After regrettably having to cancel our fall 2023 party due to unforeseen circumstances, SC3 is excited to announce our next event: Saturday, April 20, 2024, at Y2Kade in Cerritos, from 4 p.m. to midnight. SC3 held its first Y2Kade event last year, but if you weren't able to make it, you should know that it's a privately-owned arcade featuring MANY coin-op classics from the '70s onward. This is a place where a Tank machine may be settled between Street Fighter II and a Daytona USA twin cab and somehow none of them look out of place. Most machines are in excellent condition, and there's a few pinball tables too! Sounds like heaven to us.
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 district; 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.
Parking
Y2Kade has a parking lot, but it will be occupied by the SC3 festivities. There is no parking at Y2Kade except for Y2Kade staff and organizers. You should be able to park along the nearby streets named Business Circle. While there are many business parking lots nearby, they are private property and you should not park in them.
You may have a bit of a walk depending on how parked up Business Circle is. If you have mobility issues and have a driver, we encourage you to be dropped off at the entrance to Y2Kade's lot (labeled PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE above), and then your driver can find parking.
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.
