While the video arcade culture of the 1970s and 80s has largely vanished from the American landscape, it’s alive and well in Japan–100 Yen: A Japanese Arcade Experience is a documentary exploring Japan’s still thriving arcade sub-culture.
The documentary explores aspects of Japan’s arcade gaming culture ranging from the current experiences of arcade gamers to the factors that bring them together (like limited residential spaces to game in and urban-centered lifestyles).
