    I believe most of the CEC places quit using tokens and went with a credit card type thing you could load money on and unload tickets off of to trade for prizes. The original tokens are getting harder to find in decent condition and there are a few varieties that are more difficult to find.

    Be creative, come up with a SCD design and become a private minter of tokens. Peace Roy

    While I enjoyed it as a kid, isn't it just a place where parents go to fist fight now?

    A friend of mines little ones used to mispronounce the name. They used to call it "Chunky Cheese".

    I took my daughter to chuck e cheese a few years ago... could not believe how expensive and terrible it had become. You had to buy the buffet and a certain amount of game credits. Barely any pizza on the buffet.. which I was disappointed at. The game credit was for all you could play for 30 minutes or something like that. Most games gave tickets.. a few gave tokens to trade for tickets. I knew the tickets barely amounted to anything at trade in time, so I played the games for tokens, and walked out of there with as many as I could, haha. I figured they would be worth slightly more than the cheap toys you could buy with the tickets.

    I thought it was called Showbiz Pizza Place in the 80's?

    In 1981 our local hangout was fully called,
    "Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theater" or "Chucky's" for short

    A long time ago, when I was a child, I did go to a birthday party and won a bunch of tickets via arcade games there. Those tickets were cashed in for a plastic toy mini car with Chucky on there. I still have it in Mint Condition. Glad I saved it. I guess it could be a collector's item now.

    You beat me to it! The epic fights are the first and only thing I associate with Chuck E Cheese (I've never been to one).
