About The King of Arcades
Follow the rise and fall of the King of Arcades as one man pursues his dream against all odds. The King of Arcades details the life and times of punk rock musician and classic arcade collector Richie Knucklez, on his journey to cultural prominence when he takes his passion for collecting to new heights by opening an arcade business in Flemington, New Jersey, only to watch it fall in the wake of economic hardship.
Directed by Sean Tiedeman, The King of Arcades leans on a strong ensemble — Ralph H. Baer, Tim Balderamos, Greg Bond — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2014.
