Excellent Idea. Even better: since there is a total of 8 computers, all in a row, next to each other, I can make Sonic run across ALL the screens, jumping from one to the other. I wonder about the complexity of such an easter egg, but it would be a cool challenge.... reps...

BTW, I couldn't follow this thread yesterday because I got busy.

You need Crono running from opposite direction. They meet in the middle, and fight.

Better yet, make each computer "summon" a character, and have them meet at middle.
Crono vs everyone (for reference 😛)
 
How about using a key series to change the text of any of the pop ups?

Example - if there is a logon window 'please check your user id or password and try again' after the easter egg could be something like 'Fool, don't you know who the heck you are? You can't even remember you pets name? Jeez.'

So, just use the resource capabilities and build a lang. like table to change the string tables on the easter egg key.

edit - you could also give them personalities. I prefer a "Mr. T" ... "I pitty the fool who does not how to log in."

Will the store do anything besides having having kiosks? Coffee? Pastries? Pizza? What state is it located in?

To come up wit ha clever easter egg, it should be relevant.

Also, how com0plicatd will this thing be? Can you code pong into it or do you want a certain set of keystrokes to do something short and simple?

Sicne I know little. Have eggs floating around the screen after you enter a certain sequence. You job is to smash the eggs with a frying pan. Depending on how sick you friend is, if you don't hit the eggs on time, they hatch and then you have to smash the chickens with a rabbit

The business also offers international phone calls, money transfer, and computer repair.

BTW, I actually already included a gif of the technoviking which appears every time a user clicks on a very small button on one side of the screen, but I am not satisfied with such an easter egg.
