I'm sorry. I just wanted to get a baseline up and figured anyone with more info could add to it. I don't have many pics of the inside.

Nothing to apologize for; sometimes stubs are all you can do. I'll look to adding to it later. The place sounds badass as it is, plus just putting it there is a start  |

It's fine as a stub page for now. I can add more to it if you want. By the way, one thing I've pondered is if there should be a category for places like these: should there be one? What would it be? "Arcades in multiplexes"? It would differentiate between ordinary arcades and multiplexes. Or maybe "multiplex" isn't really the right word anyway. i don't thonk that's needed, but maybe a sub-section for children's arcades if you want places like Chuck E Cheese added or Dave and Busters for teens. I didn't think of chuck e cheese type places. should kids arcades be considered? maybe ones that don't have chains and are lower key? |

^Indeed, posts like that are cool. I didn't think of chuck e cheese type places.  I spent a TON of time on that one. And I only entered in like 16 states' worth of locations from here! should kids arcades be considered? ALL arcades deserve inclusion, even crappy ones! |

I added a place from my childhood. arcadepreservation.wikia.com/wiki/Funtime_Pizza_CircusEdit: There is one picture that may require revision. It is exactly how I remember the inside, but it appears to say "Funtime Junction." However, I do think that different sections of the arcade were labeled differently. The only pictures I seem to have inside Funtime pizza are of myself with my cousin at a very early birthday party. I don't think it's appropriate to post children's faces online. Funtime Pizza disappeared a long time ago. So, it's hard to find anything online either. |

There is one picture that may require revision. It is exactly how I remember the inside, but it appears to say "Funtime Junction." That can be referenced in a caption, hence why right now it's totally impossible to do an AstroWorld page, a famous theme park there was here for decades, which there were several different sections of the park that had various themes/names to them. I have no idea what the arcades were called, plus there were four of them. No idea how to incorporate those pages onto the wiki, although I've planned on doing an AstroWorld page for a while now, so at least that can be done, even without the arcades. The only pictures I seem to have inside Funtime pizza are of myself with my cousin at a very early birthday party. I don't think it's appropriate to post children's faces online. They can be blocked out. I have one pic of a place where I took out a phone number or something from a sign in the window. Funtime Pizza disappeared a long time ago. So, it's hard to find anything online either. Hence why I made the wiki! |

I think I was at Funtime Pizza...but I don't have any pictures. Those singing animals were crazy. What I do remember though is they had a game called Feed Big Bertha.

Looks like that guy was pretty good, that dirty enabler Do "controvercial" games like that still exist? I get the impression that people would be offended today about making a woman fat in a game. |

Probably not. There's not much going on in the way of arcade/ticket machines nowadays. I doubt it's worth it financially to have something like that out that could be considered offensive and be taken off locations and shipped back to the manufacturer.
