Forgive me if this is common knowledge, as I have never seen this machine until 2 days ago. I took the kids out to Space Aliens for dinner on Saturday and I saw it when we went into the gameroom. Looks pretty sweet if you ask me. This game room also has the modern sit-down Sea Wolf. I kinda like that the classics are getting re-imagined and rebooted for redemption cades. Kinda gives you the feeling these modern designers are keeping the spirit of the classics alive for future generations.

I've never heard of Space Aliens and just looked it up. It seems kind of cool.

Is that what Pizza Planet in Toy Story was modeled after, or vice versa? Do they have a crane machine (The Claw) where you can win squeaky alien toys?

Nope. They do have a crane where you can win rubber balls with alien faces on them though. If the food was better, we'd go here a lot more often. I love going for the atmosphere and the game room, but the food really isn't that good. They have a pretty sweet bar for the adults as well. Everything sticks with the Alien Theme. Bar from Mars, Galaxy Games, the party room is called Area 51, etc. Here's a pic of one of the bathrooms:

Oh I see. So typical restaurant/bar/arcade. Cool Space Invaders art on the wall, but any classic arcade games in the game room? I'm guessing no. Just like D&B out here.

Only if you call Skee Ball, Area 51 and Cruisin' World classics. They do have a mini rocket motion ride, the old timed basketball hoop game, the modern Sea Wolf, this Frogger, several coin pushers and redemption machines, and all their ticket muncher/ counter machines use classic Pac Man sounds.

I would go more often too, just like you said, if the food was better and I would add the prices were cheaper. Below average food at above average prices = no go for me. I like the idea and the atmosphere, but no classics to be found or even 90's non-classics for that matter . The Space Aliens in Mounds View, MN just closed too.
 
I think those mirrors are sweet. I went to a Chucke E Cheese a week or so ago for a b-day party and saw the Sea Wolf you are talking about. It was actually kind of cool for a new game. And I agree it seems like some of the designers are showing their roots with some of these new intros, or re-intros depending on how you look at it. I have some bezels and pin back glasses I have been thinking about doing some arcade art type stuff with. If I did not have a mirror up in the basement already, I would put one of those SI bezel, mirror backed frames up for sure.
 
What kind of shitty food is on the menu? Seems a place like that should be a slam dunk?

Thats a cool looking Frogger. Me likey.

Ribs, steak, pizza, burgers. None of them taste very good. The best thing they offer is their french fries in a cone with your choice of dipping sauces. As I am trying not to be a fat fuck, I need to refrain from eating that garbage. I don't know, everything they serve seems fake or processed or something.
