Am I the only one who remembers "Showbiz Pizza"? They were Chuck E Cheese before Chuck E Cheese was. Or maybe they were owned by the same company? I dunno. It had all the same shit though. Robot bears playing music and shit, tons of arcade games, and a playground complete with ball-pit.
I think I went to it in Chicago back in the mid-eighties. Now its all Chuck, but back then it was Showbiz.
