+Lathe26 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Here's a short list the various retro gaming expos (i.e. gaming conventions for older video game systems) in my area. Please add if you know of others. Ideally, let's keep this thread as just a reference list (put conversations about specific expos on a separate thread). Portland Retro Gaming Expo Located in Portland, OR In 2013, there were ~80 vendors http://retrogamingexpo.com/ Seattle Retro Gaming Expo Located in Seattle, WA In 2013, there were ~20 vendors (getting bigger each year) http://www.seattleretro.org/ Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo Located in Vancouver, BC Haven't attended but been told it is of comparable size to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo http://www.vancouvergamingexpo.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slab0meat Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Wow, what a coincidence! I'm in Cary! Neighbor indeed! An even bigger coincidence, since your location is listed as "NC" and his is "GA" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 An even bigger coincidence, since your location is listed as "NC" and his is "GA" I just havent updated my profile. I'm not far from Cary. I go there sometimes to pick up material. Dz, we should organize a classic game expo ourselves for next year! There are other people on AA that are from this area too. And yes, I'm serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
