There are loads of arcade and pinball shows all over the United States, but Retro Gaming Consoles rarely game the same respect. Sometimes sold at Comic Book conventions, swap meets and online, original collectible classic consoles and games are getting harder and harder to find. This is why it's so refreshing to see the folks at the Retro Gaming Expo in Portland Oregon are keeping the console gaming collector alive with their annual show.
When:
September 20, 2009
Where:
Portland, Oregon - Portland Crown Plaza

The Show:
An expo entirely dedicated to classic console systems and their games. This year the Retro Gaming Expo will be expanding its classification of "Classic" to include all consoles that pre-date the modern Next-Gen systems, including the PayStation 2 and Xbox 1. Those retro purists shouldn't dismay, the show's main focus still remains the old-school consoles of yore, including the Magnavox Odyssey, Atari 2600, ColecoVision, Nintendo Entertainment System and all the rest.
Events:
- Classic Game Venders
- Retro game exhibitors
- Game tournaments.
- Contests and Competitions
- Raffles
- More events to be announced.
