This documentary will make u feel like you went back in time to the 80s to 90s, or u took a trip to a retro arcade.
Seeing video games as a collector's game is on a whole different level.

Look, this "movie" was just put together with self-filmed clips by youtubers and liberal stock footage inserts so technically it's awful, but what makes it a real slog is the need to aggrandize WATA games and that whole scam. They literally just wave off valid criticism of WATA by saying it's all jealousy which is really something else. Then you have the fact that the key faces in this movie are simply showing off their stuff and talking about how valuable it is and how they turn down offers, etc. The actual "real" people like Metal Jesus, Riggs, Hancock, etc are barely in it while the hoarder scammers of the WATA crowd get to wave their proverbial dicks in your face with their rare stuff. Get a life! And no how many times someone says that preserving a sealed game etc is preserving history, pop-culture, or art, doesn't make it true. These things were commodities. You are celebrating plastic and cardboard. The game exists outside of those things. A part of me wishes disc rot on all their rare games, but being somewhat of a collector myself (albeit with way stronger boundaries than these people) I will admit it's neat to see what they have, but the smugness of them really gets me.
Amazing documentary for children of the 80s/90s and those interested or are currently collector's of 80s-early 90s nostalgia especially video games, and video game systems. It's well put together and briefly explains the various systems discussed for even the casual collector or for those interested in learning more about the collecting fandom. Looking forward to the possible part 2, or physical release with deleted/cut interviews which as I understand is happening!
I never knew about the people who collects old / older video games. This movie documents behind the popular video games and go deeper on people collecting games. It's funny, educational and also eye opening. Highly recommended it.
The film is primarily based on collecting NES games and doesn't get into the nostalgia of the original era of gaming. It feels like a 2021 film based on 2021 gaming.
The people used in the film don't tell the story of gaming in the 80s and 90s and just don't have a sense of what it was like to game during this time. It's like they decided to collect something and chose NES cartridges, which produces a very boring film.
