The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast

The PRGE Tapes II is here! We're back from the Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2026 with a special episode packed with interviews, stories, and plenty of Sierra nostalgia! We caught up with Sierra legends, game developers, musicians, documentary filmmakers, and fellow adventure game fans to talk about their projects, memories, and experiences at PRGE. We also share some of our favourite moments from the weekend, including the Sierra Legends Museum, live game sessions, panels, and the unforgettable Boomer Jam. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to chat with us and helped make this weekend so memorable! Check out all our guests and their projects below!
