LIFE AFTER DEATH III: Warehouse Raid

IT'S EVERY COIN-OP COLLECTOR'S DREAM: finding a warehouse full of games, with an operator just itching to sell them off at dirt-cheap prices. Join hosts Rob Craig and Steve Rothschild as they go on two warehouse raids: learn what to look for, how to approach an arcade operator, how to figure out offers, and what to take with you on the raid. It's a pinball and arcade game treasure hunt!

TILT: The Battle to Save Pinball

THE SITUATION facing the pinball designers at Williams Electronic Games in 1998: come up with something new, or see the world's largest pinball manufacturer be shut down forever. And Williams' designers did come up with something amazing: a brand new kind of pinball machine—"Pinball 2000"—that fused video with classic pinball gameplay, preserving what was great about pinball yet opening up all-new possibilities for a product thought to be on its last legs.

Yet soon after its successful and highly-profitable launch, Williams pulled the plug, leaving behind unanswered questions and abandoning one of the world's great design organizations. TILT: The Battle to Save Pinball is a documentary that tells the story behind one of entertainment's most mysterious failures.

• The 60-minute TILT: The Battle to Save Pinball documentary.
• The Directors' Commentary track, filled with anecdotes about the making of the film and thoughts on the pinball industry.
• Extra interview footage, videos, and more: In total...nearly eight hours of content!
  

Technical specifications: 4:3 NTSC video, Dolby 2.0 and 5.0 soundtracks.

(Note to international viewers: The DVD is region-free and the documentary itself features subtitles in English, French, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, and Norwegian. It is NTSC only! The DVD extras are not subtitled.)
