Does anyone remember, as I do, the Showbiz Pizza of the early 1980's as an arcade HAVEN??

Yes, I know it became Chuck E Cheese's. I worked in their kitchen in high school. I miss Billy Bob, too. That's besides the point. The point is that the good games are gone, which are only remembered with warm nostalgia.

Yeah...I remember my first time playing a Q-Bert machine there. When Arcades were still dark and noisy and filled wall-to-wall with machines.

Then the cops raided it for drugs and they suddenly opened the floors, added floodlights and ruined it.

It happened. The manager was dealing out of the back door and hiding the loot in the machines. After that, all of the arcades went "light" because they were afraid that people were dealing in the dark corners.
