Scott Marks San Diego Reader 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. Aug 25, 2016 Full Review Jordan Hoffman Guardian A small gem of a film Rated: 3/5 Aug 12, 2016 Full Review Eric Hynes Village Voice 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. Aug 12, 2016 Full Review Kaitlyn Booth Bleeding Cool 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. Rated: 8/10 May 21, 2019 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest "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. Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Steve Erickson Gay City News ... surprisingly optimistic. Feb 14, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Dang, I wanna see this one Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
