About FRAG’s Retro Zone

The Federation of Retro and Arcade Gamers (FRAG) was formed in 2009, hosting its first event called the Retro Gamer Challenge. The RGC became a recurring competition at FRAG events over the next 9 years.

In 2018, the Retro World Expo (RWX) invited FRAG to bring its RGC to the convention under the new title: Ultimate Gamer Challenge, and it has been a part of the Expo ever since.

Having grown in experience and notoriety, in 2025 FRAG decided to establish a permanent location—a place for gaming and community—and on April 5th, FRAG’s Retro Zone opened its doors.
