I just watched the movie and I got to say Chasing ghost and King of Kong are a lot better.
The main character isn't really interesting, I don't like how it ended and I missed some other famous missile command player. But still, it's always nice to see some arcade related footage, so thanks for the tip and upload.  :)

i have to agree with gyruss, KOK and CG are much better!, though it´s still fun to watch  :)
And i also really miss other famous MC players, for instance Roy Shildt´s AKA Mr. Awesome!! he is the funniest character ever in KOK! i know wee could discuss what ever is true or untrue, but the way he speaks about Billy is..... damn funny!

just finished watching the documentary and i L-O-V-E-D  :-* every second of it - one of the reasons might be that i have a missile command at home. don't know whether it resets after playing it for more than a day though  ;) it's sad to see that technology comes in the way of beating a score, although the last time he tried for the high score, he screwed it up himself. nevertheless, great docu, well executed and a nice (musical) score!

thx for sharing!!!

Yeah, i liked it too, but KOK and Chasing ghosts are way better

still i enjoyed it

by the way , if there are people here who have more arcade related movies / documentaries that are not on my FTP yet, feel free to upload it and PM me  8)

At the moment there is:

King of kong
Chasing ghosts
Highscore
an episode of my name is earl (there is a reference to kok in this episode as you can read on IMDB)
The "punky pong" episode of Bones
and not to forget the compilation that i made from 4 episodes of how its made

Ive had Joysticks, but that movie really sucked  ;D
Can put it back if someone is interested doh.
