Robyn came to Ottumwa, Iowa -- the “Video Game Capital of the World” -- during the Ottumwa’s Old School Arcade Galaxies of Gaming event, where she learned more about Ottumwa’s legacy as the “birthplace” of organized, competitive eSports -- and even met many of the original early-80s superstars who were on hand for the 1982 Life Photograph Reunion. Plus, Robyn was present to witness Empire Arcadia leader & Founder Isaiah TriForce Johnson be inducted into the International Video Game Hall of Fame (IVGHOF) as a member of the Class of 2016.
