I really enjoyed it myself. It was a big nostalgia fest. I wonder -- are you significantly older or younger than the audience that would've spent time enjoying these games?
I spent time on some of it. I'm only 35 so perhaps a bit young; or maybe I didn't spend enough time in arcades.
I found it heavy handed. Just dumping tons of references all over the place. Felt like he printed out a list of games and stuff and just made sure to check each one off.
I'm right dead center in the middle of the targeted age group and was extremely into arcade games at the time, but everything I've seen about "Ready Player One" makes it sound pandering at best.
