I don't know about this one... I liked the interviews with other collectors, competitive gamers, and fans with actual passion, whose stories are quite touching. Too bad the actual "quest" is the worst part of the documentary. It's about a spoiled man-child named Jay who is far from a likeble person with quite a few [spoiler](daddy and anxiety)[/spoiler] issues. He's going on a challenge to collect all 678 official North-American retail releases of NES games in 30 days, without buying games online. So... I expected an epic roadtrip showing the passion of a true classic game collector. He does the complete opposite of what classic game collecting should be. Rushing, haggling, buying bulk for unreasonable prices. Also really rare games were acquired for far under reasonable prices. Sellers had to cooperate all "for the cause", otherwise they would look bad in the documentary. The fact that Jay has a house stacked with Star Wars collectables (and I mean a lot) and retro games bothers me, because it looks like money shouldn't be such a problem in terms of paying the right prices for those games. His actual love for the games is never shown.

I have no clue why the audience does not get to know the budget or how much he paid for the games. Why did you do a documentary if you aren't going to actually document anything? To have a meter representing the budget, but no indicator of how much said budget is makes no sense. This movie was fine, but it literally edited out any sort of interesting moment with one or two exceptions. Just as he's about to haggle for the first time, it just cuts to later on where they are discussing how he did a good job haggling.... Would have been nice to actually SEE that. I would have liked to hear more about the games and why some were more expensive than others, but i guess that wasn't important to the filmmakers either. I didn't hate it.. But I definitely won't be raving to my friends about it.
