Chapter 106: Ten Years of Glory

Li Fangcheng patted Ling Donghua on the shoulder and said: "Huazi, you still need to work hard, there is no constraint on limiting data, when repeated operations, it is easy to break through the critical value and execute the next instruction, and the next instruction in this small scene can only be returned to the big map, it is not surprising that this situation occurs, it is normal." ”

"My fault!" Ling Donghua said in a deep voice.

"Just pay attention next time. Li Fangcheng said casually.

didn't say anything more, Li Fangcheng quickly tried the plot, because after clicking on the NPC with Li Fangcheng as the template, he told the protagonist that because he had just sent his friend Yang Buregret back to Guangmingding, he was now going down the mountain and going back to the Wudang faction, beware of someone chasing and killing.

Li Fangcheng controlled the characters out of the map, at this time he could only walk in a straight line, and the person who was chasing and killing really appeared, the protagonist accidentally fell off the cliff and met the white ape, and the white ape gave the peach, and the protagonist was moved, and found that the white ape was injured, and after helping the white ape heal, he accidentally got the Jiuyang True Scripture.

The protagonist thus learned martial arts, practiced in the valley, cut to the battle screen, and after fighting with wolves, dogs, tigers, etc., he asked the white ape, and the white ape would ask the protagonist if he wanted to leave the valley, Li Fangcheng thought about it and clicked no.

Turn around and continue to wander around, you will enter the battle screen again, after a few attempts in a row, the protagonist has been promoted to level 3, and even the Jiuyang Divine Skill has also been upgraded to level 3, Li Fangcheng opened the task interface and looked at it, and his brows furrowed suddenly.

With the interface closed, Li Fangcheng would continue to practice farming beasts in the valley.

Character level 4, Jiuyang True Scripture level 4......

......

Character level 6, Jiuyang True Scripture level 6......

Character level 7, Jiuyang True Scripture level 7......

......

Character level 9, Jiuyang True Scripture level 10!

Li Fangcheng stopped, and the problem really appeared!

As the level of the character increases, the amount of experience required will gradually accumulate, but the proficiency of the skill level is a constant value!

Now there is no need for Li Fangcheng to say anything, Ling Donghua immediately realized that this is another bug!

"I ...... I'll change it again!!" Ling Donghua's unwillingness was undoubtedly revealed.

"Is there a limit to the number of times you can encounter wild monsters in this valley?" Li Fangcheng continued.

"No ......"

"Then if the player trains to the full level here......" Li Fangcheng shook his head. This is another bug!

"So what should you do to limit the level? or the number of times. Ling Donghua's face was ugly, and he didn't dare to ask with certainty.

"Huazi, you are the person in charge of this project, you ask me?" Li Fangcheng said disappointedly.

"Boss, I'm ......"

Fluster!

For the first time in Ling Donghua's relationship with Li Fangcheng, he was in a panic!

All of a sudden, I was a little overwhelmed.

Li Fangcheng saw all this in his eyes, and said lightly for a long time: "It's not terrible if there is a problem, but what is terrible is that I don't know what the problem is." ”

With a little heartache, he sighed softly: "Do you know how Atari was defeated? Do you know how much damage Nintendo's red and white machine has caused because of a single button?"

Looking at Ling Donghua's blank eyes, Li Fangcheng sighed, Atari in this era, who really knows its complete origin to demise story, I am afraid that only companies that have come over from that era can know, such as Nintendo, is to absorb the consequences of Atari's failure very well, so as to be so strict with the third party.

Li Fangcheng asked Ying Qinglian to call Meng Hao and Hua Xiaohan to come over, and when everyone was together, they found a conference room, which slowly explained to everyone when Atari had only been in existence for ten years.

The fall of Atari had extremely complex conditions, and to put it simply, the decade from 1972 to 1983 was full of magnificence.

Atari's original team consisted of a group of engineers with a passion for video games, founded by Nolan Bushnell. In 1972, Atari's coin-operated arcade machine "PONG" was arguably the first commercially successful video game in global history.

In 1973, Atari picked up a hoe and poached the skilled engineers of other companies into its own company, and began to develop a new generation of game consoles!

