Title: Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2015
Post by: Fokakis79 on July 17, 2015, 03:51:16 PM
The Portland Retro Gaming Expo is coming up in October. I went for the first time last year and had a blast. I met with Nupoile and Retrorage while I was there, and a good time was had by all. 

I am starting the discussion similar to Retroworld Expo.  Would love to see more people from RFGen out here.  I know that a lot of you are saving up for Retroworld, but if you have the time and cash to make it out here, it would be great to meet you.

Here is all the information about the Expo, tickets are now on sale:

In the words of Thulsa Doom: "You, my children, are the water that will wash away all that has gone before. In your hand, you hold my light, the gleam in the eye of Set. This flame will burn away the darkness, burn you the way to paradise!"

I'll be there of course.  Trying to find a cheap copy of Dracula X or Hagane.

















Which won't happen.

At PRGE, not likely. 

I'm hoping I can talk someone down a couple of bucks though.

Hey guys I will be attending this show. I need to purchase my plane ticket and show. Hoping what ever money I make at RWE is my spending cash for there. I'll be staying with a buddy out there. The Nintendo Doctor on YouTube. He has a slew of Repros he's bringing

I finally bought our tickets last night. We plan on being there both days.

Excited to see Russ! Hope some other RFGers turn up too.





Of course RetroRage and Fokakis are fun to see too, but I already know them  :P

Can't wait to go today and really see the place packed. I did pick up one thing yesterday and that was a Homebrew for Sega CD by John Hancock and I had him sign it.
