                              EXHIBIT "A"

                    RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE


$15,000,000                                                            
                                                         Dallas, Texas
                                                        August 1, 1996


         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, SHOWBIZ PIZZA TIME, INC., a
Kansas corporation ("Company"), hereby unconditionally promises to pay
to the order of BANK ONE, TEXAS, N.A. ("Bank One") at the office of Bank
One or any successor, currently located at 1717 Main Street, Dallas,
Texas 75201, on June 15, 1998 (or on any annual anniversary thereof
agreed to in writing by Bank One and the Company), in lawful money of
the United States of America and immediately available funds, an amount
equal to the lesser of (a) FIFTEEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($15,000,000.00), or (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
Revolving Credit Loans made by Bank One to the Company pursuant to
Section 2.1 of the Loan Agreement, dated as of June 27, 1995, between
Bank One and the Company (as amended, modified or supplemented from time
to time in accordance with its terms, the "Loan Agreement").

         The Company further promises to pay interest (computed on the basis
of a 365-day year for the actual days elapsed) in like money on the
unpaid principal balance of this Note from time to time outstanding at
the annual rates provided in the Loan Agreement.  Interest shall be
payable at the times and in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement.

         All Revolving Credit Loans made by Bank One pursuant to Section 2.1
of the Loan Agreement and all payments of the principal thereof shall be
endorsed by the holder of this Note on the schedule annexed hereto
(including any additional pages such holder may add to such schedule),
which endorsement shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy
of the information so endorsed; provided, however, that the failure of
the holder of this Note to insert any date or amount or other
information on such schedule shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Company to repay any Revolving Credit Loans in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

         On and after the stated or any accelerated maturity hereof, this
Note shall bear interest until paid in full (whether before or after the
occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 9. 1(g) and
9.1(h) of the Loan Agreement) at a rate of 2.5% per annum in excess of
the Prime Rate, payable on demand, but in no event in excess of the
maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.  Such interest
rate shall change when and as the Prime Rate changes.

         This Note is a Revolving Credit Note referred to in the Loan
Agreement, is entitled to the benefits thereof and is subject to
optional and mandatory prepayment, in whole or in part, as provided
therein.  Reference is herein made to the Loan Agreement for the rights
of the holder to accelerate the unpaid balance hereof prior to maturity.

         The Company hereby waives diligence, demand, presentment, protest
and notice of any kind, release, surrender or substitution of security,
or forbearance or other indulgence, without notice.


MODIFICATION AND EXTENSION AGREEMENT - Page 7
-------------------------------------

         This Note and all of the other Loan Documents are intended to be
performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all
applicable usury laws.  If any provision hereof or of any of the other
Loan Documents or the application thereof to any person or circumstance
shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable,
neither the application of such provision to any other person or
circumstance nor the remainder of the instrument in which such provision
is contained shall be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the
greatest extent permitted by law.  It is expressly stipulated and agreed
to be the intent of Bank One at all times to comply with the usury and
other applicable laws now or hereafter governing the interest payable on
the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note.  If the applicable law is ever
revised, repealed or interpreted so as to render usurious any amount
called for under this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or
contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the
Indebtedness evidenced by this Note, or if Bank One's exercise of the
option to accelerate the maturity of this Note, or if any prepayment by
the Company results in the Borrower's having paid any interest in excess
of that permitted by law, then it is the express intent of the Company
and Bank One that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Bank One
be credited on the principal balance of this Note (or, if this Note and
all other Indebtedness arising under or pursuant to the other Loan
Documents have been paid in full, refunded to the Company), and the
provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents immediately be
deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectable hereunder and
thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new
document, so as to comply with the then applicable law, but so as to
permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder
or thereunder.  All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, by the Company for
the use, forbearance, detention, taking, charging, receiving or
reserving of the Indebtedness of the Company to Bank One under this Note
or arising under of pursuant to the other Loan Documents shall, to the
maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness until
payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of
such Indebtedness does not exceed the usury ceiling from time to time in
effect and applicable to such Indebtedness for so long as such
Indebtedness is outstanding.  To the extent federal law permits Bank One
to contract for ' charge, or receive a greater amount of interest, Bank
One will rely upon federal law instead of TEX.  REV.  CIV.  STAT.  ANN. 
Article 5069-1.04, as amended, for the purpose of determining the
maximum rate or amount.  Additionally, to the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.  Bank One may, at its
option and from time to time, implement any other method of computing
the maximum rate under such Article 5069-1.04, as amended, or under
other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to the Company as
provided by applicable law now or hereafter in effect.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan
Documents, it is not the intention of Bank One to accelerate the
maturity of any interest that has accrued at the time of such
acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such
acceleration.

         Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have
the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

         This Note may not be changed, modified, or terminated orally, but
only by an agreement in writing signed by the party to be charged.

         IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS REVOLVING
CREDIT NOTE, COMPANY WAIVES (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) THE RIGHT
TO A TRIAL BY JURY, ALL RIGHTS OF SETOFF AND RIGHTS TO INTERPOSE
COUNTERCLAIMS AND CROSS-CLAIMS (UNLESS SUCH SETOFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR
CROSS-CLAIM COULD NOT, BY REASON OF ANY APPLICABLE FEDERAL OR STATE
PROCEDURAL LAWS, BE INTERPOSED, PLEADED OR ALLEGED IN ANY OTHER ACTION)
AND THE DEFENSES OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND


MODIFICATION AND EXTENSION AGREEMENT - Page 8
------------------------------------

IMPROPER VENUE.  COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE 
JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND OF ANY
FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE DALLAS, TEXAS, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS REVOLVING CREDIT
NOTE.  THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS
OF LAW AND SHALL BE BINDING UPON THE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF COMPANY
AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF BANK ONE AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  If
any term or provision of this Revolving Credit Note shall be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms and
provisions herein shall in no way be affected thereby.

         This Note is restated in accordance with the terms of that certain
Modification and Extension Agreement dated on even date herewith by and
between Company and Bank One to conform the terms of this Note to the
amended definition of "Revolving Credit Commitment' contained in the
Modification and Extension Agreement.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed and delivered this
Note on the date first written above.
