“This Is The Man Who Created Chuck E. Cheese” (Nolan Bushnell) — GeekTyrant

That man, however, took things one step further and added a fun zone for children, a somewhat addictive pizza, and beer for parents. It was ahead of its time, and while I don’t think most people would make the connection between modern barcades and Chuck E. Cheese, I’d make the argument this place is the OG barcade, just for people who have kids. Learn more about the business, and its creator Nolan Bushnell in the video below:

Let’s just get this out of the way first: In 2007, James Sun was a contestant on the seventh season of The Apprentice. When he auditioned, he asked the producers why there had never been an Asian male on the show before. He says they essentially told him, “No offense, but Asian males don’t make for good television.”

Rodney Mullen And Daewon Song Made A Video That Changed Skateboarding Forever
