koifish | 555 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I'm going to PRGE for the first time this year, and thought it would be interesting to see if anyone else is going. Perhaps we could meet up at the event and do....whatever it is you do when you meet up with people at a gaming event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koifish | 555 Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Ah, I saw it listed in "common abbreviations" so I thought it was well-known, but in case that's off, the event is the Portland Retro Game Expo, being held at the Oregon Convention Center October 14-16. Here is the web page for the event: https://www.retrogamingexpo.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,097 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 One thing I haven’t done since I started collecting is attend one of these and see what all the fuss is about. I’d likely just spend all my time at the marketplace going broke lol. I looked up flights though and it’s like $600 round trip from NY so I’m probably going to wait for Too Many Games to come back around or maybe Long Island. Any other biggies on the east coast?

How far is Syracuse from you? RetroGameCon is in about a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAGFest, but the marketplace is really balls if you want to buy games (it's mostly generic anime convention vendors). It's better for the 24 hour music and arcade. I've seen everything from Odyssey 1 games to NWC to Uncharted 2 Fortune Hunter Edition for sale at Portland. You can definitely spend 2 days going broke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
