LambdaCalculus379 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Every final Friday of every month, Digital Press in Clifton, NJ hosts NAVA events, usually centered around various themes. Their Facebook and Twitter feeds usually will announce NAVA events a week or two ahead of time so people can gear up and head out to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely need to stop by and check out the C64 and Vic20 software! Oh I'm bummed I missed last month as it was AT Genesis, Atari Flashback , SNES mini. This month is Grand Theft Audio so I'll have to pass as not appropriate for my 7 year old. Hoping there is a kiddy RGP / cosplay day coming ( Pokeman, Yo-Kai Watch etc...)

LaserCat Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know of additional events in the Greater NYC metro area? (Downstate NY, NYC, NJ, CT) ? Please only include Retro Console or Retro Computer events. Vintage Computer Festival East -- Wall, NJ Long Island Retro Gaming Expo -- Garden City, NY Retro Video Game Day (every Friday) -- Grand Central Library -- NYPL Coleco Retro Gaming & Collectibles Expo @ NJ Convention and Exposition Center -- Edison, NY New Jersey Gamer Convention on July 7-8. I went 2 years ago and it was a very small con. Now it has been moved to the Crowne Plaza in Cherry Hill. I went to Monster Mania at the same venue years ago and it is a much better place to hold a con. A Video Game Con at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, NJ on September 15-16. I have never been to this Kickstarter funded convention. Seeing that it is now being held at a proper convention center I will be attending this year.

LaserCat Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) The Digital Press is less than 2 hours away. Time to plan a road trip! Edited May 26, 2018 by LaserCat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I recommend visiting the Digital Press. They always cool stuff availble. Over the years, I’ve picked up several homebrews and a Harmony cart from them. Last time I was there, they had several Starplex controllers available for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest in peace Good Riddance: Coleco Retro Gaming & Collectibles Expo @ NJ Convention and Exposition Center -- Edison, NY -- likely defunct as website is for sale. This event seriously sucked from what I read. The "Coleco" trademark owner is no friend of the Retro Gaming Community.

MeatWithGravy Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I'm hoping to attend the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo this year. I've never been to a con or an expo or anything of the sort. Wait! Not exactly true. I attended Pinfest in Allentown, PA back in 2016. Sadly, I didn't come home with a pinball machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
