I didn't get to chat with you (much), but I just saw you going through security at PDX. Safe travels!

I am not sure if the little cats like the situation.

There were others that were playing and appeared to be enjoying themselves, but they just came out as blurs with the phone camera. Some cats don't like crowds and strangers, but the organizers definitely seemed concerned with keeping the stress level low for them and limiting the number of people they were interacting with to a couple at a time.

I was not able to take many pictures, but below are a few. I’d like to thank all of the devs/creatives for continuing to provide the community with new and engaging games. Without you, there wouldn’t be an opportunity for such gatherings to exist. Sure a few of us would get together at our homes, but the classic console gaming experience at a “PRGE”, just wouldn’t be possible without all of your hard work. Again, thank you all.

 

One quick note. I played a few games of Berzerk Enhanced on the Atari 2600+ and must say that I was impressed with the new version of the CX40. It feels and performs just like the CX of old IMO. The crowd noise made it difficult for me to hear the speech in Berzerk, so I’m unable to speak to how clear the phrases are.

The AA booth never disappoints and is always a site to behold. Love the banners.

Champ Games booth, where I spent most of my time this year. Turbo Arcade, Elevator Agent are still available, but along with others (e.g., Scramble, Super Cobra Arcade etc.) we’re flying off the shelves. @johnnywc and @Nathan Strum bravo for all the hard work (in a relatively short amount of time) that it took for you to ramp up the “distribution” arm of Champ Games. 
<Edit> That’s John’s brother Paul on the left. Thank you Paul for your controllers and t-shirts. Great seeing you again.

Shout-out to Mr. Tod Frye for signing my Atari & Sears copies of Pac-Man and my custom Shooting Arcade cart. We spent quite a bit of time just talking “Atari” and that was really cool.

It was great to meet you yesterday Steve! Sorry I missed meeting Tod, looks like he stopped by the booth shortly after I left for the day yesterday.

Nice meeting you as well. Tod stopped by around 5pm. Special thanks to @darryl1970for keeping an eye out for Tod. You’re Da Man Darryl!

It was another memorable PRGE. Every time I attend, I am reminded that while the games and consoles bring us together, it's the people that takes the hobby to another level. Or, is it just me? No one in my physical social circle share my hobbies--not even my kids--so when it comes to video games, I interact mostly with people online. Getting the opportunity to meet face to face is always a treat, and meeting new people even better. I met some new faces and got to hang out a bit with folks this time around. I forgot to get photos with a few people but here's what I have. @sramirez2008 @keebz @darryl1970 it was awesome meeting you in person for the first time.

I attended to panels, one by Mr. Boomshakalaka who seems to be taking regular sips from the Fountain of Youth and the homebrew panel by John Champeau and Garry Kitchen.

And the loot... Mostly from AA with Champ Games, Songbird, a local gamer group reseller, Intellivision Revolution, and John Hancock.

Thanks for grabbing a copy of my game Immunity!  I hope you like it and the packaging and manual I put together with @BitJag and @Albert.

One last set of pictures of the cleanup crew. I stayed with many others for a few hours after the show ended today to help Al pack up. It was a great show and I had a great time. Had fun chatting with @TrekMD and @KevinMos3 after the show, @Bruce-Robert Pocock @Revontuli and several others were there too. Can’t wait for the next one!
