Has Bushnell done anything big since starting Chuck E. Cheese? Or is he just floating around, occasionally talking about games?

He dated Kathy Griffin for a while. Serious.

Nevermind, that was Steve Wosniak. Whoops.

it might be now, but it did go bankrupt at one point

Yeah, it did. The current Chuck E. Cheese is actually a direct continuation of Showbiz Pizza [a Chuck E. Cheese off-shoot that purchased the franchise after its bankruptcy in 1984].

I wonder why anyone but a pedophile would know that. :-\

I went to Showbiz Pizza a lot when I was a kid. Plus, I know about this magical invention called "Wikipedia". :patel

Post by: Sho Nuff on October 12, 2011, 01:03:04 AM: Chuck E Cheese was the fuckin shit. Ball pits, secret mazes underneath the robot stage and mountains of tokens to play Rolling Thunder with. Dream come true for kids...and any parent's nightmare. Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Bender for letting us run rampant in that awesome electronic romper room

Post by: Himu on October 12, 2011, 03:55:35 AM: I went to Chuck E. Cheese as a kid. It got to a point where every 7 year olds birthday party was at Chuck E. Cheese. Then Discovery Zone opened up a year later and massacred it.

DZ is the place to be, bitches.

Post by: benjipwns on October 12, 2011, 05:36:23 AM: I heard terrible, terrible horrible things occurred at our Discovery Zone.

And I don't mean the standard orgy in the ballpit, massive drug intake aspect. I assume that was required.
