Cheese in high school (yeah...I know...) and believe me, they'd sell the children to make money if they were allowed. They make a ridiculous profit off those tokens. I'm just amazed there are still locations with cabinets that old, the one I worked at only had Street Fighter, racing cabs, and a firefighter one with a giant hose control. The game with the Sea-doos you sit on (I don't remember the name) were the most popular. Good pizza, though. |

It's no wonder arcade business are on their last thread. |

My chuck e cheese is still good but its seen better days. used to have adult size air hockey and like 5 pins (including an addams family) and now it has only a simpsons pin. I think tmnt is required in a chuck e cheese by law. |

Arcade of the new age is quite different than the good old time. Kids nowadays (including mine) just really don't spend much time trying to figure things out, so they pass from machine to machine within minutes. Games that require skill and patient don't work well for modern kids anymore. Can't remember the last time any of my neice or nephew ever spend any time to finish game. It's a sad world now... |

...it's a by-product of having a bizillion things shoved at them continually from every direction. Have you watched kid shows lately? Not baby show...but like 5-10 year old kid shows? ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- is going on all the time...and from every direction...non-stop and at 5 million words/thoughts per second. No wonder kids have a hard time focusing on one thing anymore. BTW: You can't go in to CC around here without a kid. They will kick your ass out or not even let you in. Damn scumbag pedo's have screwed that one up. |
