I never heard about CECPTT being bankrupt in 1983-1984 although I noticed in 1985 when Chuck E. Cheese's began teaming up with one time rival ShowBiz Pizza following the SPP/CECPTT merger!

However: Even during the bankruptcy and SPP/CECPTT merger the 3 Chicago area CECPTT locations stayed open until the late 1980's, the Chicago and Hoffman Estates locations became Little Caesar's Family Fun Pizzarea/Caesarland in 1986 - The Hoffman Estates CECPTT/Little Caesar's/Caesarland location today is home to a lazer tag place - while the Waukegan CECPTT became ShowBiz Pizza circa 1988 (but still carried the Chuck E. Cheese show) until it closed for good a few years later.

It was in the news alot here in Dallas. Both stores I went to were really going south fast, particularly the first store that I went to with Harmony and Dolli. Dolli was in pitiful shape but she still was running. Many of the games were trashed out by then and the place in general was run down. That store closed first. The other store that had King closed about a year later.

Capt, where were the PTTs in Dallas? I knew of a PTT in Lake Worth area on Jacksboro Highway just off of 820, and one that was on HWY 80 in West Fort Worth. I never went inside that one. I think they had just opened that one, or had planned to open that one, and then it closed down. Also I went to the Fielder Road store in Arlington.

The Feilder Road store was a PTT and it had King. My former roommate went to it as a kid. I know there was one somewhere off 183 airport freeway not far from the current Irving location. Another was off of Forest Lane somewhere near Harry Hines by the now closed North Town Mall. It was that old run down mall with the water Slide on the roof. That location became either a hardware store or a paint store. THat was the location I saw Harmony Howlette and Dolli in. The other one I know of was by Prestonwood Mall (also now closed) and it was across from the now abandoned Toys R Us. It has been a variety of restaurants since originally being PTT and last I was by there it was a dance club called "Blackberry." It's probably still open. That whole area is mostly boarded up since Prestonwood Mall closed a few years ago.
