god, Chuck E. Cheese used to kick ass, so did Showbiz. There was a place here in Houston called Pipe Organ Pizza that was the same concept, and also quite awesome.
I blame several things for the downward spiral of the Great Video Game and Pizza Place.
One, cable TV. No one goes out for entertainment anymore Two, the internets. I love the internets, but again.. all that entertainment, right there Three, home game consoles. Why go drop $20 in quarters when you've got better games at home?
The games back when we were kids ROCKED ASS! Dragons Lair (oooh, 50 cents, its GOTTA be good), Spy Hunter, Joust, Zaxxon.. I could go on. Anyway, you get the idea.
Hell yeah, Pipe Organ Pizza! I remember it was right next door to a Remco where we always had to go pay for our rent-to-own furniture. I would always get all excited going into the parking lot, but we'd just pay for our furniture and leave :( Also, Pipe Organ Pizza was where I had my only "cry at the big scary dudes in costumes" moment. I was a pretty tough kid, but I remember that day vividly.
