Are there buried treasures in your attic? Maybe if your grandfather was a pirate. Or if you kept your old educational videogames in pristine condition.
I am thrilled to announce that our smash hit panel from PAX East is coming to PAX Prime in Seattle, so that all of you West Coasters can now experience the thrill of “Retrogame Roadshow: Are Your Old Games Actually Buried Treasure?”
Well, are they? In a live show reminiscent of Pawn Stars, our panel of collecting experts will tell you. Audience members are invited to bring along the most interesting things from their gaming collections, and we’ll tell you why they’re collectible (or not!) and hazard a guess as to what they might be worth on the open market.
I’ll be joined by game archaeologist Frank Cifaldi (The Lost Levels), supercollector Mike Mika (Other Ocean), and other special guests who know what’s what about collectible games.
The sold-out PAX Prime runs from August 26-28 in Seattle. Our panel will take place in the Unicorn Theatre on Friday, August 26 at 5:00 p.m.
As ever, we need your help! While we are looking forward to surprise walk-up participants from the audience, we would ideally like to get in touch with anyone that knows they want to participate. If you’re interested in having your collectible evaluated by our panel, send an email to paxpanel@gmail.com. You can also drop us a line on the Facebook event page.
