Livro BGS

A COLLECTION OF WINNINGS The relevance of Brasil Game Show, the largest gaming event in Latin America, is unquestionable. But whoever sees the current grandiosity of this event, might not even imagine it all began with an unpretentious barbecue to gather a few dozen video game fans. That's right, barbecue with video games! Over the years, the numbers kept rising. Since 2009, more than 2,1 millions people have visited BGS, which currently takes a total area of approximately 90 thousand square meters. That makes it one of the world's largest gaming industry event in terms of floor area and mandatory for both fans and industry leaders. This whole structure was born from Marcelo Tavares' dream. A fan of video games since childhood, Marcelo started collecting games in 1989 and has not stopped ever since. Considered to be the biggest collector of video games in Brazil, he has more than 350 consoles. Not to mention over 4,000 games, hundreds of magazines, books and action- figures that are also part of his collection. So much dedication and investment made Marcelo figure out a way to work with his passion. He has organized events for friends, has written for specialized magazines, hosted TV shows on games... until, in 2009, he decided to try something bigger, and it was from this further step that was born this phenomenon that Brasil Game Show is today. This book brings the details of such passion and persistence.
