So my brother-in-law asks my wife and I to join him and the kids for a night out on the town at Chuck E Cheese. His wife was out of town to see her folks, so we thought why not.
We got into the resturant/child factory/whatever the hell you want to call it and had to wait a good 20 minutes just to get a table. I felt like I was at Carrabba's. So we sit down and order a pizza, tokens, and drinks. Pizza came out fast and wasn't half bad for what it was.
Although I was shocked to see that there were actually a few decent games.
Pretty cool Mario Kart 2 kart game. Not sure if this is the one released alongside Mario Kart Double Dash, or something else different. Had Namco characters and all new tracks. Powerups were different as well. Either way a fun game.
Decent little Aliens gun game:
Up until this point, it was cool seeing the others games, but nothing prepared me for the goodness I saw next:

The full Afterburner Climax machine.
I probably looked like a tool sitting in this machine, but it was worth it. Game played great. On top of that it was just 1 quarter to play. Brought me back to my old Galaxy Force 2 days.
All and all not too bad of a time. Although nothing will top Showbiz in all its' greatness, this wasn't half bad.
The worst part about it all is Chuck E Cheese is pretty much the last place in town that gets newer arcade game from 2005 and on. Sure you've got the pool halls and bars that have a few machines, but even they have been taken over by Golf Tee (I hate that game). It's a sad day when you can honestly say Chuck E Cheese has the best arcade in town.
Anyone got Doc Brown's cell? I need a warp back to 1992 already.
