Who is going this year other than @trekmd?
I will be posting my picture album once I return.
Look forward to your tweets over the weekend pal.
Well, I'm in Portland. Loooong day. Already got one new homebrew tonight.
Nice one pal.
Cool. Were you able to see the Tweets?
I saw your tweets. Great pics :)
Glad you liked them. I took some 166 pictures so I'll have to create the album once I get home.
I'm back from PRGE! This was a superb event again, and even better than last year. Lots of gaming celebrities to meet and the museum was even larger with a focus on the Atari 2600 given the 40th Anniversary of the console. Some of the engineers who worked at Atari (on the 2600 as well as various home computers and other consoles) were present and had some interesting panels. As if that weren't enough, there were quite a few new homebrew tittles released at the event as well for the 2600, 5200, Jaguar, NES, Genesis, and Intellivision. Never mind all the demos for even more new stuff being worked on. Here is a link to my online album: PRGE 2017 (https://photos.app.goo.gl/BMrYmI0Fuj8W3kVi2)

Thanks for the pictures! Looks like it would have been a great weekend.
Oh, it was an awesome weekend!
Awesome pic mate, I really will come one year. 8)
Thanks! It is definitely worth it. There were some folks from the Intellivision forums there who traveled from Italy!
Who was you at the meal with pal?
Those are all the Intellivision guys!
All as in lol?
LOL Now, now. show some Intellirespect!
Here's an article about the expo on ArsTechnica: Portland Retro Gaming Expo delivers the industry’s rarest, weirdest stuff (https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/10/portland-retro-gaming-expo-delivers-the-industrys-rarest-weirdest-stuff/). The only mistake I see is that the author of the article doesn't realize that the Jr. Pac-Man in the pictures is an Intellivision hombrew and not a 2600 hack! :)
Awesome! It's too bad I couldn't delay my trip to Portland this year till October. I went in April from my wife's commencement at her (online) university and enjoyed seeing the city for the short time we were there. I'll have to look through your album to see what I missed! Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Enjoy the pictures. :) I have also written a convention report that will appear in the next issue of Vectorbolt Magazine. That's a brief one. I should write something more thorough for here.
