Pinball and Arcade documentary

Are they going to make a movie about the history of pinball?
 
PINBALL and arcade documentary????
Don't mind if I do.
So.
From my meager knowledge, I can share you this:
"History of Pinball" from 1998
"Tilt: The Battle to Save Pinball" aka "The Future of Pinball" made in 2006
"Special When Lit" made in 2009
"Tilt" made in 1979 (not a documentary... but precedes them)
"Pinball Summer" aka "Pick-Up Summer" made in AD 1980 (ditto)

and of course "Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game" from 2022 the movie you need if you can only get one
 
This popped up on my Facebook feed, might be worth keeping an eye out for
"Still Standing, Pinball and arcade documentary"
no idea when it is being released

Good news-- I just discovered that it's been licensed to watch online through TubiTV:
(no acct needed)


Edit2: Watched ~40min, and there were only two ad breaks.
I found it pleasant enough. Pretty much a survey of the experiences of pinball operators around the coast of Australia.

A lot of different machines seen in the movie, including some unique and pretty rare ones, but not really a deep dive in to any of them in particular. More about the experiences of the owners, and what it's like to run arcades in Oz.
