I can't say I'm a huge fan of CEC (I hate screaming wild children who aren't my own) but I do have to say the handful that I've frequented in the past few years were relatively clean, well run and the games seemed to work well for the most part. My kids certainly loved going to them.

Now when I was 12, CEC was the coolest place on Earth short of Disneyland perhaps.

We had a huge one here in panama city, and i was horrible as a kid there i had a b-day party there when the "live band of robots" started smoking and malfunctioning! It recently got closed (i think by the health dept) and was torn down and developed into a gas station!

If you try, you should definitely be arrested.

Never had a CEC in my area until I was way too old to be going to them, therefore I've never been in one.  For me, the pizza place as a kid was Pizza Hut.  I remember the restaurants being somewhat dark, but having a few arcade games in the corners and pizza + breadsticks that seemed like the best pizza on earth.  For some reason I stopped going to them and then grew up and went away to college, etc.

The other week I saw that the one I went to when I was a kid and loved going to was still open.  So a buddy of mine and myself went there during the lunch break at work.  It was the most horrific thing I've ever seen.  The place had gotten so ghetto and white-trash filled that I felt ill just being in there.  "Women" with 5 kids all in diapers and dirty shirts going to the buffet and basically taking an entire pizza back with them.  300+ pound women wearing clothes that are too small and showing WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much for a woman of that size.  Guys in there wearing wife beaters and just looking as if they took a massive methamphetamine hit, beat their wife, molested one of their three daughters, then came to Pizza Hut to shut them up.  It was appalling.  The "waitresses" looked bothered that someone showed up, and it just completely destroyed all good memories I had of the place.  They should just tear it down now.   :'(

I went to CEC only once when I was a kid (for some other kids Bday). I think all I did was play Skeeball there.

The big amusment place for me was a place called "Bear right" (with a bear as a mascot) in concord NH.  I dont know if this was a franchise or a single place, but it was cool. Awesome pizza, a few small shops (glass elevators even). The entire basement was an arcade :D Unfortunetly I was a kid so I only remember the pizza, glass elevators and playing skeeball and the robocop game... (Maybe that is all I did?)
