Hey! I'm the dude who runs the PokeLab! Thanks for the little feature in the video! Glad you enjoyed the Expo, Its always a fun time. Though setup and teardown are always a bit crazy!
@@LGR I do get a bit swamped during the Expo itself, as trading and sending Pokemon to people can take a decent amount of time, but I'm always willing to try and carve out some time to speak with people about it!
This expo really feels like it nails the balance between “professional” and “personable.” Usually you only get one at the expense of the other, and oftentimes you get neither! Looks rad.
You do a truly formidable voice-over once again, Clint, as usual: fluent, full of tidbits of info, knowledgeable, enthousiastic and with just the right amount of wit and humour. I could listen to and watch this kind of stuff all day. Your travel vlog was ace as well!
my god the amount of of CRT Screens is glorious. Feels like all we need is someone to record this con with a VHS Camcorder from the 90s and Boom this whole thing will feel like a Gaming Show from the 90s.
The Cradle of Aviation has become a Long Island staple. What Andy, Seamus and their teams have built is incredible and unique. It's been a lot of fun watching Retro-Com (along with Cradle-Con aka the Long Island Comic-con) grow each year. Great coverage of a great weekend LGR
LOL - I live just up the road from this place along the north shore! My dad and I went to this place ALL THE TIME when I was a kid, though I never heard about the retro expo until recently after watching one of 8-Bit Guy's videos where he mentioned previously heading to it as well. Might come down one of these years to see what its all about! If anyone here is also a military history nerd like I am and has some time to spare - another great museum nearby in Bethpage is the Museum of American Armor. Lots of tanks, equipment, and ground vehicles that they sometimes do events and drive-arounds with!
Im the guy that brought the Prologue 21s and most of the other Saturn stuff to the museum. Great to see someone giving my favorite parts of the show some attention. The amount of hardware all setup and usable at one place, much of it stuff the average guy would never get a chance to try out is amazing at this show.
I’m from LI and had no clue this was even a thing! It’s also so fun to watch someone dissect their visit to a museum i’ve gone to so many times throughout my life. Hope you enjoyed!
One of these days I’ll get a chance to go to one of these vintage computer or game conventions. I’ve been in the hobby forever and yet to go to any of the conventions. Thanks to you I at least get to see a glimpse of what to expect. You have the best festival/convention coverage on UA-cam. Hands down! Keep up the amazing work you do!
thank you LGR for taking us along for the ride/tour I live in a very small Canadian city and we don't get anything like this hear or within a few hour drive.
we don't have shows like this at all in Denmark. At most there'll be some club gatherings, but nothing open to the public. Did however recently learn that there is a retro museum in a small town where we lived when I was little, on the other side of the country, so may have to go for a trip one day
@@thesteelrodent1796 I'm swedish and Retrospelsmässan in Gothenburg is the closest event like this that we get! I do recommend it, it's scheduled again this october :)
As a person who lived on LI for 20 years, it's always great to see others visit the Cradle of Aviation and the LIRGE! I never got to go to the Expo, but some friends of mine would go starting a few years back. Did hear about it's founding during my Senior Year of HS though, and the College Professor for the Gaming Club at my campus was there from the beginning! Cradle of Aviation, I've been to PLENTY of times though, whether it be from Cub Scouts, School Field Trips, etc. I'll definitely try to go back to LI to visit the Expo, hope to meet you there sometime!
I was one of the cosplay judges (the Edea Lee with bunny ears). Thank you for shouting out/showing some of our amazing entrants! It's such a talented bunch every year
I'd heard of this show before, but hadn't paid it much mind, but this video's sold me on it! A buddy and I are already talking about going next year. We're outside Ottawa, Canada and it's an 8 hour drive from my place to the museum's front door. The pinball free play alone is worth the trip for us and combine all this with an awesome aviation museum too? Hell yeah!
It took me like an hour to get through this video because I kept pausing to soak everything in! It's so dense, every single frame has so many things going on.
You really captured the vibe of this unique and truly wonderful event. I feel very lucky to live so close to LIRetro and The Cradle of Aviation Museum. This I a very special event. Great meeting you again and thanks for the cameo 😂
Also big shout out to that incredible arcade and Anatoly’s work with the LAN party and PC setup. I really enjoyed some Quake on the LAN like we did in the 90’s!
