SC3's latest show took place at Alhambra's Nucleus Gallery on October 1, 2011, as over 200 attendees, 33 vintage coin-ops, 17 classic home consoles and one 1982 Tron VFD tabletop crowded the floor for 12 hours of nonstop gaming. This was the second time SC3 had brought its brand of retro-tinged video game revelry to Nucleus, and the first time that we (mostly) knew what we were doing there. Several pieces of videogame-inspired artwork were on display, courtesy of a talented cadre of local artists. Musical artistry, featuring 8 Bit Weapon, ComputeHer and virt, was on display during the latter part of the show. Yes, plenty of artistic flair was visible at our latest event; we even had T-shirts. Read all about it in our October 1 Show Recap.

As is usually the case right after a show, the exact date of the next SC3 event is to be announced. We aim for one show roughly every six months, but nothing is set in stone yet. Please keep an eye on this page and the SC3 Forums for announcements as they are made.

As always, thanks for your support!

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 3. If you love videogames, you're welcome to attend!

SC3 has made a point of keeping our meetings relaxed and informal, but the events are organized by adults and are primarily aimed at adults. Past SC3 events have included alcohol and some R-rated game content. All SC3 events are adult get-togethers where supervised minors are happily accepted. Parents should take this into account. If you have questions, please post them on the SC3 Forums.
