We wrote about the fantabulous arcade documentary Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade when it premiered at Sundance in 2007, and we featured interviews with director Lincoln Ruchti and producer Mark Verrachia. It’s been a long road for the film — which was playing in Park City against The King of Kong at Slamdance — but now you can finally see it.
Chasing Ghosts is on Showtime this month — in HD, no less — and has three more showings through the end of December. Set your DVRs for “capture” and have yourself a little screening party. It’s well worth seeing and features everyone’s favorite/most hated gamer, Billy Mitchell. With any luck, we’ll see this on Netflix or DVD soon, because playing this on your Xbox 360 or PS3 will surely make the space-time continuum fold in on itself.
Arcade documentary Chasing Ghosts now showing on Showtime originally appeared on Joystiq on Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
