Gaming Restaurant from Creator of Pong - 3.6.05

  Email to a friend



A new restaurant is planned by Nolan K. Bushnell, creator of the Pong video game and Chuck E. Cheese chain of restaurants, which will attempt to mix gaming with eating out.

Diners at the restaurant will be presented with touch-screen monitors at every table and barstool, allowing them to play seventy different types of video and trivia games as they eat:

Video games today "are about social isolation," Mr. Bushnell said. "There needs to be a place that brings a little more balance and brings people together."
[...]
The monitors at the tables will be two-sided, so that two people, or two couples, will be able to play video games against each other. The restaurant will be divided into two sections, one with more casual gaming at the tables and another where games can be organized for large groups, as in bingo halls.

Called the Media Bistro, the new restaurant will open in Los Angeles this autumn.
