I have an incredible story today...

So I was on wplace, looking at around my area, and I saw someone drew Chuck E Cheese and wrote an invite to a Discord server. So I joined it, right. And I just started talking about how I went to Chuck E Cheese in the late 90s as a kid and then later on in the early-mid 00s. I have a really bad memory issues, but one childhood memory I have is when I went to Chuck E Cheese on my birthday and the Chuck E animatronic was sitting behind something. I wanted to see if the animatronic had feet/legs, so I peered over it, and he said "do you mind?" That scared the shit out of me!! It's like he knew I wasn't supposed to be there!

And I find out from people who have encyclopedic knowledge of Chuck E Cheese that only one animatronic could say "do you mind?", and it was a location where I lived during the late 90s. And the chat fucking exploded because I might have seen an exclusive stage set and design of Chuck E that was around for a month. This was in the summer of 1997, since I had a Disney's Hercules themed party. I told my mom, she dug out the scrapbook, and I sent the server some photos with my face edited out.

Guess what. I was at "the" location, the abbreviation is AAM. The photo of me with the mascot Chuck E didn't have his face, but what was shown was an exclusive suit. And they could identify it was that stage by zooming in on a shelf in the background. The chair and tablecloth in other photos are identifiable too.

I was at Montfort and this means a big fucking deal to Chuck E Cheese nerds. I've been getting pinged about it in the last hour and I showed my mom the reactions to the photo I sent, I got 2 friend requests too lol. I think I'm going to have fun here

I'm doing some minor research on Chuck E. Cheese, and I found a cute photo of his prototype that I've never seen before:

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but the precursor to Chuck E. Cheese was Rick Rat. His costume was purchased by Nolan Bushnell (yes, that one) under the impression it was a coyote, until he saw the tail... I don't think the costume was ever used outside of some photos like this one, though. I always wonder if someone still has it somewhere, or if it was destroyed :( I know some super fans have the animatronics that were almost thrown away.

EDIT: I found another photo I've never seen before.

Rick Rat was bought in 1976, and Chuck E. Cheese was established in 1977, but this photo was taken in 1975. Makes me wonder what he was used for before getting bought by Bushnell. I wish I could've met Rick Rat :(
