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