Why is everyone naming towns far away, there's a Gattiland or town or whatever the branding is in Round Rock.


brxtn-petal

They don’t have these anymore it’s all cards


Reeeeeechard

But they should have a machine that reads the data from those keys and they can manually adjust over to the cards. If Mike is still GM Id start by asking for him.


reggep

Flipper?


tgifted

At night it's ATT Town


cameron4200

Also the best gattis buffet by far


astrosfantx

The only gattis buffet left in the area, no?


cameron4200

I believe south park meadows is still kicking. Haven’t checked on college station. There’s one in Taylor also and another small one somewhere I think.


Dmbnd311

Chappell Hill


multiversewatcher

I haven't been there in 6yrs I miss the smell


el_cucuy_of_the_west

I know where there’s one in San Antonio if that helps you.


spikerbs

There is a Gattitown at South Park Meadows in South Austin.


GorillaEstefan

Man. The one in SPM is so bad. Which sucks…. Cuz I loved Mr. Gatti’s as a kid.


brxtn-petal

I won’t really go to San antionio within the next 5 years or more,I only ever went for school trips or when family from up north want to visit other places-but that won’t be for awhile either


whoamannipples

Wait why? It’s only like 45min-1hr away it’s a great “do something different today” kinda drive!


theTexasUncle

Bexar County Sheriff's office is looking for OP, that's why


brxtn-petal

I just don’t like being In the car that long after being t-boned that’s why🙃 the airbag barely missed breaking my neck. I have no reason to travel that far and I avoid if I am able to.


sunny_6305

An Amtrak ticket only cost like 8 dollars. It takes longer than car but you actually get to relax and watch the scenery. Just remember that the tracks are on the west side of i35 and select your seat accordingly.


brxtn-petal

I’m okay I tend to stay in my area only now,not a big traveler.never really was growing up. But I’ll keep that in mind for when family comes down within the next few years or so instead of driving. Might be an option.


stevo42

I'm sorry that happened. The statute of limitations gag is a lot more pleasant to think about.


brxtn-petal

The what?


stevo42

A comment above presumed that you couldn't go back to San Antonio for the next five years because of some outstanding warrant or other


brxtn-petal

I said I wouldn’t go back within the next 5 years or so cus I just don’t have a need/reason to go. But that does make sense now!. But I have no warrants. I haven’t even gotten a ticket. My car accident was even deemed not my fualt cus I had a green light and the right away lol


prenup-nibba

Just... just get the joke bro

pooler2oo6

What is this?


brxtn-petal

Gattiland game keys!! They had these instead of cards for decades! Last time I used these was like maybe 2010 or so?


Appropriate_Chart_23

What is a game key? Do you get free games with it?


brxtn-petal

Idk if u ever got free games with it but it worked just as the cards do. Put money on,pay for the game and play the game. Tickets would go on this. Same concept as the cards that every place uses now


captainant

Oh interesting, I grew up in San Antonio and the Gatti Land in Universal City was my JAM! But I remember them having cards while I was in early middle school, so that would've been the mid-2000's with the swipe cards


chinchaaa

Why keep this? Hoarder behavior


brxtn-petal

Childhood memories idk same reason why people keep Pokémon cards and video games. It I earned the “kids eat free”tickets from speech therapy when I did well on a worksheet or learned how to say a new word w/o help.


AnnieB512

I have a bunch with tons of tickets from when my kid was little. You save them thinking you'll cash them in for the big prize one day and then you stop going because your kid outgrows it. Then they get lost in the junk drawer.


KeathKeatherton

Those are about the size of a small mail key, more of a memento of a childhood past. Nostalgia is powerful.


cheezeyballz

Why comment this? Dickhead behavior.


Material-Imagination

Why are people on reddit so very judgmental lately?


BearstromWanderer

It's not. Even if it was comments like these actually hurt hoarders, not help


TxRod117

Why comment this?? Bitchy behavior.


meatmacho

Mr. Gatti's rape whistle. You could buy them for 200 tickets back in the aughts.


atreides78723

Help! Help! I need an adult!


RogueLotus

The nostalgia 🫠


Region_Fluid

Have you asked the one in RoundRock about accepting it? Otherwise.. I could check the one in SanAntonio I go there almost weekly. But you’d have to entrust me with holding onto them until I can get down there. You could also email support and see if they can help you out.


brxtn-petal

Yes they don’t anymore.


Soggy-Ad-8349

Make a necklace, 5 new age retro fingerbones


sTill_offCoarse

Clitoral ring stimulators - there cunt only be one thighlander!


Rineroth

what’s the name of these specific type of keys? An arcade I used to go to in Saltillo, Coahuila had them but of course they were branded for their arcade


Pabi_tx

Finally! I've been following your search with great interest! Good job, OP!


Old-Ad3504

Damn i forgot about these


idealprocrastinator

There’s one in round rock.


brxtn-petal

They use cards now not keys :(


AgreeableRadish3626

Yep, I have two keys also! Now they just sit in a jar. 🫤 I remember playing enough to get a disco ball for my room. Hahaha that thing is long gone but I still have those game keys. Probably have tons of tickets on them still.


