If you are a Retro Gamer and are in the Seattle or Portland area, then you are in luck !
The SRGE (Seattle Retro Gaming Expo) and PRGE (Portland Retro Gaming Expo) have announced their respective event dates for 2012.
The Portland event will be at a new, larger capacity venue, the Oregon Convention Centre. The PRGE crew have also announced that 20,000 square feet of floorspace has been earmarked for an arcade area, called the Mega-Cade. This area will feature full-size video game and pinball machines. There is also an expanded exhibitor area and more speakers and panels lined up for the event. Last but not least, for the first time ever, PRGE and Ground Kontrol will host an after hours party, with free play arcade and console machines. The party is opened to all paid attendees (ages 21+).
