Fantastic Film

This movie rocks! Plain and simple this film nailed what it was like for so many of us back in the 80's. The interviews with home collectors fused with arcade shop owners was very well put together. It is interesting to see where arcades are going and this film does a great job of showing that direction. I can not say enough good things about it. Fantastic film. Favorite quotes: "once you have a piece of your childhood its hard to let it go" and " i am 28 with the mind of a 14 year old and the body of your uncle" Bringing in Walter Day was a nice touch. Listening to his comments and perspective on the arcade seen made me feel like the dream of going to meet your friends at the arcade will never die. Weather its arcade gaming at the house or going to a "barcade" the social interaction can be enjoyed by everyone. Long live the arcade!!!!!
