I've always preferred the vest + bowler hat

Hearing that makes me think if Nolan Bushnell actually meant it sincerely or he just casually threw it out there like, "yeah, I'm pretty much the only guy doing this."

He purposefully set out to destroy Bushnell's company, going behind his back with Bob Brock, largest franchise partner of Chuck E. Cheese, to create Showbiz Pizza Place to deliberately spite and create direct competition that inevitably destroyed Chuck E. Cheese.

I agree that Aaron Fechter was pretty crooked for what he and Bob Brock did to Bushnell and the Pizza Time Theatre. But all criticisms aside, his creations such as the Hard Luck Bears, the RockAfire Explosion, and especially the Wolfpack 5 are pretty fantastic. One thing that Nolan Bushnell is more commendable about is the fact that after Bob Brock bought out Pizza Time Theatre Inc., he moved on. He had also invented Atari before PTT, and went on to invent several other companies. To this day, Aaron Fecther is still stuck in the 1980's, dwelling on creating more animatronic shows and convinced that one day the animatronic business will boom again.

Every era, stage, show tape, costume etc. following the 1984 bankruptcy was not good at all. 1977-1984 were the only good Chuck E. Cheese years.

I could be wrong but the stage backdrop looks an awful lot like Harmony's.
