I kinda agree. I'd like to see a documentary from a serious arcade gamers' point of view. People who were obsessed about certain game(s) and about the high score competition (that was very real at least in my local arcade).
I remember when someone first got into the second mothership in Xevious... those two "rolling objects" and that huge exploding bomb appeared... and the whole arcade was watching there in awe... speechless. They were like "holy shit". It was amazing. Or when Dragon's Lair came. It was so revolutionary.
Small memorable "moments" from the arcades and all that. It was much more than just "Pac Man/Space Invaders hype".
Most of these documentaries are just about "general stuff". We older guys all remember that era so we don't really get much from that... something that goes "beyond the surface" would be cool.
Not that I have nothing against these documentaries though... I love to watch them all.
