Arcade Meets LAN party

Posted by Hemos on from the best-of-the-best dept.

Rylar writes "California Extreme is holding their annual classic arcade games show at the San Jose Convention Center September 7th and 8th. With paid admission you get free play on all the Pinball machines and old school upright arcade machines like Space Invaders, Asteroids, Centipede and Frogger to name a few. This year LANtrocity has joined the mix for an "old meets new" element. LANtrocity is providing a BYOC area and several free play computers on the 7th, one admission gets you into both the old style arcade free play area and the LAN party. Challenge your friends to a Biathlon; Galaga and SoF2."

    Okay, I know it's a crappy site, but we have arcades and LANs (in the same building!) in four different cities: Portland, ME, Danvers, MA (near Boston), Burlington, VT, and Dartmouth, MA.

    Come check it out! :)
