About this episode
Anna hits the floor at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, or as she and her late friend Roberta always called it, the PGRE. It’s a weekend overflowing with nostalgia, laughter, and the kind of serendipity that only happens when you pack decades of gaming history under one roof.
This episode brings you the voices and moments that defined the show: Al Lowe sharing stories from his Sierra days, Lori and Corey Cole reminiscing about Quest for Glory, George Sanger talking music and memory, and dozens of creators, collectors, and fans who keep the golden age of adventure games alive. From the FMV Museum and the Error 47 concert to spontaneous hallway interviews and late-night reflections, this is a trip through time and community.
Whether you were there in person or living vicariously through your headphones, you’ll feel the hum of the crowd, the passion of the fans, and the unmistakable presence of Roberta woven throughout it all.
Press play, step onto the show floor, and let the stories roll.
Mangia!
