RetroGameCon

It's one of the parts of the con we're most proud of - make sure you don't miss it and grab your tickets this weekend!

This year at RGC: Spring Edition, we'll be highlighting the best of the best in the history of gaming, with a focus on the Nintendo GameCube, which turns 25 this year!

What these guys put together each year is nothing short of amazing, a joyful conglomerate of CRTs, LCDs, joysticks, diskettes, controllers and keyboards.

The RGC Free Play team spends the entire year carefully collecting (hoarding?), repairing, and testing consoles, computers, accessories, and games from all eras of gaming from the 1970s to the 2020s.

Every day this week, we’re spotlighting the great events and activities coming to RGC: Spring Edition. Last night we told you about our Paint & Take, tonight we're highlighting one of the biggest draws at RGC: FREE PLAY!

All donations to this event go to our favorite charity, Extra Life!

Supported by our amazing long-time sponsor Reaper Miniatures and managed by RGC artist Knurdy Creations, this activity is great for every con-goer. Visit the Paint & Take in the tabletop area any time during the con, grab your supplies, and let your creativity flow 🖌️🎨

Every day this week, we’re spotlighting the great events and activities coming to RGC: Spring Edition. Last night we told you about Rock Band Karaoke at the con, tonight it's our always popular Paint & Take!
