Vincent descends on his subject like an angel of mercy, casting light on the disenfranchised denizens that found in the arcade a home away from home.

The fate of Chinatown Fair makes for a reasonably compelling, if familiar, story... [Yet] it's when the film wanders offsite that its true subject emerges.

The Lost Arcade is an interesting little documentary for fans of not only the history of New York City but also the evolution of gaming culture as a whole.

"The Lost Arcade" speaks to a greater cultural shift towards personal isolation without putting too fine a point on it and the desire by some to rebel against it.

Awesome Bit Of Nostalgia. Most Certainly Defines The Micro-Gen Population (Born 1975-to-1985) Between Gen-X & Gen-Y / Millenials, Whom Saw Analogue Circut-Based Gaming Switch Into Digital Disk Based Gaming. Watched The Internet Take Hold & Saw The Demise Of Real-Life Group-Gathering Overtaken By Cyber-Virtual World Gaming. This Doco Cements An Era In Place That Would Otherwise Have Been But A Blip On The Pop-Culture Radar. It's Very Well Done & Doesn't Try Too Hard In Proving The Point That Once Something Is Lost, Only Then, Do You Truly Appreciate Its Worth.
