About Us
Patrick and Rita were founding members of RetroGameCon in Syracuse, NY. RetroGameCon a gaming convention, specializing in retro games. This convention celebrates all types of gaming including board games, card games, and video games. It has expanded to also include nerd pop culture such as comic books, art, YouTube celebrities, and more. The event began with 300 people and doubled every year they were involved.
Rita began as the Convention Coordinator, moved to Head of Event Activities, and then became Assistant Director. She also has extensive experience with fundraisers for Sarah's Guest House from 2012-2016, starting out as a Committee Member increasing responsibility to become the Event Chairperson in 2015 and 2016.
These experiences led to her finding a job as an events planner at a top University in NYC!

Patrick and Rita attend many video game conventions, wrestling events, and pop culture shows. They wanted to share what is out there, as well as all of the fun things they find "out in the wild."

Patrick and Rita are avid video game collectors. At first, we started collecting any and all video games. But, since there are so many out there… we had to make some tough decisions! Our current goals include obtaining every American video game console (plus the Famicom...) and a complete Original Nintendo (NES) collection.
We currently own Gizmo's Video Games & Wrestling. We had a physical location in North Syracuse, New York from 2014-2018. Now, we continue to sell items online through our eBay store, website, and at conventions.
