Ever since moving to the West Cost, I’ve attended the Portland Retro Gaming Expo and, for the past two years, I’ve had the pleasure of exploring it with my friend Jeff. It’s a wonderful opportunity to catch a glimpse of some of the fabulous and unusual devices from video game history, and to indulge in some gaming.

This year’s highlight was the chance to play an original Battlezone arcade cabinet and experience the game in all of its vector-based glory.