I did a double take at the thumbnail before realizing that was indeed the Cradle of Aviation. It sounds cheesy but it makes me happy knowing you had a great time in my area. A lot of people take that stuff for granted so seeing you having a blast and wanting to return is refreshing.
Heaven on earth. Looked like so much fun. Would love to be there at night with just some friends and no crowds. But perfect dreams can never come true 😂
I was there on Saturday August 10th and it was my third year attending the show. I knew you were gonna be there but for some reason missed you. The show is huge so it's easy to miss stuff. The first year I was there I didn't even realize that they had stuff on the other floors. The museum itself is awesome. I've been going to events held there for over a decade.
I love when cons are in non-convention center spaces. It gives the con such a sense of personality! I believe there are several conventions in the Cradle of Aviation. I've never been, but I have friends who have. And my partner is from LI so he got a bit of a surreal experience seeing your footage from the con.
Glad you made it to Long Island! I lived there for 35 years, and while the pace of life is insane, it was interesting. I too would suggest Amtrack for visiting LI/NYC... driving in and out sucks!!! Hope you had fun!
I went to the Cradle of Aviation all the time when I was a kid, I had no idea they did anything like this! Grew up on LI, but I haven't been home for more than like a day since like 2022
Oh! I watched a video from a Pokemon youtuber who went to this same event in order to do all the old event distributions you mentioned. What a great idea, I love it! Having it in such a cool space is just the cherry on top!
I’m glad you enjoyed the show! I hope you come back next year and spend some time in my import stories area. I remember meeting you and your brother but when my brain is in show mode I have no idea who anyone is lol
I love these videos you make about different conventions and shows! I would love to visit a lot of them and you are showing all the great things there are to see! Keep up great videos and sharing your awesome adventures! I'm a huge fan and I admire your dedication to the presentation of technology and gaming history!
I grew up over there -- you are right, there is no easy way to walk around the event because of where it's located. A major university, Hofstra, is located there as well, and all of those students were in the same boat. Terrible for college. But the venue is a REALLY need place!
Just in the video alone it is clear that this con has a cozy vibe going on instead of just being 'big hall with cool stuff'. It's the first time I see footage of a con and think "damn, I wish I could go myself".
This is so cool; This legit looks like one of the most interesting and unique convention venues for anything I've ever seen. I was in NY back in July, although I didn't explore Long Island. I'll have to check this museum, out next time for sure!
New York really always had to up to ante in just about everything, huh? This Expo looks amazing and has just about everything you'd want on a retro gaming expo. The only teeny-tiny gripe I didn't see is 90s Big Box games for sale. 😭😭 Other than that, you guys look like y'all had a fantastic week on this exhibit. Thank you for all the footage and IN-DEPTH detail on what this convention had to offer. LGR at his best! 😎
would so love your brother to maybe start an episode off, trying to mimic you. I bet many people wouldn't notice. Think it would be funny as hell. At least he doesn't mind being on camera now. Epic trip and coverage. Really enjoyed your trip into NY.
22:20 so glad to find a MSX there! The Panasonic A1WSX is a MSX 2+ only sold in Japan in early 90s, I bought one of these several years ago cause MSX 1 was my childhood computer, and it's my fave old computer. Thanks for the video resume, great job as always :)
You are free to walk anywhere you want. You can walk from your house right now to anywhere you want. Nobody is stopping you. The question is, will it be practical. You think I'm going to walk a mile in the hot sun across a 5 lane highway when it's 94 F out? Hell fucking no.
The cradle of aviation is, literally, around the corner from where I work. As a history nerd I go there fairly often. LIRGEX (I think that’s their acronym?) is something that sees signs all the time. I always mean to try and go for one day, perhaps I will finally next year.
I just want to say first off. You helped me and my daughter build a PC in 2020 and I am really FEELING the vibes on this video. I'm saying this with the most respect and love as a flight instructor and a train enthusiast, I love you're fandom of airplanes.
I wouldn’t be surprised if retro games and toys of LI was there as a vendor. One of my favorite retro gaming stores and it’s inside of a strip mall in Levittown. Great video by the way, now I want to go to this next year.
