twenty-one

Cao Changjiu talked with Director Mei for a long time, and argued with reason, but he still didn't get the support of the old director, but was educated, and he was extremely depressed, but he still agreed to Cao Changjiu borrowing the things in the institute to do it himself.

"I said no, you still don't believe it, who is Director Mei, his eyes are poisonous. Li Mengyang smiled proudly, "But don't be discouraged, Director Mei doesn't agree with you to use our equipment, you can do it yourself." ”

Cao Changjiu drooped his head, looking not emotional: "It's just that I'm uncomfortable, I'm telling the truth, why can't Director Mei listen to it?"

"It's not good for you to tell the truth, or Director Mei has his own reasons, anyway, everyone goes their own way, what's the big deal. You are confident in your design, and you can see if it is a mule or a horse. ”

Cao Changchang was still unhappy and sighed.

"Why are you so unenergetic at a young age, what a sigh! I can't stand this little blow, come, my brother will take you to have fun." ”

"Huh, big brother, I'm only 15 years old and can't go to see bad things!"

"Phew, do you want to see it yet, let's go to the big world to play, there are good things there, game consoles imported from Japan, it's exciting. ”

"Ahh But it's right to think about it, now the game console should have just entered the mainland, and the current definition is advanced entertainment facilities, far from the point where it will be shouted and killed later.

I still vaguely remember the process of dumping the ROM of the arcade machine as an emulator, and I miss it very much.

It's good to go and see it, and also remember the old game, Cao Changchang thought to himself.

But...... "It's expensive to play with that thing!" Cao Changchang said.

"Don't worry, it's my buddies who watch the scene, and I play casually. Li Mengyang patted his chest.

"That's going to be easy. ”

~~~~~

Although they went to play, the two waited until they arrived and hitchhiked to the big world.

When I arrived at the place, I happened to meet the buddy who Li Mengyang said locked the door.

Li Mengyang shouted: "Heizi, let's eat together!" startled Cao Changjiu again.

The one named Kuroko turned around and smiled: "It's you kid, what's the matter, a treat?"

Li Mengyang: "The bonus has been paid, go out and have a tooth sacrifice." ”

Kuroko replied, "Wait until I lock the door." ”

Cao was puzzled for a long time, didn't he say that he was having fun, why did he lock the door, and it didn't look like he was going to continue to open.

The three of them entered a state-run restaurant, asked for a few dishes, and began to eat.

Li Mengyang and Heizi asked for a bottle of wine, and Cao Changjiu asked for a bottle of orange juice, and the three of them chatted while eating.

After chatting for a while, Cao Changjiu learned that Heizi had been a soldier before, and after returning home, he found a relationship to be the administrator of this game room, which is still state-run!

He and Big Li grew up in the same yard when they were young, and after the game room opened, Big Li became famous, and the two met smoothly and became sworn friends again.

Big Li was obsessed with playing game consoles, and his little salary was definitely not enough, so he had to rely on the relationship between sunspots to play. Of course, Big Li is also a conscious person, he doesn't come during the day when people are open, and he chooses to come over at night to play with sunspots all night.

And he doesn't play in vain, there is a little problem with these game consoles, and he is happy to be free, and it is up to him.

It's not here again today, and I brought a little brother with me.

After eating and drinking, Kuroko waved his hand: "Let's go, I still have something to trouble brother today, a machine I just entered today can't be adjusted well, you can do it." ”

Li Mengyang hurriedly said: "No problem, it's on me, let's do things first, and then start practicing." ”

When he arrived at the game room, Kuroko turned on the light, pointed to his hand and said, "That's it, good guy, it's just not well tuned, and it will bloom as soon as it opens." ”

Li Mengyang took off his clothes, turned on the electric fan, and immediately started drying.

Heizi took out a handful of coins, handed it to Cao Changjiu and said, "You play first, Da Li and I are busy." ”

Cao Changjiu took the game currency and looked around. The game consoles here seem to be all genuine imports, and the fuselage is covered with colorful game posters, thinking that all the games they play in their dreams are pirated games, and some don't even have a sound, Cao Changchang sighed that the children of this era are really happy.

Although the appearance of the game console is luxurious, there are not many games, almost all of them are shooting, which is also due to the international environment.

In the 70s, the Americans invented arcade machines, which caused a frenzy in the homeland, and because of the lack of functionality, the content was simple blocks and cursors, so shooting games became popular.

In 78, the Japanese Tomohiro Nishikaku borrowed from the arcade shooter of the Americans and wrote a shooting game called "Space Invaders", which even he did not expect to be a great success.

How popular is this game? It can be said that the publisher TAITO was really embarrassed to make money, and he also gave Tomohiro Nishikaku another tens of millions of yen. In Japan, due to the popularity of this game, there is a serious shortage of 100 yen coins for coinage, and the Ministry of Finance has to announce an urgent mint of new coins on the market.

TAITO'S CRAZY MONEY-GRABBING NATURALLY AROUSED THE EYES OF OTHERS, AND BECAUSE THE ARCADE INDUSTRY AT THAT TIME HAD A LOW THRESHOLD, BUYING SOMEONE ELSE'S BOARD AND THEN USING THE EXCHANGE TO WRITE A FEW SENTENCES OF THE PROGRAM WAS A GAME, SO OVERNIGHT, ALL KINDS OF "SPACE INVADERS" IMPROVED, TRANSFORMED, ENHANCED, AND CLONE VERSIONS WERE INTRODUCED, THE CONTENT WAS SIMILAR, AND THE GAMEPLAY WAS ALMOST THE SAME, WHICH EVENTUALLY LED TO THE OVERALL DEPRESSION OF THE GAME INDUSTRY IN 1983

What Cao Changchang sees now is the product of that time, more than a dozen machines are different, but the gameplay screen is almost the same. He smiled wryly, turned on a random machine and began to relive the feeling of the past.

At first, he was still a little interested, and the nostalgia felt good, after all, it was still the golden age of the arcade industry, the quality of the game had not dropped significantly, and the lack of picture quality was completely covered by playability, so Cao Changjiu was still a little interested.

Just playing and playing, I found that it seemed that Da Li and Heizi had been doing it for a long time, and they were still nesting there to make trouble. Why does it take so long, these things are very simple. He turned his head strangely and saw that the two of them had already disassembled the machine and were fighting.

Cao Changjiu stopped playing the game and ran over to help. In his dreams, he was also the number one person in the simulator world, proficient in all arcade systems, and had cloned a few games for pirates back then, making a lot of money.

And in the afternoon!
