It's impossible to talk about the history of video games without mentioning the arcade scene. Yet, somehow, Defunct Games has managed to ignore this important part of gaming for twelve years. That today ... or, actually, next week!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you INSERT COIN, a brand new video series running every Thursday. Join Robert Johnson as he explores every side of the arcade scene with his insightful video essays. But you don't have to take my word for it, because we have a commercial lined up explaining what to expect on February 7, 2013!


Rob: "Hi, I'm Rob. Do you ache for the days of Street Fighter II machines in every Laundromat? Remember when Chuck E. Cheese had more than just redemption games? When you visit a GameWorks and you see an empty Tekken 5 machine, does it make you sad inside? Well, I have a web series for you. It's called INSERT COIN and every Thursday I'm going to share with you the personal stories and memories of my favorite arcade games from the late '80s to the early '90s. So let INSERT COIN fill the empty space in your heart that Xbox Live, Dave & Busters and MAME just can't fulfill."
