I thought for my first post I would say hello in this introductions forum. First let me quickly explain my user name. A "supergun" is a game system that allows you to play arcade game mother boards on your tv instead of having the whole cabinet. I also collect full-size machines now, but started out just collecting and playing the mother boards back in 1999. Anyway, we all now that good games (and pizza) go hand in hand with Showbiz Pizza and CEC and the local Showbiz in Flint, MI is where I played many games as a youngster. Being that I was so young at the time, I had largely forgotten about going to Showbiz. The only thing that confirmed I had been there was an old game token I somehow still had. A friend of mine who also collects games happened to ask me if I remember going to Showbiz and he started showing me old clips of the RAE on youtube. I can recall going to this place and seeing CEC there, but I don't know if it was before concept unification took place or not. If I understand things correctly, there was a time you could see Chuck E Cheese at Showbiz restauarants with the RAE, so who knows if that was the case or if my mind has meshed together my early and later visits. Anyone else go to the Flint, MI location when it was a Showbiz? Any idea when they did a complete change to CEC? I'd just also like to say how much fun it's been browsing the site and remembering things after all these years! :bb_happy2:
