Screen Documentary - The Lost Arcade

OL1 Europa Building, Teesside University

'Part Scrappy, part sweet and wholly enjoyable, The Lost Arcade is a love letter to a vanished piece of New York, and a little wish for the future. This documentary, directed by Kurt Vincent, recounts the golden years (the 1980s and early ‘90s) of New York City arcades, when teenagers slid countless quarters into video games. They were doing more than playing, though - an underground culture formed with its own rivalries, heroes and friendships, particularly among those who specialized in fighter games.' The New York Times.
