Cheese he would always say Showbiz. I do remember the big ape, however I haven't been there in years and I want to go soooo bad. I don't have any kids. I'm 26. And I'm looking for someone's kid to take so I can go and play and not look like a big a$$ kid, but I hate all my friends kids so I'm not going to waste my time, money or my day on their bad a$$ kids.|||Nolan Bushnell, with the help of developer Al Alcorn, invents the video game 鈥楶ong鈥? Nolan and his partner Ted Dabney are unable to raise venture capital, and are forced to market the game themselves. At age 27 with $500 Bushnell along with Dabney found Atari. Profits at Atari explode over the next few years, and finding no other way to remain competitive in the growing video game market, Bushnell sells Atari to Warner Communications in 1976 for $28 million. During the sale of Atari, Bushnell also signed a 5 year non-competitive agreement. Nolan stayed on as head of Atari, but many of his ideas and pet projects are ignored by his corporate bosses. It is during this time that Atari launches the first Pizza Time Theatre, and the country is introduced to Chuck E. Cheese. The first Chuck E. Cheese鈥檚 Pizza Time Theatre opens in 1977 in San Jose, CA, and was the first restaurant of its kind 鈥?offering a combination of pizza, animated entertainment, and an indoor arcade. The most unique aspect of the Pizza Time Theatre is the animatronic show, which entertains guests who are dining and waiting for orders. This group of life-sized animatronic critters contained the Warblettes, Jasper T. Jowls, Pasqually, Crusty the Cat, and the flagship character Chuck E. Cheese. The name 鈥楥huck E. Cheese鈥?was designed to make a person鈥檚 mouth smile when they said it. ShowBiz Pizza Place opens its doors on March 3, 1980 in Kansas City, MO, and is located in the Antioch shopping center. ShowBiz is very similar to Pizza Time Theatre and uses many supplies and decorations obtained directly from Pizza Time, however there are some key differences. The Wolf Pack 5 show entertains guests every few minutes with a short show throughout the day. Within ShowBiz is also another room which is known as the 鈥榙isco room鈥?and contains a separate Wolfman character. Billy Bob is also introduced at the 1st ShowBiz and exists not on stage as an animated character, but in walk-around character form. Billy Bob is loosely based on a character from Creative鈥檚 Hard Luck Bears animatronic show. At the request of Stan Emerson, president of ShowBiz, Billy Bob is dressed in red and yellow overalls to match the color scheme used by the restaurant. The souring relations between Bushnell and Brock overshadowed by the millions of dollars at stake explode as Brock opens his first restaurant. Bushnell, already on alert, sues Brock and Topeka Inn Management over breach of contract. Brock immediately issues a counter-suit against Bushnell for misrepresentation. The court case begins in March of 1980 and remains pending in the California courts for over 2 years.|||Chuck E Cheese was never Showbiz.
