Welcome to the NEW Home of the Southern California Classic Collectors!
We are SC3, "Southern California Classic Collectors," your local Classic game collector's group serving the Metropolitan Los Angeles, San Diego and Inland Empire areas. We invite all gamers to our meetings to play, trade, show off your precious rares to an appreciative audience, or just to be amongst those who beat you to that Vectrex at one of the local flea markets a few months back. Whether you're looking for your first 2600, or an Intellivision Computer Module, or just want to play a few games of Tempest, we'd like to see you there!

SC3 Braves Extreme Temperatures, Vicious Hornets for Sept. 26 Arcade Party
Temperatures in excess of 100 degrees weren't enough to keep some 150 gamers from descending on Claremont for the September 26th SC3 bash. This event presented its share of challenges -- the heat, botched cake orders... and hornets. But somehow we got everything together and assembled a party featuring 30 classic coin-ops, more home consoles than ever before, the debut of the SC3 webcam, and a new world record score at Atari 2600 Galaxian. Read all about it in our latest meeting recap.
Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for April 2010, but details are very indefinite at this point. Watch the Future Meeting Page or the SC3 Forum for details as they become available.
SC3's 10th Anniversary Party Draws Record Crowds; Hot Sauce Flows Freely
The April 25th meeting was by far the most successful event in SC3's 10-year history! Over 140 attendees made the trek to Claremont, where they got to experience over 600 Rock Band songs, rare arcade games including The Act, the ChaseTheChuckwagon.com raffle of vintage console goodness, game trading, movies, pizza, Rickey's famous hot sauce (courtesy of Pac-Man champ Billy Mitchell) and much, much more! Something was different about this event. We had media coverage (thanks Coin-Op.tv!). We had corporate donations, including posters from Twin Galaxies, hot sauce from Mr. Mitchell, and swag from Peak Products, makers of deluxe Rock Band peripherals. We had more attendees and more excitement than ever before. We've been around for a decade, but it seems like we've just gotten started! Be sure to read our event recap.
Our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Late September, 2009. We're thinking it will be the last week of the month, but nothing is set in stone yet. Watch the Future Meeting Page or the SC3 Forum for details as they become available. More than likely, the schedule will be the same as prior events: the party will last from 6:00 p.m. until "sometime after midnight" at the normal location: Steve Hertz's place in Claremont. We hope to see you there!
