Documentary 'Insert Coin' offers a detailed look at Midway Games, the developer of franchises including MortalKombat, NBA Jam and one of the first companies to use live capture techniques in coin-operated arcade video game
Insert CoinNBA JamThe film is directed by Chicago-based video game developer Joshua Tsui , whose first job in the industry was at Midway in the early 1990s. While most artists came from a comic book or illustration background at that time, his film school education and video background was appealing to the company.
At that point, Tsui would explain that it was one company. "We were all in these horrible conditions in the back of a pinball factory, making these games," he recalls with a laugh. "At the time, it was one hit game after another, all coming from the one place. A lot of people didn't know that.
Sharing a little bit of the process, Tsui remembers how different things were back then. "You would bring actors into a very small stage — we would shoot in a storage space," he says, adding that they couldn't use green or blue screen because "the images were so low-res that the green or blue from the background would bleed into the characters and cause all sorts of problems".
