The following listed are the cabaret, lounge, and misc. tapes.  
== Cabaret, Lounge, and Other Showtapes ==
Alongside the main animatronic show, other rooms in the restaurant would host additional characters, playing their own individual showtapes. They were slowly phased out between the mid 1980s through the mid-late '90s as Showbiz Pizza Time (Now known as CEC Entertainment) slowly phased out the Pizza Time Theater Concept for the then more modern version of Chuck E. Cheese.

==Fate==
It is rumored that most showtapes were recycled somewhere or destroyed due to them being labeled as obsolete. However, collectors have archived as many tapes as possible.


It is unknown if any of the lost ones will ever be uncovered due to their unknown fate.
==Media Recovery:==
Due to the showtapes only ever being owned by the store, along with becoming obsolete once the next tape was sent in, most original tape copies are lost or destroyed. Tapes are mostly found in possession of a former employee (usually the technician) after their location has shut down. This is usually either the last showtape before closure or all tapes owned throughout the store's use. This makes older tapes increasingly harder to find. Due to all of this it's is unknown if any of the lost ones will ever be uncovered due to their unknown fate. Some showtapes have also turned up on eBay though.

Example of a showtape.

Status: Partially Lost

Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre is a restaurant chain started in 1977.

At Pizza Time Theater (as well as the current incarnation Chuck E. Cheese's) and any other animatronic restaurant chain, the programming for the characters, the lighting effects, video footage (If the show has a video monitor that goes along with it), and the show's audio were stored on showtapes (or as of recent showdisc).

These usually contained skits and/or songs sung by the animatronic characters on stage.

The following listed are CECPTT main stage showtapes, their dates release and both audio and animatronic signal status.

Cabaret, Lounge, and Other Showtapes

Alongside the main animatronic show, other rooms in the restaurant would host additional characters, playing their own individual showtapes. They were slowly phased out between the mid 1980s through the mid-late '90s as Showbiz Pizza Time (Now known as CEC Entertainment) slowly phased out the Pizza Time Theater Concept for the then more modern version of Chuck E. Cheese.

Media Recovery:

Due to the showtapes only ever being owned by the store, along with becoming obsolete once the next tape was sent in, most original tape copies are lost or destroyed. Tapes are mostly found in possession of a former employee (usually the technician) after their location has shut down. This is usually either the last showtape before closure or all tapes owned throughout the store's use. This makes older tapes increasingly harder to find. Due to all of this it's is unknown if any of the lost ones will ever be uncovered due to their unknown fate. Some showtapes have also turned up on eBay though.

A YouTube channel by the name of Pizza Time Theatre has uploaded a majority of Pizza Time Theater's library of showtapes. Four other YouTube channels The SPT Archives, Pizzacam3, Pizza Time Archive, and occasionally Pasq has also uploaded a lot of Pizza Time Theater's library of showtapes. Showbiz Pizza.com's official internet radio station Radio Showbiz also ever so often play segments of Pizza Time Theater showtape and also has two scheduled block decided to them. One called Pizza Time Tuesday (dedicated to the Main showptapes) and One called Lounging in the Cabaret (dedicated to Lounge and Cabaret showtapes) both of which aired on Tuesdays and Thursdays respectively. Just about all found Pizza Time Theater Shows are available to the public, and to this day, remain that way.
