I worked at DFWs last CEC store in Arlington....Jul came in one night and put a GIANT picture replica of CEC done by artist Leroy Neiman...the clear coat was aawful...she was pissed, but from a distance it looked alright. I should have took photos back then.
@prestopd1 Well they still have that giant Leroypic at Arlington man... It's in the back now in that old "Training Center" area off to the side of the tech room... I got pictures of that and the other art still back there in 2009.
@prestopd1 Yeah and Tom Ward's the only guy stil there... he like either still does the tech support stuff or he designs the gameroom layouts one of those things...
at 36sec..on the telephone ...we see Tom Ward...I know Tom is his 1st name for sure. He was the store Tech in Arlington Tx...he was promoted to home office before Farsheed if my memory is correct....Tom may still be at CEC
This was really cool -- thanks for posting this insider video. I miss the old Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theater I used to go to as a kid in Costa Mesa, California in the early 80s -- that closed long ago and they put in a crappy new-style mini location nearby. It's great to see the classic old place as Nolan Bushnell envisioned it in your videos (and cec0011's). I look forward to checking more of 'em out.
Yeah, but damn look how free they were with the Dept. back then 8 or 9 in the Dept. and a new show every 3 months not to mention the live shows...you'd have been alot busier :)

Although I'm certain the data stream is nothing they CREATED... The program itself is called Cyberstar...
