Chuck E. Cheesy

Computer Space game cabinetLast night I went to Chuck E. Cheese for my nephew's birthday. I had never been before and for my nephew, even a 25-year-old concept is fresh and new again to a 6-year-old and the right TV commercial.

At the time, it seemed prophetic rather then just the odd whim of a frustrated Disney fanatic, but now it has a sort of dated atmosphere, like a cheap kids' Vegas.
