With significant numbers, Brasil Game Show has already consolidated itself as the largest gaming event in Latin America and one of the main events of the world. In ten editions, more than 1.5 million visitors attended BGS and could enjoy thousands of games, exclusive attractions, and see the big names of the industry worldwide, such as Hideo Kojima, Phil Spencer, Nolan Bushnell and Ed Boon. To help people remember or find out the highlights of the event history and get to know the details and backstage of the incredible journey that started in 2009 in Rio de Janeiro, BGS launched a special edition of “Brasil Game Show – The Book” published by Europa, with chapters about the ten editions, including historical BGS10, texts in Portuguese and English, hardcover, exclusive packaging and fully revised layout. In a limited edition, the new book is already available for purchase at BGS website (www.brasilgameshow.com.br ) and it costs 99 BRL.

More than a summary of the 10 editions of Brasil Game Show, the book brings the inspiring story about the entrepreneurship of Marcelo Tavares, creator of the event and one of the biggest collectors of games in Brazil, with a collection of 350 consoles of all generations and more than 4,000 games.

“Our goal is to share with gamers not only the main moments of the event, but also some striking episodes of the industry history in the country,” says Marcelo, noting that the book also tells a bit about his personal path, that began as a passion for video games in his childhood and became the dream to bring BGS to more than 300,000 visitors on each edition. “In this book, the reader will follow the first part of a long road that is far from over. The 11th edition of BGS in 2018 already has big names confirmed and promises to be even better than the last and the beginning of a new chapter,” he adds.
