    "Retro Arcade smells like—no, not cigarette smoke and body odor—but popcorn and day-old spilled soda with a hint of a metallic fist-full-of-quarters edge. It's...intense. The smell equivalent of flashing lights and ringing bells. No word on pricing or availability, but they're bound to be wafting out soon."

    I should have known it would be Think Geek. My Space Invaders decals are supposed to be at my house today from them. Luckily I'm in the free shipping club, so maybe I'll have to try out this arcade candle when it is available.

    If it doesn't smell like decades old nicotine, I don't want it.

    Will it have a scent of a sweaty man as well?

    Just leave the back cover off an old EM with the lights on for that "je ne sais que" arcade/bar smell.

    It should be a 50/50 mix of stale cigarettes and feet.

    Eh, if I want old arcade smell I just let my humidifier run dry. Works every time for that "sweaty man/moldy carpet" smell.

    Funny how in the old days everything stank like cigarettes, now the smell has changed to BO and farts.
