I think I'm the only one who hasn't seen King Of Kong.    :-[

I did see Chasing Ghosts recently (someone mentioned it when discussing Berzerk).  I completely agree that it bummed me out and I agree that the 'art' collection was too funny.  For those who are looking for it, have you tried torrents?

It bummed me out so much, that I deleted it from my portable player so that I wouldn't be tempted to watch it again.

I was hoping for a fun, upbeat recollection of the arcades that I'd like to share with my kids.  Sadly, it's not even close.  What about the end of Chasing Ghosts....sending the mail to the Smithsonian (or something like that?)  That was kinda sad....right?

I'd love to see an arcade retrospective/documentary that showcases lots of games.  Not just focused on one or two.

It would also be kinda cool if these documentaries had working machines.  I wanted to see the 2 guys go head to head in Berzerk....but they couldn't get the game to work!  And with High Score, why would you attempt a world record on a machine that keeps crashing??

Netflix has this in their "Watch It Now" section right now, meaning you can stream it if you have broadband.

I got the feeling that the filmmakers lived down the street from the Berzerk guy - who the hell cares about THAT game?

I do!!  I love Berzerk.  But, for the movie to spend that much time with two previous Berzerk Champions and then not show them playing.....that's absolutely absurd.

I have broadband! :D   But I don't have Netflix   :'(

Perhaps I'll check Hulu....

MaineEvent:
Finally watched it.....no thanks to HULU
Not a bad little documentary, felt pretty bad for the guy though.
When does the roller skating sequel come out?  ::)

HanoiBoi:
I just watched King of Kong.

Am I the only one that thinks Billy Mitchell is douchey?

And then the whole Twin Galaxies 'frat' treating Wiebe as an outsider?   WTF?  They should've welcomed him with open arms.

Based on what I've seen in King Of Kong and Chasing Ghosts, that's a group of people that I could do without.
