    Ironically that is the company that bought Chuck E. Cheese after it went BK in 1984. They are now known as CEC Entertainment, Inc as they changed their name from Showbiz in the late 1990's. I know this because I worked for Showbiz in 1984 at a place called Celebration Station in Rockford, IL. It is now a Chuck E. Cheese as they changed the name a few years later. The man that founded Chuck E. Cheese is the same guy who founded Atari, hence the video game tie in. His name is Nolan Bushnell. He worked with Robert Brock when they started franchising the Chuck E. Cheese name. Brock eventually left and founded Showbiz.
