Great film on American Arcade culture. Very nice editing, and composition of the film. Contains a lot of historical information with clips from past broadcasts. The main focus is the story of Richie and how he follows his dream of opening up a modern arcade and the problems with having such a goal. Very fun and it will bring nostalgia to arcade fans.

I have to be honest with you and tell you that this is my first movie review I have ever done. The King of Arcades is such a great film I had to write a review about it! I love this documentary for what it is about (Arcades), its shows the passion, heart and dedication of the people who made the Arcade what it is today, you may take it for granted when you walk into an arcade and put a quarter into a machine, but this film shows you a different point of view and makes you realize that its more then just a game, its a way of life, family and love. Richie Knucklez true passion for arcades is unbelievable, not only is he the King of Arcades but also is the Doctor of Arcades, he takes what was old and make them new. Thank you Dr. Knucklez for bringing new life into these old arcades and showing everyone young and old especially my kids what an Arcade is.

WOW. Such a great movie. I was involved in the film, so I have an idea of how hard the cast and crew worked to make this documentary possible. Sean brings it all together to make the documentary not only informative but personal as well. Whether you are a video game novice, or an expert you will enjoy this film. Experts will appreciate the nostalgia and the novices will learn a thing or two about the evolution of video games. If you're not interested in video games, that's okay too. Another theme of the film is following your dreams. Everyone has a dream and the King of Arcades (Richie Knucklez) isn't afraid to go out there and make it happen. Richie is on the never ending quest to keep Classic Arcade Games relevant in a world full of Wiis, Xboxes and Playstations. One thing is for sure. It ain't easy.

Here is a well done look into the real world of arcade game COLLECTING! The movie Wreck It Ralph gave us the classic games in a unique perspective...and now we can see those same games explored in the REAL world by people who both love and rescue these arcade games that are slowly slipping away from us! See how they get rebuilt by one of the pioneers of restoration and how he tries to make a go with a commercial arcade! Peppered with interviews of some of the first designers of these machines who talk the original days they were manufactured and how many of them have withstood the test of time! Richie Knucklez love for these machines is shown as he struggles with today's problems of storefront rent, lack of parts to fix them, and balancing family life with his passion!
