Welcome to the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo 2025 (PGX 2025) — one of the most amazing retro gaming conventions in the U.S.! I got to hang out with some incredible creators, meet Brian F. Colin, the legendary designer of Rampage, and even film a short skit with Mark Bussler of Classic Game Room!
This year’s PGX had it all — a massive arcade, incredible panels, tons of rare retro games for sale, and some wild moments, including Neo Ness contemplating a $5,000 graded Halo: Combat Evolved “Not for Sale” edition. Meanwhile, I found one of my own holy grails — the Raiders of the Lost Ark LaserDisc I’ve been hunting for forever!
I also caught up with friends and creators like Gamer Ahmer, Stephen Heywood (Tech Buzz Gaming), GameDad, Jay Malone (Square Pegs), Video Game Votary, The Immortal John Hancock, John Riggs, Paul E. Niemeyer, and Paul Hubans, who I interviewed about his new game Madhouse — complete with gameplay footage!
If you love retro gaming, collecting, conventions, and crazy moments with the community, you’ll feel right at home here.
