We listen to your feedback and push the boundaries of PRGE every year. Posted by RecycledGamer on 5-31-2017At PRGE you will notice people with these awesome logos on the back of their shirts (right).Who are these people? They are the 1-Ups: our awesome army of volunteers.Feeling lost, confused, need directions to nearest castle or maybe want to show someone your latest score from a vendor? Find one of them, scattered throughout the show hall, and they will help you right away.The show's staff would sincerely like to thank them with the utmost gratitude and sincerity.

Plain and simple, the show would not work without them.THANK YOU TO ALL OUR 1-UPS! On September 11, 1977, Atari released the Video Computer System (VCS) console, more commonly known today as the Atari 2600.

It was slow to be accepted by consumers, selling less than a million units in 1977 and 1978 combined. Eventually Atari began to license popular arcade titles such as Taito's Space Invaders, driving sales to over 30 million units for the life of the console. Ultimately the Atari 2600 was sold from 1977 until 1992 and there were over 550 game titles created for the system.Everyone who grew up in the 1980s remembers the iconic wood grain look of the Atari 2600 and the feel of its black rubberized joysticks. This was the console that showed the world that their television could be more than just a passive 'boob tube'.

The 2600 ushered in a whole new industry that was unimaginable just a few years before. While Atari and the 2600, they ultimately lead to the start of a $100 billion industry that has more than doubled the revenue of the film industry.We at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo recognize the contributions of the industrial designers, programmers and artists who brought this tenacious game console into the living rooms of the world. For the 40th anniversary of the Atari 2600 VCS, we have planned a special series of panels covering the hardware, games and history of the system. We are bringing industry experts and alumni from Atari and other third-party companies to share the rich history of the system with our attendees.

In addition, we will have an arcade full of Atari 2600 systems that our guests can touch, play and enjoy throughout the weekend.And we have a special surprise.One of the most iconic things about Atari games was the incredible hand-painted artwork that was used on the game boxes and cartridges. While the games themselves were primitive due to the limitations of the technology, Atari used the package artwork to tell the story of each game and draw users into new worlds. The visual storytelling on the box allowed. One of the original artists behind the Atari package art is Steve Hendricks.

He created the artwork behind such classic Atari 2600 titles as Defender, Haunted House and Warlords. We were fortunate enough to host Steve at PRGE last year and he will be returning this year to hosting a panel discussing his time working for Atari. In addition, PRGE has commissioned Steve to create a new piece of custom art in the style of the original Atari package artwork to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 2600. His artwork, seen on the right, will be shared wth our attendees on our show badges, on the show program, on t-shirts and on special limited-edition die-cut posters designed to resemble point-of-sale posters for Atari 2600 games in the early eighties. Every attendee will get a badge and the programs are free with paid admission while supplies last. The t-shirts and posters will be for sale at the PRGE information booth in the arcade on the weekend of the Expo.2017 will mark our 12th annual Portland Retro Gaming Expo. If there is any single game system that is most responsible for this event and its popularity, it's the Atari 2600.
