…was not as soul-deadening as expected.
The money you pay there is for food and entertainment. The food is expensive. The entertainment is not. In fact, the entertainment is ridiculously cheap. All video games are a token, and tokens cost less than one quarter. That’s no big deal for playing skeeball and such, but it also applies to the big video games. Wave Runner is the only I remember by name — but there were about six video games that would have cost a buck a pop anywhere else, that were still less than a quarter.
I may go there on my own sometime, ignore the food, and just play video games.
We had my son’s 4 year old birthday party there and he talked about it for a month.
Muttrox- if I ever found out you went to Chuck E Cheese by yourself, I’d have to boycott your blog as I wouldn’t be able to respect you in the morning. 🙂
Interesting to note that Chuck E. Cheese was founded by Nolan Bushnell, the same guy who founded Atari…..I believe the story is that Warner Communications (I think this was pre-Time Warner) bought Atari, Bushnell ‘invented’ the Chuck E. Cheese concept while there and then took it with him when they parted company (happily for both sides I thing).
Seems somewhat logical therefore that the games should be cheap there….but it seems like more of them should have black rubber joysticks with a single red button…..
