BigDumer Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) Had a great time at the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo! Was fortunate to meet up with @Lathe26 and got to join him for poutine lunch (I think his Montreal Smoked Meat poutine was better than my Jambalaya poutine) and then for the $4 donuts. A highlight was when someone (who @Lathe26 knows) saw me in my @Papa Pete shirt he started singing the intro tune. So, you were there in spirit, Pete! I didn't get any Intellivision stuff (there isn't too much left on my list) but I got 4 NES games (highlights: Mega Man 4, Journey to Silius), 4 Wii games (nothing special...Phantom Brave: We Meet Again) and a stack of 10 very clean PS3 games from the "all games are $2" table. We also had a nice chat with @swlovinist about keeping things positive in the Intellivision community. My feet hurt, but it was nice to get out to an expo again. Has me looking forward to the insanity of PRGE. EDIT: Pic includes an Inty game that was planned for a trade for someone who wasn't able to make it.

Nice pickups! Rev had an underpriced copy of Secret Files: Tunguska in his booth at PRGE a few years back. I should have bought it. I'll be on the hunt for some Wii games at PRGE. I'm still looking for a few big hitters for my Wii collection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 I had a great time talking to @BigDumer, @swlovinist, and @swlovinist! Apologies to @ZeroPage Homebrew, I missed your talk due to having been randomly selected to take a COVID test. Thus, you can... wait for it... Blame Canada (South Park song starts playing ?). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+swlovinist Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I had a great time at the expo, and was nice to see many AA members there too. I have gone to this expo every year but one, and enjoy it very much. I found some crazy stuff, fair prices, and friendly vendors. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Video of the Homebrew Game Development panel talk from Saturday at the 2022 Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo has just been posted! Thank you so much to David Galloway @djmips, Daniel Savage and Brian Provinciano for being on the panel and sharing their knowledge and experience about developing homebrew games! It's was an incredible experience moderating the talk and meeting all three of them in person! - James 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Black_Tiger Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I didn't expect the VRGE to be so big (or have such a nice venue) and it was packed. Way more young people there than I remember being at the Portland show I made it to. It will be interesting to see what this year's PGRE looks like. It was great hanging out with Lathe26 and BigDumer and meeting swlovinist. It would have been nice to meet more local Intellivision guys but hopefully that'll happen in October. I've had lots of friends over the years who are into classic gaming, but the only people I've been able to talk to about Intellivision irl have been my family. Meeting more Intellivision fans is the main draw for me at these shows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikazi26 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) I wonder if anyone was smart enough to buy that rare French Canadian version of blockade runner? Super hard to get (especially with the French manual). I totally would have picked up that French Canadian Dreadnaught Factor as well.
