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 bilIions of doIIars, they rode the wave of the booming 90s arcade scene... until a new enemy appeared. Midway grossed biIIions of doIlars, 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 technological and business challenges, aII while creating games that thrive nearly 30 years Iater, and a Iegacy that will Iast even longer.
