  • Coin-op arcade games
  • Pinball machines

Come celebrate 4/20 in style! SC3's next event is Saturday, April 20, 2024, at Y2Kade in Cerritos, from 4 p.m. to midnight. Y2Kade is a privately-owned arcade featuring MANY coin-op classics from the '70s up through the early 2000s.Most machines are in excellent condition, and there's a few pinball tables too!

SC3 will round out the experience with our usual slew of home consoles that cover the first three-plus decades of video gaming history. We also plan to provide drinks and food in the form of (what else?) pizza. If you prefer to get your own food, please note: Y2Kade is in a business disstrict; there are some restaurants in the vicinity but nothing within walking distance.

RSVPs are not required for this event, although we still appreciate your donations. Y2Kade's address is:

17411 Studebaker Rd., Unit B., Cerritos CA 90703

Online map services may show this address as "Lotus Prepared By Claudius," a neighboring business.

You should be able to park along the nearby streets named "Business Circle."

Note: we know a lot of you come to SC3 for the raffle, but due to scheduling issues our raffle host is unable to make it this time. Sorry about that. People are still encouraged to bring their trade goods however!

We hope to see you on April 20! Fix your watchful eye to this site and our Facebook page for future announcements.


Our Last Event: Invading Y2Kade!

Since we regrettably had to cancel our fall 2023 party due to unforeseen circumstances, our last event was back on Saturday, April 22, 2023 – which marked SC3's debut at Y2Kade Jim, the Y2Kade owner, has been routinely opening this wonderland to the public and turned to SC3 to help get the word out. So, on what felt like the hottest day of the year so far, we carted truckloads of CRT monitors and vintage consoles to Cerritos for the gaming enjoyment of over 100 attendees. And there were tacos. Read all about it in our April 22 writeup. And be sure to check out Y2Kade's Facebook page to learn when it'll be open next!

Who Is SC3, Exactly?

If you aren't familiar with SC3, we're just a friendly group of videogame enthusiasts who like nothing better than to get together to talk, trade, and play games. We've got a soft spot for games from the "classic" days of the early 1980s, but we love games of all eras, from Pong to PlayStation 5. If you love videogames, you're welcome to attend!

SC3 has made a point of keeping our meetings relaxed and informal, but the atmosphere will include some beer drinking and there may be some R-rated game content. This is an adult get-together where supervised minors will be accepted. Parents should take this into account and please let us know if you have questions.