I would love to help setup and take down this event. Not sure why but I love working in areas where most people think as background. Being a maintenance worker I like the BACKROOMS 😉
that is simply unheard of! Thank you for sharing in such detail the machines that shone at that event with us!!😊 As a collector of japanese rare computer systems and consoles i can appreciate what was there. Did they display an MSX or Sharp X1 VHD game like Road Blaster or Time Gal?
Oooh. This venue reminds me of the venue of this local Toy Convention I was at. The convention center was actually an old centrifuge used for training astronauts. The main room is actually the main centrifuge chamber. That was so cool just to walk through
Oh I didn't know the Cradle of Aviation Museum hosted so many events. I once sold art at a comic convention that was held in it. The museum is vary spacious and nicely curated/landscape, its exhibits fit the vibe of a retro gaming convention way more! Also one of the only places on Long Island that didn't give me a headache driving there lol
I feel that this way of holding events has become or will become a trend. A retro convention and a museum seemed like a great combination. I hope more museums open their doors to events like this.
Saw you doing b-roll and timing didn't work to stop by your table to meet you. But this is a great profile and the show was fantastic. Hopefully next time.
This video made me so emotional idk why 😅 I was just completely mesmerized by the amount of stuff they had there and it just moved me to see people so dedicated to the history and preservation of retro gaming. What a beautiful display of appreciation.
I love even just the first 4 minutes of this video, thank you for even just a little bit to advocate for intercity and regional public transit and walkability. It’s always great to hear good urbanism takes from someone who makes content on completely different subjects.
Great video! This gets me hyped for my favorite time of year which is similar to this, the Houston Arcade Expo.I know it's a trek, but I hope one day you get to visit it. This year it's in October and it has a lot more than just Arcade and Pinball machines. There is a vendor row like what you showed here in this vid, a area set up for retro gaming including 6 mac computers set up for constant unreal tournament lan. This year Wang Chung is performing in the evening along with other live music. Best part is the convention floor tends to be open 24hours during the Expo to where playing 3am pinball is possible.
Hey! I'm the dude who runs the PokeLab! Thanks for the little feature in the video! Glad you enjoyed the Expo, Its always a fun time. Though setup and teardown are always a bit crazy!
Heard lots of kind words about the setup you had goin’ on, nice job with it! Wish we’d gotten a moment to chat, maybe next time :)

This expo really feels like it nails the balance between “professional” and “personable.” Usually you only get one at the expense of the other, and oftentimes you get neither!
Looks rad.
You do a truly formidable voice-over once again, Clint, as usual: fluent, full of tidbits of info, knowledgeable, enthousiastic and with just the right amount of wit and humour. I could listen to and watch this kind of stuff all day. Your travel vlog was ace as well!
Thank you!
my god the amount of of CRT Screens is glorious. Feels like all we need is someone to record this con with a VHS Camcorder from the 90s and Boom this whole thing will feel like a Gaming Show from the 90s.
LGR is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Hope to see you next year at the Long Island retro gaming convention.
He does seem like one of those people who would get along with just about anybody. We need more people like that.
I picked up a CRT monitor and HDMI->VGA adapter after we talked about it at this expo! Thanks for taking the time to explain how easy it could be.
I remember our talk about that, I hope it worked out for what you wanted!
I've never wanted to go to Long Island so badly in my life. This might honestly be the coolest convention I've ever seen.
I think there is supposed to be a really good arcade on Long Island.
This museum is awesome to visit on it's own. I can only imagine how cool a convention held inside of it would be.

23:47 the chinese man meeting the dragon furry was epic. cultures meet.
This was a fantastic look at the convention. Those arcades are wild!

I live under a rock apparently, I live 15 minutes away from the cradle of aviation and completely missed this…
There's several other conventioms there every year. Keep your eyes on their social media
I really enjoyed the travel vlog. I do sometimes like these long-form videos that I just leave playing ambiently in the corner of the room 😊
Wow. This seriously looks like the coolest convention ever.
Oh man, this is right in our backyard - Heard about the Expo, but never attended. Will DEFINITELY attend next year! Thanks for making this video!

It's mindblowing to me that in the US there are places as close as a mile away that you can't reach by walking.
You are free to walk anywhere you want. You can walk from your house right now to anywhere you want. Nobody is stopping you. The question is, will it be practical. You think I'm going to walk a mile in the hot sun across a 5 lane highway when it's 94 F out? Hell fucking no.
It was a pleasure meeting you in person finally! This video reminds me I need to put the badge i bought off you on my rig!
Loved the travel vlog! Can't wait to see the show. I plan to book a private room on Amtrak from Upper Michigan to Florida to visit a friend.
This made the kid in me light up. Thanks for covering it, I hope to join such a thing one day!
I volunteer at that museum as a docent. Probably one of my most favorite places on earth
Finally, a convention that combines my love of arcades, flea markets and aviation museums! 🤩
The cradle of aviation is, literally, around the corner from where I work. As a history nerd I go there fairly often. LIRGEX (I think that’s their acronym?) is something that sees signs all the time. I always mean to try and go for one day, perhaps I will finally next year.
yeees, train travel is always fun to see, I hope interstate travel in my country becomes a more common reliable inexpensive thing one day

As a collector of japanese rare computer systems and consoles i can appreciate what was there.
Did they display an MSX or Sharp X1 VHD game like Road Blaster or Time Gal?
Great review! I live on Long Island and love this convention. I missed it this year, but it looks like it was a great time.
That looks amazing , wish I could have gone. Thanks for the walk around, glad to see you hanging with your bro.
You've sold me...I'm going to try and make it next year...I wonder what the dates will be
i live on LI and never heard of this, really gotta check it out next year!
Oooh. This venue reminds me of the venue of this local Toy Convention I was at. The convention center was actually an old centrifuge used for training astronauts. The main room is actually the main centrifuge chamber. That was so cool just to walk through
I don't know, I think spending too long in a centrifuge chamber might give me Dead Space PTSD flashbacks.
19:25 omg it's Lego Island!!! that game is genuinely pure nostalgia. That has to have been the first PC game I've ever played...
So cool you covered this! I've visited this museum for years, it's the best. I got to go to the LI Retro Convention last year!
Need a LGR and Vinesauce teamup. Vinny has been to this convention every year.
I ran 5 of the tournaments this year, I didn't realize you went I would have stopped by! Probably passed your table a dozen times and didn't notice 😭
Aw dang! Yeah if I get another table next time I’ll have to deck it out and make it more obviously mine
I feel so lucky to live nearby! This was the first retro con I ever attended last year and it set the bar sky-high. (Pun intended)
I live on Long Island, i love this kind of stuff but wish i had someone to come with me to actually engage and educate me on it.
Oh I didn't know the Cradle of Aviation Museum hosted so many events. I once sold art at a comic convention that was held in it. The museum is vary spacious and nicely curated/landscape, its exhibits fit the vibe of a retro gaming convention way more! Also one of the only places on Long Island that didn't give me a headache driving there lol
Getting all those arcade games and CRT monitors in there and getting them all running must've been an absolute mission. Unreal. What an awesome show.
19:00 now THAT is a honourable (and fun) job!
Something hauntingly melancholy and existential about viewing The Immortal John Hancock in silence from behind glass.
i LOVE how this is styled like a Sims review video
I feel that this way of holding events has become or will become a trend. A retro convention and a museum seemed like a great combination. I hope more museums open their doors to events like this.
Would love to go to this museum and this event! Looks awesome.
Haha, I liked the couple people who looked like they recognized you while you were filming. 23:20 "Hey, I know you".
Saw you doing b-roll and timing didn't work to stop by your table to meet you. But this is a great profile and the show was fantastic. Hopefully next time.
Next time you find yourself in "The Big Apple" you gotta check out the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens - 30-45m from Penn Station.
Wish we had something like this where i live or close too it. I was always envious of the us when it comes to rare stuff and big conventions.
This video made me so emotional idk why 😅 I was just completely mesmerized by the amount of stuff they had there and it just moved me to see people so dedicated to the history and preservation of retro gaming. What a beautiful display of appreciation.
This is so incredibly cool. I wish we had an event like this over in Europe.
Just wanted to say, that trick with the mouse clicker for a background transition was smooth. 0:32
Bro, I adore you. I didn’t realize it but I’ve watched like everything you’ve posted. You’re just like comfort food.
