In the mid-'90s, at the height of the Sega / Nintendo rivalry, Blockbuster held two competitions retro gamers fondly remember.
Hosted by the Portland Retro Gaming Expo and powered by Double Jump Events, the Blockbuster World Video Game Championship 3 will create new memories for a new generation and is free to enter for all PRGE attendees!
PRGE has teamed up with Blockbuster to recreate their iconic store for the weekend! Swing by the Blockbuster Experience room to grab an updated Blockbuster card and chat with Sandi Harding, the General Manager of the last Blockbuster on the planet. Be kind and rewind to a simpler time; a different time when the Sega Saturn dominated the 32-bit wars and the Atari Jaguar was the best-selling cartridge-based 64-bit system. A time when the Blockbuster World Video Game Championship 3 is about to take place...
