Chasing Ghosts like so many Pac-Men

When you walk into an arcade today, what do you see? First off, you’re lucky to find an arcade in the first place. They’re becoming rarer than unicorns, outside of amusement facilities like Dave and Busters or maybe as a cool, dark attraction for kids to duck into during the hottest part of a visit to a theme park.

A few old-school arcades still cling stubbornly to existence. They’re usually dusty-smelling holes in the wall with dead hobos gone stiff beside DDR machines covered with baked spit. It seems like it’s been centuries since the arcade was king.

The upcoming movie “Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade” is a look back at an era when people lined up out the door to play “Asteroids”, “Defender” and the gorilla King of Kings, “Donkey Kong.” The film will feature testimonials from arcade-crazy individuals who spent a small fortune acquiring high scores.

Have your parents been going on about the worthlessness of the current electronic-crazy generation? "Chasing Ghosts" will be the perfect rebuttal.
