+Special Teams Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Heading down to Portland on Friday (my birthday treat for myself) and will be in attendance Saturday. I've never been to this show, though I was at the Seattle one last year (unless you wanted loose NES cartridges, the Seattle one didn't have a lot to offer). What should I look for at the Portland show? Anyone else going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonlikesINTV Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Ooh, is this going to be the official Portland Expo thread? It would be nice to have one thread with updates of the goings on so I can experience it vicariously. Take lots of pics And report all pickups, exclusives, and finds!

+Special Teams Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Looks like there will be Atari 2600 and Colecovision homebrews available, but I didn't see any Intellivision games listed on the PRGE website. I will definitely take pics and post them here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 What should I look for at the Portland show? Depends on what you are looking for, I know there will be atari stuff, commodore stuff, msx stuff, sega stuff, nintendo stuff, game and watch and other handhelds, nuon stuff, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionDude Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I'm waiting for someone to start a convention near me. They even built a new convention center just 2 minutes from my house. Make it happen people. We need one in the south. What better place to have one that in a tourist trap town and in the middle of the Smoky Mountains. http://www.mypigeonforge.com/leconte-center/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I'm going to be at PRGE and leave for it in a few days. For those who haven't been to PRGE, here is a comparison of last year's PRGE to this year's CGE: PRGE had more games and systems for sale. However, CGE had more Intellivision stuff. However, at PRGE I found CIB copies of Body Slam and Fathom on the floor and also bought a number of items off of BBWW in the parking garage. PRGE had a little more arcade and pinball games (though CGE had a large number as well). CGE had HUGE museum of stuff to see. PRGE had much, much less on display. PRGE has well organized auction. It has a 2 hour schedule and they have already posted a tentative list of this year's auction items here. I really wish CGE had done this. There was no announced or displayed items beforehand. Attendees were left ply people for rumor nuggets to see if the 5 hour open-ended time block was going to be worth sitting through (my only real criticism of an otherwise fantastic CGE). Also, the Blue Sky Rangers will be giving a talk at PRGE. If you missed them at CGE, now is your chance. http://retrogamingexpo.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 So who is going? Thus far, it looks like: Special Teams Lathe26 I also suspect y-bot will be there as a vendor. I don't have confirmation from him (haven't asked), but I've seen him be a vendor there in past years and he is from the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerSpaceFan Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'll be there on Saturday. I'll be wearing my AA lanyard and have on my Chun-li t-shirt. I hope to meet any of you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y-bot Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes, I'll be there. I'm the vice president of PRGE so I kinda have to be there, lol. Also a vendor and I will be right inside the main entrance this year. PRGE craziness starts tomorrow for me. I have 9 arcade games in my dining room which will be picked up plus 6 pallets full of merchandise and PRGE freeplay stuff in the garage at my work. I'll be at the convention center 6:00 am to midnight Thursday-Sunday with a few breaks and most of Monday. Then on Tuesday I'm going to Disneyland! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
