Retrocalifragilisticexpialidocious

RGCP or the Retro Gamers & Collectors Philippines group recently held their 6th Anniversary event over at Victory Central Mall at Monumento.
Hosted by Retrogamerph Store.
And as recommended by Senor Benj. Thanks, maaang!

Not entirely sure if they were the same organizers at Retro Gaming Expo (which took place early this year over at Fishermall).
But either way, this was the closest event to ever took place within our general area(Q.C. North Area).
The closest one was a PICCA event at SM North Edsa which was held some good 9 years ago.
Thanks, Macoy!
But I wasn't able to go to THAT event so that doesn't count, I guess?

True to name/theme of this convention.
This was indeed an event for retro gamers and collectors alike.
Game cartridges and controllers do rule the event.
Free plays on consoles like the Nes, Snes, N64Dreamcast, and Playstation.
Games spotted on these TVs:
SuperMario Bros, Power Stone, Tekken 3, Super Smash Bros.
and our personal favorite Street Fighter II Turbo.
There was also an on-going raffle, Super Smash Tournament and (what we could only assume is) a Dance Dance Revolution exhibition upon our arrival.
The tiangge area was also a highlight for the event.
Considering the limited floor space of the Victory Mall, the organizers were able to keep the exhibitors as diverse as possible.
Merchandises weren't simply limited to video game-related toys and figurines.
Naka-quota na siya. Ang saya ni kuya o!

There were also anime figurines,
comic book related figurines,
and surprisingly enough, comic books.
Don't have the budget to buy anything?
Don't fret
because there will always be something for everyone.
Kung kaya't, huwag ka ng choosy!
OY!

All in all this was a fun lil' event.
The venue and the time (10am-7pm) was an excellent choice as well.
And we sincerely hope that we could attend the next event as well.
Hence, congratulations and happy 6th anniversary, RGCP!
More power to you guys and stay awesome....
