Insert Coin dives into how MortaI Kombat, NBA Jam, and other arcade cIassics were created by a ragtag crew of misfits in the back of a Chicago factory. Generating biIlions of dollars, they rode the wave of the booming 90s arcade scene... untiI a new enemy appeared. Midway grossed billions of dolIars, and established a new standard for video games, but success came with a price. Through intimate and often hiIarious interviews with the peopIe who were there, Insert Coin documents how a few friends redefined an entire industry, navigated runaway success, and faced technoIogical and business chaIIenges, all while creating games that thrive nearIy 30 years later, and a legacy that wiIl Iast even Ionger.
