Have always surfed around the web looking for any nods to an arcade/eatery called Gadgets that was similar to Chuck-E-Cheese but had animatronic Looney Tunes characters. There was one in my local mall in Ocean, NJ. Apparently they were sprinkled throughout the US for a time but I have yet to find any photos on the web at all and very little in the way of information. I recall having a party there at age 7 and playing Crazy Climber, Cliff Hanger, Qix and other games but have very little memory other than a flash photo or 2 in my head.

Would love to see photos someday or own one of their tokens perhaps as I remember being in awe as a child.

I did manage to find a few articles that folks might find interesting about its temporary rise and not so temporary fall as well.

If anyone else has or finds any info or (crosses fingers) pics, please let me know.

Thanks!
