SYNOPSIS
INSERT COIN is the amazing behind-the-scenes story of the making of Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam and other massive videogame hits.
Through intimate and often hilarious interviews we witness how a small, tight-knit group of friends deal with controversies, next level success, and the roller coaster ride that comes with it.
"Sometimes the right subject finds the right person behind the camera...and that's what makes Insert Coin much more than your average video game behind-the-scenes documentary."

"With entertaining and fascinating nuggets throughout, ‘Insert Coin’ is a lot of fun. It’s a wonderful companion piece for a very significant era in gaming history."
James Swirsky
Co-Director of Indie Game: The Movie
"Superbly told. A love letter to the wild west era of game-making, where—with just a keyboard and joystick—the outlaws broke all the rules and in the process made some of the greatest games in the 80s and 90s.”
