Video arcades, with a vast array of
different arcade games offered in one place, began to appear, and businesses such as Chuck E. Cheese's (founded 1978) and Dave & Buster's (founded 1982) sprang up to
cater to
different age groups within the video game market, while also offering other forms of entertainment.
While the courses
cater to two
different age groups and two
different needs, the objective is the same: for every licensed and insured motorist to keep their driving records clean, their insurance premiums low, and their lives on the road safe.
