      That's true, friend. Due to the financial difficulties that plagued Brazilians for many years, several consoles were launched late in Brazil, and all users have always treated their consoles very well. This generated a great affection for retro games, as many only manage to fulfill their childhood dreams in adulthood, buying consoles and games.

    This was by far, my favorite video on your channel. At 54 years old, I grew up on Pong, then 2600, then Intellivision, 5200, 78000, and every console thereafter.
    You are a great host, and was so nice to see all the Brazilian community come together to share a passion of retro-gaming.
    Their graciousness towards you must have been a bit emotional...knowing who you are and giving gifts. Soooo nice.
    I look forward to the future videos of your trip. Very fun to watch.

    It's hard to put into words how glad and grateful I was to meet John and Sarah, so I'm going to ask Goma for a little help with this!
    John and Sarah, not only you were one of the best birthday presents I ever got, but also certainly my greatest and best memory of Retrocon 2024! John, thank you for accepting our invitation and especially for being such a nice and awesome guy. And Sarah, thank you for being by John's side and being so kind and cheerful. As my wife Gigi said, you are the cutest American couple we know! It's such an honor to be able to call you friends! I'm so thankful to Gilão (Mr. Games), Cleber (WarpZone) and especially Tiozão (A Casa do Videogame) for the chance to be part of Retrocon and making so many unforgettable memories like this! John and Sarah, thank you so much for everything!

    16:30 Sexta Feira 13 ( Friday the 13th) is how we used to call the game Halloween in Brazil. Halloween (the festivity) was actually not a thing in Brazil back then whereas Friday the 13th (the movie) was huge, and therefore more relatable for us. What's more, the character in the game really resembles Jason, so there you have it.

    John, I didn’t know about you before you were announced as a guest at Retrocon. When I saw the announcement, I looked you up and discovered that you’re an amazing guy! Your content is great, and you’re so genuine and passionate about games. This video was fantastic to watch! Also, thank you for joining me in a video (I’m the person who asked for a game recommendation and you suggested I play Ice Hockey). I’m still new to content creation, and yet you were incredibly friendly to me. That meant a lot. Thank you!!

    About the PS1 Greatest Hits, since the first Playstation was never officially released in Brazil, all we had here were imported consoles and cheap pirate copies of games. Back in the day, I never saw an official Playstation CD (other than the demo disc that came along with the console). One of the reasons for the PS (and the PS2 as well) becoming so popular in Brazil was due to this fact. You could have a lot of games on the cheap.
