March 5, 1979, 8:30 a.m., Los Angeles Convention Center, USA.

All the exhibitors began to enter the venue in an orderly manner, and they had to enter the venue half an hour earlier than the buyers. The male employees of Heiyun Group are still in fashionable suits as always, always leading the trend of the times, which can be said to be a scenery at the exhibition. However, compared with male employees, although the female employees of Heiyun Group are wearing clothes that are okay, they are really a little unmatched.

Still adhering to the consistent corporate tradition of Heiyun, none of the female employees of Heiyun are good-looking. As Heiyun became more and more famous, there were also many beautiful women who went to interviews, but they were all brushed off. There are also many capable and beautiful women who come to the interview, but these people can't even pass the first hurdle. This is also a kind of xenophobia for the change of female employees in Heiyun, and it has even become a corporate culture.

Beauty doesn't have a place to live here, but it makes men more productive, and it also makes their wives or women very supportive of the black cloud tradition.

At 9 o'clock, the exhibition hall was opened to the public. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the exhibition hall of Heiyun Group, which is indeed a bit annoying for peers, which is too unreasonable. The comparison with the Black Cloud Exhibition Hall is simply the comparison between the palace and the thatched house, which makes these enterprises that have been developed for about a hundred years very unhappy.

However, for buyers, they must go in and see what products Heiyun Group has developed this year. They are very much looking forward to it, if there is a suitable one, they should place an order as soon as possible, and they can make money one day earlier if they get the goods one day earlier.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, all the lights in the exhibition hall of Heiyun Group were dimmed, and the brightest place was the back stage. Everyone knows that Heiyun Group wants to announce new products, after all, there is a detailed introduction in the guidance manual of Heiyun Exhibition.

Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto made their way to the center of the stage, where the table above the stage was covered with a red cloth. It should be the new product to be released this time, and many reporters have already set up their cameras and started shooting. At the same time, ABC TV also broadcast live to the whole of the United States.

Junhei Yokoi picked up the microphone and said, "Thank you for coming. I'm Junhei Yokoi, General Manager and Director of Hardware Development Department of Kuromo Games. ”

Miyamoto Hat: "I'm Miyamoto Hat, Deputy General Manager and Director of Game Development Department of Black Cloud Games. ”

Junhei Yokoi: "After about a year and a half of development of the game console by our Black Cloud game engineers, we are finally going to meet you today, and we named this home game console FC Red and White Machine. ”

After speaking, he picked up the red cloth on the table, and everyone could clearly see a game console with red and white colors on the table, and at the same time, the photographer gave a close-up of the game console, which all the children could see on TV.

Junhei Yokoi: "The performance of this game console is very advanced, CPU: Ricoh 6502 chip, CPU frequency: 1.8MHz

Screen: The total number of colors is 52, and a maximum of 13 colors can be displayed on the same screen

Sound source: mono, 2 rectangular waves, 1 triangle wave, 1 murmur, 1 PCM synthesized source"

"Red & White Machine-FC Features FC uses an 8-bit CPU made of a black cloud chip, with 2KB of memory and video memory. An image controller (PPU) that can display 64 colors can display 2 layers of scrolls and 5 pages, of which 2 background pages each occupy 1KB of video memory, and due to the limitation of video memory, a maximum of 16 colors can be displayed. A programmable sound generator (PSG) provides 4 analog channels and 1 PCM digital channel, which provides continuous background sound. ”

"Now that we've introduced the product's features, we're going to try it out. There are a lot of games to choose from on this console, including Xiangjiang Cube, Pac-Man, Snake, The Legend of Senna, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, and many more. ”

"Miyamoto-kun is an expert in this regard, so it's better for the two of us to choose what game to play. ”

Miyamoto hat: "Then play our classic game Donkey Kong, after all, this is the first game I've opened." ”

After speaking, the two of them picked up the Donkey Kong game cartridge and inserted it into the FC red and white machine card slot, and the Donkey Kong game screen immediately appeared on the TV screen behind.

The two of them played on the spot and saw the smooth cooperation between the two. As well as the clear picture and texture, everyone at the scene was shocked.

Just as the two of them were showing the game console to the world on stage, two RB men were whispering to each other not far from them.

A man said, "Yamauchi-kun, how does our game console compare to the FC red and white machine of Black Cloud. ”

The man who was called Yamauchi-kun said: "I have to admit that our game consoles have not yet been listed, and we are at least one level behind in the field of home game consoles with Black Cloud Games." ”

"At that time, I really shouldn't have let these two traitors go, even if they died, they should have died in Nintendo. ”

These two men are Sony Akio Morita and Nintendo Yamauchi Hiro, who are now carefully observing the Black Cloud FC red and white machine.

Akio Morita: "Yamauchi-kun, it's useless to talk about this now, let's think about how we can improve our own products! And our game consoles still don't go on a large scale, we want games without games, we want performance without performance, and now we can only promote them as an excessive product." ”

Bao Zixuan didn't know what the two old guys were talking about, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, he was watching the situation on the stage carefully at this time.

Junhei Yokoi: "As you've seen, our console sells for $99. At the same time, 2 game cartridges are given, and the game cartridges can be selected arbitrarily. If you sell the game cartridge alone, it will cost $10 per cartridge. ”

"This was followed by a Q&A session, in which we invited three journalists to ask questions, and the rest of the questions would be answered by the workers. ”

A beautiful reporter asked: "Mr. Yokoi, when will the FC red and white machine be launched?" ”

Junhei Yokoi: "It will be available after the exhibition, and now the manufacturing center in Xiangjiang is stepping up the time to stock up. ”

Another reporter asked: "What kind of performance TV is this game console suitable for to work with, or must you buy the Black Cloud TV Festival." ”

Junhei Yokoi: "Theoretically, any TV set is fine, and we have designed three different interfaces. The interface is able to meet most TV needs on the market, unless the home is a specially customized TV festival, this is not a problem. ”

Hearing this, many TV manufacturers are relieved a lot,If it is really incompatible with black cloud game consoles, then it is also a big loss for TV sales。

The last middle-aged man reporter asked: "Mr. Yokoi, is this game console plagiarized from the design concept of the Atari 2600?" ”

This question is a bit heart-wrenching, but fortunately, Yokoi Junhei has been prepared.

Junhei Yokoi: "I would like to make it clear that home consoles are a sentiment, and no one can register a brand or a patent. This is just a general term, and as for you saying that the FC red and white machine copied the Atari 2600, it is even more nonsense. ”

"From the gamepad we used the D-pad, which is a Black Cloud patent, and they used the directional override stick. The performance of game consoles is even stronger, how to plagiarize. Your question is an insult to the Black Cloud engineer, please investigate it again next time, after all, you don't fully understand the performance of this console. ”

In a not very friendly situation, the first product of Black Cloud ended the recommendation. This is just a small episode, even Atari could not find evidence of plagiarism, and at the beginning of the design, Bao Zixuan asked the engineers to avoid all possible patent barriers.

After Junhei Yokoi and Miyamoto walked off the stage, many buyers gathered around and began to negotiate business. I want to get this game console as soon as possible, after all, this is a product that can make money when you get the goods.

After a period of rest, Panasonic representatives came to the stage to introduce the refrigerator, this main energy-saving refrigerator is still very marketable, more energy-saving than the products launched by Siemens in September last year, it seems that Panasonic has really invested in research and development this time.
