The RetroBeat: Midway’s jammin’ rise and mortal fall

Arcades are a novelty these days, but they were a massive force in the industry in the 1990s. That was thanks in large part to huge hits like NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat, both of which came from Midway.

Insert Coin is a new documentary that looks at Midway Games and its arcade dominance in the ’90s. Josh Tsui, himself a former employee at Midway Games, directed the film. It’s now available to buy or rent via Alamo on Demand.