This point is very similar to what Li Fangcheng did, digging powerful people into his own company, but in the miracle era, it was a whole company! Because of Atari's affairs, it also sounded a wake-up call for Li Fangcheng!

Let's talk about Atari's development first, the development project of the new game console is named "Stella", and its core is a fully functional CPU.

Later, the Atari 2600 was paired with this CPU!

It created an unprecedented myth for the entire history of video games: after its launch in 1977, in just five years from 1977 to 1982, Atari used this console to tap the largest pot of gold in the American video game market at that time, and Atari's performance grew at an unimaginable rate!

In 1976, the year before the launch of the Atari 2600, the company's brand value, even if it was a commercial game console, was only worth $30 million, but then it appreciated more than 60 times in six years, until it was worth more than $2 billion!

By the time the U.S. video game industry reached $3.2 billion in sales, Atari had the lion's share of the market.

It can be said that it is completely superior to any person, which is almost dominating the world,

Of course, at that time, Atari actually had another enemy at the beginning, that is, in August 1976, Fairchild Semiconductor also developed its own game console.

At that time, when the world's electronic storage devices were basically still tapes and 5.25-inch floppy disks, HP invented a cartridge as a portable read-only memory, and this cartridge was used in game consoles by Line Semiconductor!

As the first company to use cassette, there were already unique conditions, at this time Fairchild Semiconductor used the advantages of cassette to seize a lot of market share, and even began to use cassette.

At this time, Atari realized the serious consequences of the problem, and in December 1977, the Atari 2600, which had been developed with an investment of $100 million, was launched on the market.

And the launch of this game console, just like Nintendo's FC, has encroached on most of the market in just two years.

At this time, Atari did not expect that Fairchild Semiconductor actually thought that the video game industry had no future, so in 1988, it gradually withdrew from the market.

Now Atari lost its enemies and completely swelled!

Fairchild's actions led to Atari's market share growth wildly in 1979. With excellent performance and a large number of high-quality games with no competitors, the Atari 2600 became the best-selling Christmas gift of 1979!

So much so that there is actually such a reason why the host chose to release it on Christmas Eve.

This tradition began at the Atari.

Of course, it's not a random mess, but because Christmas is also the New Year in the West, teenagers at this time generally have gifts from their parents, and game consoles are a good choice.

At least one million Atari 2600s were sold that year, and at the time it was priced at $199!!

The whole market is completely ignited!

But at this time, Atari's crazy behavior gathered countless funds for the company, but did not give too many rewards and encouragement to the meritorious engineers, which directly caused the dissatisfaction of the four internal engineers, and then quit Atari and started anew, establishing Activision, the first third-party developer in the history of video games.

Because the situation at that time was just like what I said before, engineers could not participate in the ownership of the game, so whether the game sold well or not, and how much it sold, had nothing to do with the engineer, there was no dividend, and there was no authorship.

So it's just independent!

Prior to this, console manufacturers were directly contracted for hardware production and software production, and console manufacturers were the only game developers on the platform.

For example, Atari is the sole game developer of the Atari 2600, and if there is no third-party company Activision, Nintendo would be the only game developer for DC.

The game developers of every game console are fixed and self-produced, so there will be no future glory of Nintendo!

And the emergence of this third-party company, Activision, also accelerated the defeat of Atari.

Activision has always been committed to making good games, and the credit of every engineer is honored, all games produced by Activision will see the list of production staff, and make not fun peripherals, and even launched the concept of leaderboards in the game, as long as you are on the list, you can go to Atari to get a merchandise.

At this moment, Atari is still distracted, and wants to make a personal computer, and wants to upgrade the Atari 2600, but at all, he doesn't devote himself to making games, but on the other hand, Activision has come out with a lot of fun games one after another, and even suppressed Atari's own games.

As a result, the lawsuit that began in 1980 ended in Atari after 1982!

Li Fangcheng paused when he said this.

At the beginning, the Age of Miracles was not defined by many people as the original group of people? How could so many games be made in three months? So at first, no one would take the Age of Miracles to heart, and it was not until Christmas Night that the staggering amount of income generated really played the prestige of the Age of Wonders!

Shaking his head, looking at the shocked and thoughtful expressions on the faces of the people below, Li Fangcheng quickly finished the rest.
