Raleigh Retro Gamers was founded in 2018 to network with other collectors, gamers, and nostalgia seekers in our area. Since its inception, Raleigh Retro Gamers has become a bustling community with thousands of members spanning across NC, with a vast majority living in the Triangle. Our mission to amplify the gaming culture for retro and modern gamers, as well as advocate for the collecting community, and the gaming contributors we have in North Carolina, led RRG to begin organizing gaming-related events. We now produce Pop-Up Markets, Expos, Esports, and Gaming Tournaments across NC and welcome gaming and geek fans of all ages at our events and in our community.
