Coleco Chameleon is REAL at PRGE '23

The Portland Retro Gaming Expo is the measuring stick when it comes to video game expos. It's been around a long time and continues to grow every year. Tons of vendors, freeplay arcade and pinball, VGHF museum featuring Jaguar and more this year. So much cool stuff to see.

RetroGameCon Gave Me Explosive Diarrhea kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYfUpnWXl9Spqbc

[@dwaynemenzies8824]

I think I saw the Explosive Diarrhea on Amazon Canada.

[@dwaynemenzies8824]

John, did you have M.U.S.C.L.E Men toys. I had hundreds of them, and now they go for hundreds for one.

[@Benjamillion]

Tommy Tallarico is weeping while he's down in Chile

[@RetroGamerBrasil]

I’m so glad you visited our Brazil booth! I hope to see you again in the Sidequest expo!

[@MiamiSunrise]

Another great show this year, likely one of my favorite PRGE events I've been to. You produced this video incredibly quickly, nice work man!

[@JohnRiggs]

I would have done it last night but by the time I got back I was, like, 'Yeah, sleep."

[@hectormontalvo5565]

Awesome convention bro!🙉 Thanks for showing your adventures for us that can't go. Good showing and cool video John!👉😃👈

[@fated2pretend]

lmao, the air fresheners. "Smells like menthol cigarettes, spilled soda, gumballs and wood paneling." 🤣

[@Neodestro]

0:48 omg lol that is a PC pci video card inside of the coleco system nice video dude

[@lap456]

Forgot to add I saw that big NES gamepad to me it was only time G4 repected Tech TV by going back to what The Screen Savers was all about; tech help, porjects, and how to.

[@ORTrainMan]

It was nice chatting with you again on Saturday. great show

[@MyBrothersKeeper101]

Absolutely f*ck*ng love the content Riggzy please keep it coming 🤘🤘💪

Woooo, that was fast editing, thanks again Mr Riggs its always sooo awesome to see you my friend, see you in the next one.

[@fdiasvieira]

Greetings from Brazil John!

[@JohnnyCProduction]

Great seeing you! Will see you next year!

[@Hoodooter]

It was great to finally meet you, and awesome to see Jay there as well. For anyone wondering, John is 100% the same in person as his videos... wonderfully goofy and personable, if you get a chance to see him at a convention I would totally recommend it. 5/5 - Hoodooter

[@JohnRiggs]

I'm just some random dude who loves video games.

[@Hoodooter]

@@JohnRiggs which is why we all love ya, man. We are just random peeps who love video games. Your enthusiasm is genuine and really shines through. Keep up the great work!

[@PhillipJackson-rl5ty]

John you have some of the best content on KZbin.... love you brother... keep up the good work 👍

[@MichaelLoudenTV23]

Great first time at PRGE! Definitely worth it to come all the way from Michigan. It was great to see you again John! I should have stopped by Al’s in Seattle. I walked by it on the way to Pink Gorilla. I did purchase some Animal Crossing Amiibo Cards and The Oregon Trail for the Wii from their booth.

[@jamesz28]

Great video, John. My wife and I were able to attend PRGE for the first time this year. It was a blast, and we really enjoyed your panel.

[@brunoaraujo3652]

Garoto Chocolate Factory is located in Espirito Santo, my home state. It's nice to see old Sega Master System and Mega Drive boxes from Brazil.

[@setsers1]

🙄7 years later, it's back. Oh boy, here we go.

[@galactoidgaming]

I had an awesome time at the convention. It was great meeting you at your booth. You were super cool and friendly and I love the arcade air freshener I got from you! That was my first convention ever and I'll definitely be back next year!

[@gamerguy425]

Oh my god this is a SHRINE to the jaguar!!! just literally everything jaguar all in one place holy crap!!! I don't think I've even seen pictures let alone footage of the dental unit! And then there's that master system version of the sega mega jet!! omg!! I wanted that back in the day but its very expensive I think.4.75 grand on ebay!!!

[@andyfranklin5004]

Thank you for showing the life I would love to live! Nice.

[@n8ivegogo1]

That guy from LRG did not look like he wanted to be there at all lol Great vid though Mr Riggs! I LOVE these convention vids because i live on the coast of WA & never get to go to any, so thank you for sharing these type of vids with us🙂

[@TastyAbbyJamz]

Hope it was a blast! Looked like such a good time! I'd love to make out that way one of these days! So many games and so much gaming history! ☺

[@matts3137]

Great vid as always, John! And gabbo you rule!

[@piplus2]

Thanks, John, it looks like heaven!

[@RetroGameCon]

Nice lanyard.

[@JohnRiggs]

I kept it :)

[@georged7627]

Rex Viper played 🤣I wish they would come to Australia 🙏🏽

[@intellivisiongamer]

It was great seeing all the Jaguar goodies in the museum. I picked up your new game and it was great to see you again sir. Hopefully see you again next year..