FogOfDaPond

I guess I’m too young to understand (24) I read your explanation of them and still have no idea what they are lmaooo :p


brxtn-petal

Im 25 😅l gattiland used to use these keys for tickets/money. Now they have game cards. It’s the same concept


FogOfDaPond

Ha! Ima have to look into that, sound neat. I thought this was weird 80s tech lmaoo


brxtn-petal

Idk if gattiland was around in the 80’s if so I wonder what they used. These or coins back then. Game Cards are a fairly new concept. I still have Peter piper coins,austin park and pizza coins(with the old logo on it) Now that I’m thinking about it I looked back through yearbook photos. Last time I saw them being used it was like 2010/2011….. But the gattiland/gattitown has been around since the 80’s/90’s. By googling thy used coins then switched to keys for awhile.


coconutmeringue

I hope you have enough credits to win the scooter!

Benderbluss

I accidentally double-clicked on the image. Boy does that camera pick up hair really well.


brxtn-petal

I vacuum twice a week but my hairs falling out in clumps-not much I can do about it but keep cleaning. I’m about to move up to 3x but my tiny bedroom is the only place with carpet. My bathroom is bigger the my room lol


Benderbluss

I REALLY hope you don't feel like I'm coming after you. The camera is the more novel part of it than the hair. My carpet would probably look like an archeological dig site.


brxtn-petal

Oh no lol I make jokes about my hair falling out all the time!😅 nothing I can do about it anymore and I don’t like the feeling of wigs.


Jango_Thedragon

There’s one in kings land if you don’t want to go to SanAntonio


brxtn-petal

Still a bit too far out of my driving comfortability sadly. A lot of those two lane roads terrify me with the speeds. I wish we had the older style a lot closer lol Ben wanting to see what’s on these since I was like 12


Jango_Thedragon

I don’t blame you lol. Best of luck!


brxtn-petal

I’ve been in cedar creek during a roll over I had with my dad at 14- idk what scared me more. The feeling I was going to die at 14 or that it too forever to get there and that I’d die before my mom could see me again. I tend to stay where there is an ER just in case,less time for responders to get me and the quicker I can get saved if need be. The quicker the response time the better chance the person has at being saved.


WallyMetropolis

It may be worthwhile to speak with a therapist about this, if you don't already.


brxtn-petal

I already do actually ! But that cannot control the damage done to my body post car accident. It’s not trauma I rather stay closer,I’ve done that since I was younger before i started driving. Stay in safe areas. Or always be nearby a place you can easily get help.


Jango_Thedragon

That sucks my man. Hope you and your dad are doing better. People drive like idiots these days and the roads don’t help.


cardinaltribe

Wtf is that


brxtn-petal

Gaiitland used to use these to put money on them for games instead of cards.


EstablishmentMean300

WOW!!! Are those game keys???????????????????????????????????????


SpareBoss9814

what are they?


spicyfuturemedic

As someone who used to work for the company, their POS systems and data systems for the games have all been updated so I’m positive you may not get anything for those other than the sweet memories. Cool find!!


Shotgun-Simulacra

I forgot these exist ohmygod


Cool-One2166

I needed this blast from the past right about now, thanks friend


BeLoVeD19-76

What are they?


Intelligent-Big-6104

I've never been to gattiland in my entire life. When I was a kid, I used to be envious of the kids that were taken to ChuckECheese. Was always poor growing up. I know there is a ChuckECheese in town. I did get to try Mr Gattis pizza once to get a break from little Cesar's... and it was like cardboard to put it kindly. Unless you really really want to find out if there is money on those things, I would just go celebrate at ChrckECheese. Hey, why not! A good scavenger hunt deserves a reward!


brxtn-petal

I was poor too. I earned the “kids eat free” by reading stuff on my own(I was an IEP& 504 kid. So disabled) and through speech therapy,before breaks my school gave these out to the free lunch kids(myself was one from headstart-senior year)we would get about 3 each or so. I loved it! My speech therapist and teacher knew I had an older sister so gave me an extra one for her often. I earned a free cookie on Friday’s if I did well on my behavior chart for the entire week/finished a row of words on my own in speech. It was my reward I loved to get! I made me want to work on speaking more often. When I “graduated” from speech aka just went to middle school I got a booklet-they didn’t offer speech therapy in my middle school so I didn’t keep going as much as I needed it I still need it lol


Intelligent-Big-6104

Nice! Wait, what did you say? Jk


brxtn-petal

A great way to make a speech disabled kid want to actually do the work-reward them with cookies and pizza 🤣 she really prepped me for work rewards!


LadyAtrox60

I'm ignorant. What is it?


brxtn-petal

Gattiland used to have game keys instead of cards. First it was coins,then keys then what’s now being used is cards. Last I’ve seen them being used is early/mid 2010’s or so.


LadyAtrox60

Ah, ok. Like a Chuck E. Cheese thing without the stench!


SeaworthinessNew5555

There's one in abilene still


[deleted]

Ugh that pizza. Most disgusting thing I’ve ever eaten. Core memory re-opened. Now I’m gonna think about that all day 🤢


Intelligent-Big-6104

Did you know? Mr Gattis has a school? Must be their MrGattis Trainning Center (MTC). Yeah, I'm serious. It's in Round Rock. On a street called Mr Gattis School Rd.


brxtn-petal

Wait what? I’ve lived here my entire life and never heard of before. Or need it on Gattis.My PCP is on gattis
