In April 2017, the International Game Developers Association of Sacramento (the Sacramento chapter of IGDA) held its 4th annual Sac Indie Arcade, once again in West Sacramento – and once again inviting volunteers from the annual Atari Party in Davis (usually) to bring some retrogaming & retrocomputing gear.
This year, Bill Kendrick (Atari Party founder & host) and Dan DeVriend brought:
