Event: Portland Retro Gaming Expo

By

PRGE

Got any plans this coming weekend? Careful how you respond, as there is only one answer – you will be at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo [PRGE]!

The PRGE is on from October 5 to 6 at the Oregon Convention Centre. With its sister expo in Seattle, these are the premier retro gaming events that you need to attend. There are many highlights that have been announced for PRGE, but I am most excited about AtariAge debuting several homebrew games for the Atari 2600 and 7800!

If attending the expo wasn’t enough, if you buy your ticket(s) before October 1, you can win your very own Atari Asteroids Deluxe cocktail-style arcade machine. Go on, get going!
