lnsert Coin dives into how MortaI Kombat, NBA Jam, and other arcade classics were created by a ragtag crew of misfits in the back of a Chicago factory. Generating biIIions of dolIars, they rode the wave of the booming 90s arcade scene... untiI a new enemy appeared. Midway grossed billions of dolIars, and estabIished a new standard for video games, but success came with a price. Through intimate and often hiIarious interviews with the people who were there, Insert Coin documents how a few friends redefined an entire industry, navigated runaway success, and faced technologicaI and business challenges, aII whiIe creating games that thrive nearIy 30 years Iater, and a Iegacy that wilI last even longer.
