Thats what my local Chuck E Cheese it like as well.  Whenever I go to one for my neice or nephews birthday, I spend probably 99% of my game playing time on the skeeball machine.

They took the old-school skee-ball machines out of the local Billy Bob's and Chuck-E-Cheeses... :angry: :angry: :angry:. Now they have the crappy short body basketball ones.

Those are the ones our Chuck E Cheese has too, but there is plexi covering all of the opening except about 6" above the ramp, so you can't throw the balls in (and probably so the kids can't just run up and dunk them).

If I ever see an old skeeball machine locally, it is soooo totally going in the garage at my house - pre-approval from the wife already in hand. ;D

You guys think you have it bad, here in the uk it's all Fruit Machines. Blackpool still has a fair few arcades but most of them are 90% fruit machines. The only one i found some retro games in always seems to closed. But through the window i saw 3 space invaders a ROTJ stand up Original cab, a sege turbo and a pole position. One time it will be open and i can go and play... It's so bad i struggled to find a working Daytona Link Up last time i was there which was around this time last year.

Mate I was there 3 weeks ago  :cheers:, it was open after about 6pm on a wednesday night (if it's the one outside the pleasure beach along from Ripley's) ,   10 pence a game , also had a Hyper Sports + Paperboy , one of the Space Invaders is broke  but looks in okay condition (make him an offer ;D) , I saw it during the day and thought it had been shut for years then just by luck passed later on , I was on holiday so not sure of usual times? :dunno
10p a game , great fun mate , keep checking if your local  :cheers:
