Chapter 134: Arcade Hall
Most people now think that video games are still a novelty.
In fact, video games have been around for more than fifty years.
In the early days of video games, it was very simple, just a bunch of pixels drawn together, and the picture was miserable. The "mountain" in the game is the undulating wave line, and the "city" in the game is the rectangle and square of different heights, symbolizing high-rise buildings.
Such an extremely simple picture is not even as good as the stick figure of a primary school student, and if the player wants to play this kind of game, he must have a rich imagination and make up the picture world of the game in his own brain.
Therefore, in the early days of video games, even in an era of lack of entertainment, video games were still difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and they were only a very niche hobby.
It wasn't until later, when mature pixel games such as "Snake" and "Tetris" were born in the world, that people gradually discovered that games were actually very fun. The real glory of video games was in the 80s and 90s, when technology could bring smooth side-scrolling 2D game graphics to arcade screens.
The era of arcades has arrived.
When the post-80s and post-90s generations were young, the era when Internet cafes had not yet emerged, they should have experienced the era of arcade halls. At that time, all kinds of elementary school, middle school, and high school students went to the arcade hall, even if they didn't have money to buy coins to play games, watching others play games seemed to be a great pleasure.
At that time, prices were cheap, and one dollar could buy several coins, but playing arcade machines was still a luxury for ordinary elementary school students. At that time, the main arcade games that were popular were "The King of Fighters 98", "Dinosaur Kombat", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Journey to the West", "Captain Hook", "Street Fighter" and so on. The people who can clear the customs with one coin, they are the great gods of the gods, and they are worshiped by the elementary school students in the entire arcade hall.
That feeling, just like if you walk into an Internet café now, silently open "League of Legends", and the bar directly reminds 008 that the good machine is the strongest king from the War College, it will attract countless people to worship at once. That feeling, not to mention how sour.
However, in fact, in order to make money, the arcade owner of the cheating father jumped the difficulty of the game to a huge level, and most players had to constantly put coins in order to clear the level. And most players often can't clear the level after investing a few coins, so they can only look at the arcade screen with hatred and cry silently. At this time, if there is a bystander who throws coins for you, needless to say, he will be your good brother for life!
Of course, just as there are some crazy players in online games now, there are naturally all kinds of opportunistic gods in the arcade hall. Because the coin in the arcade hall is very simple, it is a round iron piece similar to a coin, which causes many gods to use their brains.
Those who take the commemorative coins and half keys at home to try to fool through the customs are already very conscientious, and even worse, they directly smash the caps of beer bottles together, pile up a few of them, and occasionally get through the customs in a fool's way. However, once such behavior is discovered by the owner of the arcade hall, it will definitely be a hanging!
After the era entered the year 2000, the birth of Internet cafes announced the end of the arcade era, and computer games such as "Red Alert", "CS", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", and "Diablo 2" replaced arcade games and became the new favorite of the game industry.
Until now, even client online games are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history, and the era has entered the years when mobile games are kings, and the new generation of children are holding mobile phones, playing "Onmyoji" and "Glory of Kings", and they don't know anything about the passing arcade era.
But as we all know, "feelings" are a very terrible thing, it can bring back a dead thing, and arcade machines are a kind of feeling for many post-80s, post-90s and even post-70s. With nostalgia, you can make money with nostalgia, so every city has nostalgic arcade halls.
Sometimes I'm tired of playing mobile games and online games, and it's actually quite good to go back and experience the feeling of playing arcade with a joystick.
Wang Xiaolian is a post-80s generation, and the arcade hall in this dynamic era is where Wang Xiaoliang often comes to the nostalgic place, and Wang Xiaoliang Yue Yang Xiaotian came here to meet.
However, Wang Xiaolian is a public figure, and his popularity is too high to have fun with the people, so he directly chartered the scene.
Wang Xiaolian only allowed Yang Xiaotian to enter this arcade hall.
"Hello sir, our arcade has been chartered!"
When Yang Xiaotian came to the arcade hall, he was directly stopped by the security guards.
"My name is Yang Xiaotian!" Yang Xiaotian smiled lightly, "It should be my friend Wang Xiaoliang who chartered the venue." ”
"It turns out that you are Mr. Yang Xiaotian, please come in!" the security guard hurriedly made a "please" gesture.
The security guard did not suspect Yang Xiaotian's identity.
The first is that Wang Xiaotian allowed Yang Xiaotian to enter, it is impossible for strangers to know, let alone someone to pretend to be Yang Xiaotian.
The second is that Yang Xiaotian is followed by Xu Lili and Su Ye, two big beauties, the group is brightly dressed and has an extraordinary bearing, it seems that they are not idle characters, and they are also worthy of being Wang Xiaolian's friends.
Yang Xiaotian smoothly entered the arcade hall.
In the arcade hall, Wang Xiaoliang is playing "Dinosaur Kombat".
I have to say that Wang Xiaoshallot played the game quite well, he manipulated the cuckold workers, passed all the way, and rarely invested coins to continue his life.
Wang Xiaolian was playing with his heart, and he didn't seem to notice Yang Xiaotian's arrival.
Yang Xiaotian was standing behind Wang Xiaoliang, and Wang Xiaoliang was still playing games.
I don't know if Wang Xiaolian is intentional, deliberate, or deliberate?
Yang Xiaotian was not in a hurry, he was very patient to watch Wang Xiaoliang play games.
Anyway, the game "Dinosaur Kombat" is not long, and Wang Xiaoshao has an unlimited supply of coins, so there is no problem in clearing the customs all the way. If Wang Xiaoliang was playing "Black Soul 3", Yang Xiaotian would directly shut down Wang Xiaoliang!
Finally, Wang Xiaoliang's "Dinosaur Kombat" has cleared the customs.
"You're Yang Xiaotian, right? You and I are both small characters, interesting!" Wang Xiaoshallot said without replying, "You are a very patient person, you can actually watch me finish the game!"
Yang Xiaotian said: "It's also a kind of fun to watch you play games, after all, arcade games like "Dinosaur Kombat" are also my childhood!
Wang Xiaolian turned around at this time, and he found that Miss Zhang was not lying, Yang Xiaotian was more handsome than him, and he was taller than him.
"Sounds like you're also a game-savvy guy?" Wang Xiaolian looked at Yang Xiaotian and said.
Yang Xiaotian said: "Our generation has grown up with games at all, and there are very few people who can't play games. ”
