Retro PC and Video Game Swap Meet

Super Abari Game Bar is hosting a Retro PC and Video Game Swap Meet on Saturday, October 17, from 11 AM to 2 PM. It's a straightforward setup: vendors will be there selling vintage games and retro PC systems, so if you've been looking for a specific old title or a piece of hardware from a couple of decades ago, this is where you'll find it.

Since it's a swap meet, the focus is on the stuff on the tables. You'll find vintage games and retro PC systems—the kind of things that usually only turn up in online listings or at the back of a basement. It's the sort of event where you can actually see the condition of a cartridge or a case before you buy it, rather than relying on a few blurry photos. If you're into old-school gaming or collecting early computing, it's a good chance to dig through what's on hand and maybe walk away with something you've been hunting for a while.

It's a short window—three hours on a Saturday morning—so you don't have to clear your whole day for it. If you're coming to buy, getting there closer to 11 AM is usually the move before the best stuff gets snapped up. If you're just browsing, it's a low-pressure way to spend a couple of hours in a room full of old tech.

The swap meet runs from 11 AM to 2 PM at Super Abari Game Bar in Charlotte, and it's free to attend.