[@muneno1066]

I went last year for the first time. I bought an NES Cobra Kai off you. Wish I could've gone this year!

[@MrPoestyle]

I can't even imagine an Expo like this !!!! The only one I can make it to is Pittsburgh but I love it and it was great meeting you a few weeks ago !!!!

[@jonnycoyote2782]

Hey JohnRiggs will be at the Torg Game Expo in Columbus OH In now

[@JohnRiggs]

I'm not. Maybe next year.

[@Seattlesgames]

HEY JOHN ! ALWAYS GREAT SEE YOU ! ENJOY YOUR R ZONE GAMES MY FRIEND ! SEE YOU NEXT CONVENTION !!!

[@AndreSjoberg]

Never had a Transformer as a kid, did get the Porsche 928 S Metallic Blue Gobot / Machine Robo DX though, it was *awesome* :D

[@MSUHitman]

AJ Styles from WWE would be drooling at that Jaguar set, LoL

[@lap456]

I wounder if Pat The NES Puck will look at that on the CUPodcast since that's an find.

[@MSUHitman]

7:48 The KOTOR 1 LRG CE might be bigger than that Samurai Jack CE, not sure.

[@selbyjohnson5986]

Very good overview of the con! I went and you found stuff I didn’t see!

[@retrojoe85]

Hi, John! The console shown at @5:48 is a Micro Genius: it's one of the best NES clones ever made, plus in some areas of Europe (like here in Italy) someone released even GAMES for it! To don't be so impressed, they were just standard NES 72-pin bootleg carts and the games were tipically the ones already published by American Video Entertainment in the US.

[@warehousedave7937]

There's a really rare pink version of the Master System Super Compact called the Super Compact Girl

[@andreferreiraaraujo4971]

comeco chameleon is coming soon

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

It was certainly fun this year as it always is at PRGE! Not sure if you got a chance to play my Getaway or Police Force or not but those were my two pins I had in the pinball section. I also talked to you on Sunday I was the yellow haired guy in the P.A.C. shirt.

[@sinistermoon]

Great video, dude!

[@bra1nc417d]

Id go to one If I didn't need to drive across the entire country. Gonna be missing out forever, I guess.

[@mjdf122]

John Riggs at another convention/expo amazing

[@PhillipJackson-rl5ty]

I remember seeing that system in catalogs... I thought it was going to be the next big thing....lol

[@bryanobrien2726]

Freudian slip at 0:37 "the cAmico Chameleon" ? Tommy Tallarico just rolled over in his grave😆

[@mtshark7]

Man I need to check out thus expo at some point! R zone games?! I'm there lol.

[@twithnell]

I had all those r-zone games back in the day except the battle arena game. Must have been a Japan release. Looking back, it was garbage, but I loved playing it when I was supposed to be in bed at 2 am. lol

[@MasterSwordMusic]

Nice!!

[@ultramaximusreviews]

I've been watching a lot of Jaguar stuff lately

[@VEGANVANIA]

Realer than the Intellivision Amico by half.

[@kassiusklay2684]

Can't wait for midwest gaming classic🎉🎉🎉

[@Carvania]

I was in Portland the weekend before for personal reasons, bummer it wasn't a week later. I've never been to the expo . I'm in grants pass . Lol not to far but still too far when living on a budget. Love ur content..

[@barryklinedinst6233]

Im curious if you think physical games and dvds are on the way out? I love collecting games. And i know u do also

[@42calking53]

I like Go bots too

Enjoy the Gobots

Is it illegal to print on my Commodore 64 printer with the Commodore 64 Super Mario Bros Print World software and then sell the black & white print outs?

[@Enchurito]

Who's Jay? She looks familiar?

[@JohnRiggs]

My middle child.

[@Mike__P]

Limited Run Games...not so limited.

[@videogames4life475]

They rarely do limited quantities on games anymore. I remember having to take a bathroom break at work so I didn't miss out on a limited game. Thankful for the open pre-order windows now. Much appreciated and needed so no one can say they missed out.

[@daviddonnell2153]

No James Wolfe? 😢

[@JohnRiggs]

I'm sure everyone else put their camera in his face. I did get a group shot with him in it, too, I posted on Twitter.

[@daviddonnell2153]

@@JohnRiggs the dude is a legend

[@Cbamptronious]

So..pretty sure that coleco chameleon is a fake. Look closely at the internals, it's pretty clearly an old graphics card. Left side has PCIe or AGP fins/pins connected to nothing, and the back looks like a pair of vga or dvi connectors.

[@JoshHoodSucks]

Quick someone put up the CUPODCAST signal in the sky

[@PhillipJackson-rl5ty]

John you have some of the best content on KZbin.... love you brother... keep up the good work 👍
