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.

has anyone watched this yet? or better: does anyone HAVE this yet?

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....
