On March 15, LEGO Dimensions will be releasing a new expansion pack with the Midway Arcade Retro Gamer Level Pack (71235). This new pack will allow players to play 24 classic arcade favorites in full including Defender, Gauntlet, Joust, Rampage, and Spyhunter, just to name a few. Along with it, we also get the Gamer Kid LEGO minifigure as well as builds of the Arcade Machine and the Spy Hunter G-6155 Interceptor.
We here at The Brick Fan have been given an awesome opportunity to interview the Associate Producer at TT Games, Mark Warburton, about the Level Pack and you can also join in the interview as well. Send us questions below in the comments you may have about the Midway Arcade Level Pack and we’ll choose the best ones to ask Mark. Keep in mind this interview is specifically about the Midway Pack. I’ll let this run until Sunday or Monday.

In no particular order:
What was your favorite part of the project? Either the design of the toys or the in-game content.
What other objects where considered besides the G-6155 Spy Hunter car and Defendor cabinet?
Will there be other Midway or ‘retrcade’ themed Dimensions (or non-Dimensions) sets?
I love that this blends Lego bricks, modern gaming (Dimensions levels) and retro gaming (the Midway gallery) in a way that is approachable and enjoyable for kids, teens, and adults and parents. With the inclusion of so many games as well as the dedicated design of the product, this ‘pack’ seems particularly special. Was that part of the design goal?
(Kinda outside the box, but related)
What did you think of the book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, and did it have any significance or inspiration for the project at all?
Are they the full classic arcade games, or “Legoified” versions?
When working on the project, how excited were you to be Legofying these classic games?
What is your favorite game in the level pack and/or real life?
Was there anything you wished to include but couldn’t?
How satisfied are you with the outcome?
What was by far your most favorite game to add into the pack, and how do you think the children will respond to the pack. Do you think kids will get it for themselves or will the adults get it so their “kids” can play.
Did you have any involvement in what the overall pack included, and If so what did you help get implemented (Any of the cabinet Printing? or Licensing?)
What are the names of all 24 games included in the pack?
What is the adventure world like is it a big mashup of all the Midway games or are there seperate sections for all of them?
Will you be able to use any vehicle or gadget in the arcade games as well as characters?
Will the bricks be printed or stickers?
Have you been working on the pack since the game came out, or was it made and in the game but just hidden?
