I have fond memories of Chuck E Cheese, as a kid I never had a bad time, quite the opposite. Great arcade (they had sega's Thunderblade with the ridiculous hydraulic cockpit, it was amazing), lots of fun, pizza was edible, me and my friends thought the stupid animatronics were fun. Sad to see it have such a bad reputation for fisticuffs and violence now.
The company was actually found by Nolan Bushnell, who is legend.
"Nolan Kay Bushnell (born February 5, 1943) is an American electrical engineer and businessman. He established Atari, Inc. and the Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre chain. Bushnell has been inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame and the Consumer Electronics Association Hall of Fame, received the BAFTA Fellowship and the Nations Restaurant News "Innovator of the Year" award, and was named one of Newsweek's "50 Men Who Changed America." Bushnell has started more than twenty companies and is one of the founding fathers of the video game industry. He is on the board of Anti-Aging Games. In 2012 he founded an educational software company called Brainrush,[4] that is using video game technology in educational software.
Nolan is credited with Bushnell's Law, an aphorism about games "easy to learn and difficult to master" being rewarding.[5] "
