Discover NYC's 'Lost Arcade' on your go-to video library

The polish of modern gaming has nearly killed off the arcade era, but at what cost? The Lost Aracade, a documentary about Chinatown Fair, New York City's last true arcade, captures the camaraderie, grit and sex that was all part of that culture. "There was a melting pot of a community that congregated there," says director Kurt Vincent, "where all walks of life came together and shared one common interest: video games." A big part of the film's charm is the grime of New York City, and the "CF," as locals called it, looks like every seedy thing you ever imagined about the Big Apple. Founded at an unknown time, but came to prominence in the '70s with coin-op games like Space Invaders, Ms. Pac-Man, Defender and Asteroids.
