This group calling themselves "Providence Geeks" had a booth set up
with a 2600/7800 multigame unit and an original Vectrex with a few

They were set up so anyone could play them and where keeping track of
high scores with a spreadsheet.

I live in providence and I never have. Dude knew some people from the
RCS/RI (RetroComputing Society of RI, collectors of things larger than
microcomputers) so maybe it's a pretty new thing? They are having a
gathering sept 13th, I'll probably check it out.
