Travel back to the embryonic past of gaming history. The King of Arcades is a crowd-sourced documentary that explores the iconic heyday of video gaming in its most nascent form.
Richie Knucklez raises a truly valid point in this trailer. Gaming is a part of our collective pop-culture heritage, and should be respected and preserved. These games were the seed that helped grow a multi-billion dollar a year industry into what it is today.
"The King of Arcades is directed by award-winning filmmaker Sean Tiedeman and produced by Krystle-Dawn Willing. Starting as a passion project, this movie launched the team on an unexpected journey; from discovering the historic past in Ralph Baer's personal workshop, to capturing the present as the Smithsonian Museum recognizes gaming as art."
You'll even catch a glimpse of Isiah, oh shit Hurricane Sandy cut me in line for a Wii-U, Triforce Johnson in the documentary. Check out the trailer and let us know what you think on Twitter.
