Paul Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 If you have not been to this yet, you should consider it. Last year was the biggest year ever, with 2016 looking to be bigger. There is something for everybody. My booth is mostly 8 bit, but I have a little of everything got it. Last year I found a 800 for $30, 1200xl keyboard for free. My booth buddy does custom tshirts. Panels, free arcade play, it's really worth it. The Professor, Arenafoot, Zontar and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 ALL: PRGE is approaching fast. It's October 21->23 in Portland, OR. I'd like to know if anyone here is going. I am, but not sure which day. Would be happy to meet up with any other members here. More info is here: http://www.retrogamingexpo.com/ There will be a ton of special guests (example: Video Game Nerd James Rolfe!) And a history museum with these features: Here are some of the rare and incredible exhibits you'll find: The recently-discovered "Nintendo PlayStation," a prototype of a proposed team-up between Nintendo and Sony that added a CD-ROM drive to the Super Nintendo An extensive collection of rare complete-in-box Atari 2600 games A massive collection of store kiosks used to display and demo vintage game consoles The only known example of a United States model of the Nintendo 64DD Arenafoot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 PRGE is THIS WEEKEND! I have my ticket, and I've decided to attend Sunday only. Feel free to contact me if anyone else from Atari.io is going and wants to meet up. Else I'm representin' the AIO by myself.

RickR Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 PRGE notes Due to other commitments, I only went on Sunday this year. But it was still really packed The show is HUGE. I can remember the days when it was a pretty marginal deal. But now...big time. Hundreds of vendors. Hundreds of games to play and try. Thousands of people. I took no pictures (sorry). My hands were too full from my haul (see below). I got the high score on Berzerk! Played a ton of pinball. Notes on my haul Thank you to the Intellivionaires for the cool badge. Got to play the infamous "Jr Pac Man" for Intellivision. It's great. Bought raffle tickets for a good cause -- Kid's charity in Cowlitz county, WA. Spent way too much...but all this good junk needed a new home. Ballblaɀer, Justin, nosweargamer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I had to pick that up for $1. And I'm pronouncing it "Tommy" in your honor. nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) I have not yet tested, but I just figured out that the "AMC" cart may be "Attack of the Mutant Camels". What a neat thing to find! Edited October 23, 2016 by RickR nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Sweet haul Rick! I like those badges from Al! I have the bottom one (white w/ blue building skyline badge) but with "2015 CGF" and my name/screen name after requesting it from him but getting it at the 2015 Houston expo.

Kid A Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'm a big Legend of Zelda fan. Although I was unable to attend, my buddy who was a vendor there picked this up for me over at the PRGE. I love it! The cart is in a color scheme of a famicom. jmjustin6 and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
