Midway Games documentary Insert Coin will finally see a public release.

Revealed yesterday, the documentary will arrive on November 25 via Alamo Drafthouse’s Alamo On Demand Digital Release platform. It will also air in independent cinemas across the country. Directed by former Midway Games employee Josh Tsui, the documentary follows the highs and lows of the iconic video game company. The documentary will feature interviews with fellow ex-Midway employees Eugene Jarvis (Defender and Robotron: 2084), Mark Turmell (SmashTV, NBA Jam, NFL Blitz), John Tobias (co-creator Mortal Kombat series), George Petro (NARC, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Revolution X).

When it comes to Insert Coin, Tsui said:

“Insert Coin is the culmination of my work in and passion for the gaming industry blended with my love for visual storytelling. It truly is my love letter to the early days of Midway and how it influenced the transition from classic coin-operated games to ushering in a new generation of console gaming. I hope fans of video games, and especially of Midway, will love watching Insert Coin as much as we enjoyed making it!”
