Greetings! I'm a volunteer with the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, and as part of that, I get given more passes to the show than I can reasonably use, so I'm giving away the extras!
PRGE is the largest retro video game show in Oregon. You'll find a vast library of games and dozens of original, vintage consoles and computers to play them on, a free play arcade with a large collection of arcade games and pinball machines, a large schedule of panels about the games we love and the people who made them, an enormous vendor area to help build your own collection, and much, much more.
The guest lineup this year is the most impressive I've ever seen. I'm particularly excited about Nolan Bushnell (co-founder of Atari), Jeff Minter (creator of Tempest 2000, Attack of the Mutant Llamas, and many more games), Eugene Jarvis (creator of Defender, Robotron: 2084, and many other great classics).
The show will be held September 27th-29th at the Oregon Convention Center. For more information, see
-
The raffle will remain open until 11:59 PM Pacific time, Thursday, September 12th.
-
I will choose SIX winners, at random, from all entrants.
-
Each winner will receive ONE 3-Day Weekend Pass.
-
Winners will be announced on Friday, September 13th.
-
If you win, I’ll PM to collect your information. You’ll need to provide a first/last name and email address.
-
You’ll receive an email with a QR code. Present the code at will call to gain admittance.
Good luck!

Hello, I'm back again this year with another PRGE giveaway! I volunteer with the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, and get way more passes to the show than I can use, so I'm raffling off the extras.
If you haven't heard of PRGE, it's a show celebrating video games from their inception to the present day. Dozens of consoles and home computers are available to play, along with an extensive game library for each of them. There's also a selection of classic arcade games, and pinball machines from the EM era up to the latest Sterns. There's a huge vendor area, with merchants selling systems, games, memorabilia, art, and more! Also, a full schedule of panels with streamers and the people who made the games that made history. And much more! Visit to learn all about it.
PRGE is also a registered 501(c)(4) non-profit.
The response last year was massive and humbling, there was much more demand than I expected, which is awesome! Because of that, I'm changing how this works a little. Here's the skinny:
-
The raffle will remain open until Monday, October 9th.
-
I will choose FOUR winners at random.
-
Each winner will receive ONE weekend pass to PRGE (October 13th-15th).
-
I'll PM all winners to coordinate.
-
The passes will be available for pickup at will-call, at the show.
-
Winners need to provide first name, last name, and email address to go on the will-call list -- I'll ask for those when I PM to let them know.
Good luck!
