  1. Hi Stan!

    As a co-organizer for the California Extreme show (since 2002), thank you for the above article and certainly glad to hear you enjoyed our crazy show.

    In regards to the number of arcade and pinball games at the show, I did want to point out that we actually expect about 500-600 games each year so maybe revise this number upwards a bit for your article? In fact, the last few shows have had just about 600 games on hand 🙂 .

    Just a suggestion…again, thanks for supporting the show!
