHO the Space Invaders is better.
-
It´s very classic but I enjoyed it, hope you'll like it too!

Did anyone have a look when the VC was showing for the public on sunday ? Any people there ?
I was thinking maybe for non-collectors it might be a bit more interesting....apart from the :pac: scenes of course....
To compensate guys, here's a Remi Gaillard classic, to show what IS funny:

A GREAT one, right here (http://vimeo.com/74438437). Pinball's rebirth REPLAY!

Yes, at Euerocade it will be on the bigscreen..

....and don't tell anybody, but we are actually screening it one day before the world premiere :)
On and dont forget we also show Space Invaders which is also a good documentaire IMHO.
aaaaaaaaaand........dont forget to go watch the footage about classic gaming that Sound & Vison delved out of their huge archives. Some, if not all of that stuff is absolutely brilliant to see again today. Some examples:

Hey it's Bruno! Didn't notice it in the movie :)
There are also two guys from Arcade Otaku on that photo wall.
Wish I was on time to send in a photo myself. It's a cool documentary.

Bruno supported the project IIRC.
-
Yeah I guess it was a Kickstarter with rewards like this or something. I noticed this just a bit too late.
-
Guess who also passed the revue... Our good friend dexter aka steve...

Yup I knew about that before and informed them. Seems he _did_ pay them.....
