California Extreme 2008, A Classic Arcade Games Show

by Scott Beale on July 14, 2008 · 6 comments

California Extreme 2008 is an annual celebration of classic arcade games, including pinball machines and video games, where you can play all of the games for free (no quarters needed). It takes place July 19th and 20th at the Parkside Hall in San Jose.

California Extreme is the “Classic Arcade Games Show”. It’s an annual celebration of coin operated pinball machines, video games and other novelties you once found in game arcades. All games on display are set for free play, so leave your quarters in the ash tray in your car. You won’t need ‘em.
