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...

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 )

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/textfiles/the-jason-scott-documentary-three-pack

Go give him some money, and invite him over.

And a new one that looks promising, all about our hobby :

The Space Invaders: In Search of Lost Time (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.
