Wait, people are shocked that playing against AI opponents in arcade games is brutally hard?

Anyone looking forward to the upcoming MK Legacy Kollection by @digitaleclipse.bsky.social should check out "Long Live Mortal Kombat: Round 1" by @davidlcraddock.bsky.social & "Insert Coin" (@insertcoindoc.bsky.social) by @joshuatsui.bsky.social. The latter is free to watch. youtu.be/7zx5GunyUS4?...

Insert Coin Documentary is now available on YouTube for free. www.resetera.com/threads/10...

Glad you got one, but we have a much larger run than 500 disks!

there is a very cool documentary about Midway Games called Insert Coin that is completely free on YouTube right now and it's a pretty fun time if you have an hour and some change to kill

Just finished watching the Insert Coin Documentary by Josuha Tsui, wow good documentary and didn't know Ed Boon was getting almost burnt out by working on so many Mortal Kombat Games. Now i want to play The Grid even more. Too bad WB Games only cares about MK and Batman most likely

Folks it’s been A Week of Movies let me tell you #LastFourWatched

This isn't even a controversial point, it's just how capitalism works. Like, in the documentary Insert Coin (about the heyday of Midway arcade games) there's a bit where the head guy says he couldn't make the developers too rich or they'd leave.

The 1990s was the peak of the popularity of sports video games. At the time of the Genesis' release in America, the ads put great emphasis on sports titles. Insert Coin, the documentary about Midway Games, is apt to point out how NBA Jam revived interest in arcades as much as Mortal Kombat etc.

You can watch the full Insert Coin documentary on Youtube now for free and I highly recommend it. Great insight into the wild days of Midway and general 90s arcade/game development back in the day.

The Insert Coin documentary is now on YouTube in its entirety and I would recommend it wholeheartedly. Genuinely one of the best gaming documentaries I've ever watched www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zx5...

This is your semi-regular reminder that Savant's amazing soundtrack for Insert Coin is here for your listening enjoyment! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC_H...

We really should do Bruceploitation when other actors die, like Tom Cruise.

The Jedi prototype was sent to Lucasarts towards the end of Studio Gigante's existence. Unfortunately our runway was short so the team (and I) eventually got absorbed into EA. Then about a month after that, Lucasarts contacts us to see if we were still available 😜

Thank you for all your support over the years!

Chicago meme

The amount of work the wrestlers did for Wrestlemania The Arcade Game was just insane. 2 days of shooting, 8-10 hours a day of hits, falls, and running. Check out Razor Ramon hard at work www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iXi...

Come say hello to the bad guy! Premiering today at 12pm CT! Behind the scenes footage of Razor Ramon from Wrestlemania The Arcade Game! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iXi...

Had a great conversation with New City Chicago about the Insert Coin exhibit currently at Cleve Carney Art Museum design.newcity.com/2025/01/31/s...

If you are around the western suburbs of Chicago, our community college has an amazing exhibition called “Insert Coin” at the Cleve Carney Museum of Art through end of February www.theccma.org/insert-coin

John Tobias came by our Insert Coin show! Wish I'd been there to meet him. The exhibit is still open in Glen Ellyn until February. It's a great space and we're proud of what we managed to accomplish! www.theccma.org/insert-coin

Took a trip to see the exhibit "insert coin" at the college of DuPage in Glen Ellen IL, heres some pics from it. It was totally worth the $14! Various pics from around the art wing are included.

!!!

We’re excited to announce our Insert Coin screening & panel discussion is set for Tuesday, Feb 11 at 6 p.m. We’re also thrilled that John Tobias, co-creator of Mortal Kombat, will join Joshua Tsui & Jack Haeger for a post-film conversation! Tickets: atthemac.org/events/inser... #InsertCoin

via @ChicagoGamespace: "Look who came to visit @InsertCoinDoc: Inside Midway's Arcade Revolution! OG @MortalKombat co-creator and artist John Tobias graced the exhibition, hung out with exhibition co-organizer Josh Tsui and signed his artwork. 1/2

While working on the “new thing,” the “old thing” just keeps coming up with ways to distract me from the “new thing.” But this is a special one as I get to moderate a panel with my old bosses, friends, and business partner. Come join us on Feb 11th! mpv.tickets.com?_gl=1*1cwus0...

Been a few years since I last watched Insert Coin so gave it another viewing this morning. Fantastic documentary & well worth watching if you've never seen it before! youtu.be/7zx5GunyUS4

If you're near the Chicago area in the next few months, get out to the suburbs and visit the Insert Coin exhibit at College of DuPage. It's based on the Josh Tsui documentary about the history of Midway and its various incarnations over the years. www.chicagogamespace.com/exhibitions/...
