So, I went to Chuck E Cheese's tonight, and here's my "score." Pretty cool I got years 2005 - 2008, and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the year on the dirty one: 1982!!! I'm throwing these in with my BYOAC pile... |

Pretty cool. Speaking of CEC. is it me or are there alot fewer video games there then there use to be? I mean I know due to consoles, kids wouldn't really play classics as much, but when I went there as a kid a remeber tons of games now that I have gone back with my kids, not so much. I guess it is just a sign of the times. I would think a Dave and Busters type place with more classic games would do well in some city. Make it a quarter to play and supply plenty of beer and I think it would do well. |

Nothing wrong with the last - I thought DZ was pretty cool, as they'd let adults go in, too - but far as I can tell vids just aren't where it's at with Chuckee's. |

I remember back in the day, you could walk into a Chuck E Cheese and play Mortal Kombat... But then, Jack Thompson wrote a book. :P Last time I went to CEC, I was pretty underwhelmed. Most of the games were gimmick machines, and the only real good games were stuff like Star Wars and a few other games. When I want to re live my arcade memories, I go to Smiles Game Center. It's become kind of run down in the last year or two (at least half of the games either eat change or have at least one broken input), but at least they have a huge selection of games I actually want to play. |
