Well, to me anyway....
A retro acrade! I mean, I'd bet there would be a LOT of people who would love another go on the old sit down Atari Star Wars arcade game from the 80's.
I don't know if many of them exist in 2012 mind you. Having visited a seaside arcade recently I really missed the games, it was all fruit/claw machines. Not the same.

I remember playing in the Star Wars arcade game years ago. :)

The TWO Greatest Fanboy moments for me was meeting Mr. Spielberg on the 8th of January 2012 and Kermit the Frog on the 13th of June 2012- please don't ask me which was my favourite meeting as it would be too difficult to choose. :)

This is an inspired suggestion! I would absolutely love to see something along these lines at LFCC! (If not, maybe EMS)
A chance to revisit classic arcade games, the likes of which, I haven't experienced since I was a little boy, would be a very welcome trip to nostalgiaville

I suppose space and noise would be the main issue, but they are fun

Are those old arcade games fitted with a mute button, or atleast a volume control? If not, we could always have a crew member hugging the speaker, so the sound is atleast muffled

The noise from them were one of the best features. I definitely remember hearing John Williams iconic theme coming out from them and if I remember Han and Obi Wan saying something to you.
Wait, I may just be imagining hearing Alec Guinness and Harrison Ford speaking to me. In all honesty thats not really as bad as it sounds.

A little off topic but last year at EMS there was a tv close to the photoshoot area which looped trailers allday long, this got a bit annoying when queing for shoots. Seemed like it only had a few on there, The Thing prequel being one of them, I appreciate that film companies may pay for the advertising but any chance this could be placed in a non-queing area if its going to be at LFCC?
Would love to see some retro arcade machines though :)

I like the idea. Those retro video games are fun. The only issue might be the cost and finding them, but yes it is a great idea.
