California Extreme is the annual celebration of classic arcade games. Attendees can buy, sell, trade and play all kinds of coin op games usually hidden in private collections. Tournaments and live music are scheduled throughout the weekend. Guest speakers include pinball icon Steve Ritchie, the software engineers of Sinistar, and the developers of 10-player cult classic Killer Queen. From coin-operated pinball to games that never got fully produced, California Extreme is every video game nerd’s dream come true.
