Chapter 282: Atari Cyber Pet
Henry asked the world's major media to attend Atari's upcoming product launch.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted great attention from the industry.
"Atari's new machine is finally out?!!"
At the moment, many people on the Internet are discussing Atari's new machine, and major game companies and media around the world are also speculating about what Atari's new machine will look like and what functions it has. After Henry Williams became the owner of Atari, could he change the fate of Atari?
At 10 a.m. on October 10, most of the companies involved in the gaming industry were represented at the Atari product launch, as were reporters from all over the world.
The lights dimmed. At this moment, Henry walked up to the stage, and immediately a beam of light hit him.
"Welcome to our Atari product launch, you must be thinking at the moment that today's product launch will definitely be related to Atari's latest home game console!"
Henry paused and said with a smile: "Actually, we're going to introduce a different product at the launch event! To be honest, I'm very excited right now, because what I'm about to introduce to you is going to make the whole world love it! There's no doubt that it has this charm!!"
Hearing Henry's words, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.
"Oh, what the hell could this be?"
There was speculation and a lot of talk.
Henry raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Look at the screen behind me, that's what I'm going to introduce to you!" Henry, holding a remote control in his right hand, pressed a key as he spoke.
Immediately, an electronic pet machine appeared on the screen behind Henry, looking like an egg. The body is a silver anodized aluminum metal case, which looks very elegant and stylish because of the advanced aluminum process. In the middle of the machine is a small TFT LCD screen.
People look at this machine and they all wonder, this thing looks pretty good in its shell, but it's so small. What the hell is it?
Henry smiled slightly, pointed to the electronic pet machine, and introduced: "This is a new product developed by Atari Corporation, called an electronic pet, also known as a pet egg!
"This is a portable electronic toy, and the main selling point is that players can experience the fun of feeding electronic pets, including feeding, cleaning, part-time jobs, learning, games, etc., ......"
"Currently, we have developed twenty-five electronic pets. There are penguins, dinosaurs, pandas...... Wait" Each time Henry introduces a pet, the image of that pet will appear on the screen.
However, Henry didn't tell everyone that Pikachu, Little Fire Dragon and other fifteen electronic pets are game pets in another game. When Pokemon is released, I will surprise everyone!
And there are so many electronic pets. Henry was considerate. A lot of players have a collecting fetish, with twenty-five types of animatronic pets. On the other hand, the more pets, the more options there are, and when you get tired of playing with this pet, you can play with other pets.
This time, Henry decided to launch only the silver version. Simple fashion is beauty, too many flowers are vulgar!
As for the price of each Atari electronic pet, Henry thought about it for a long time, and he could neither sell it too expensive, nor sell it too cheaply. In the end, it was decided that an Atari electronic pet would cost $50!
However, when Henry introduced it, many people didn't care, this little thing actually sold for 50 dollars, can anyone buy it?
After the press conference, many people were disappointed, they thought they would see Atari release a new model, but they didn't expect it to be such a thing as an electronic pet. Compared to home game consoles, electronic pets are just gadgets, what a disappointment!
However, some people think that this thing is very interesting and may be a hot seller.
The next day's newspapers were polarized.
However, at this time, the Firefly Playhouse began to heavily promote the Atari electronic pet. At the door of every Firefly playhouse is a promotional poster for Atari Anitronics, using the image of Pikachu!
"Mom, what kind of animal is that? It's so cute!!" The child who was passing by suddenly saw Pikachu and immediately shouted.
Electronic pets?
After reading the slogan of the poster, the adults were a little surprised.
"Mom, I want to buy it!"
"Okay, let's go in and have a look!"
After entering the store, the clerk gave them a detailed introduction to the Atari electronic pet.
"If it's not convenient to have a pet at home, you can raise an electronic pet, which has a lot of functions, and the first time you enter the game, the system will give you 1000 Atari gold coins. You can use Atari Gold to buy things for your digital pet in the store, such as buying food for him, toys for him to play with, books for him to read, sports equipment for him to exercise, and so on. Remember, if it's hungry, you have to buy food for it, or else it's going to starve to death. When it grows up, you can also pay to send it to school. When it graduates, you can let it go to work and earn money. If your pet is sick, you have to pay for it to be treated, and you have to poop every day, and you have to clean it, or it will get sick!"
"Mom, it's fun, I'm going to buy it, I'm going to buy it!!" the child shouted as he hugged his mother's thigh.
Her mother was also very interested in this electronic pet, and turned to the clerk and asked, "How much does it cost?"
"$50 apiece," replied the clerk with a smile, "we have twenty-five pets here, and you can pick whatever you like, all for the same price!"
As he spoke, the clerk took out a drawing, and there were twenty-five pets in it.
"Mom, I want Pikachu!" the kid said, pointing to the pet in the first position.
The child's mother nodded, and then said to the clerk, "Buy a Pikachu, huh...... Buy another penguin!"
The child looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, why do you still buy one?"
"You're only allowed to play alone, won't mom play?"
"Ang, then my mother and I have an electronic pet!"
The Atari electronic pet, which is not favored by many people, has swept the United States at an unimaginable speed!
In just one week, Atari Electronic Pets sold more than 2.7 million machines, and there were long queues outside countless firefly game houses!
"Boss, I'm going to buy an Atari electronic pet!"
"Boss, I'm going to buy an Atari electronic pet too!"
"Boss, is Pikachu still there?"
"Boss, twenty-five Atari electronic pets pack and take !!"
“……”
In major schools across the United States, Atari electronic pets have become the most fashionable and fun products.
It is not uncommon to see several students getting together and playing with Atari electronic pets.
"Hehe, my pet is hungry, I'm going to buy it something good. ”
"Oh, I spent a lot of Atari gold coins, and it looks like I'm going to let my pet go to work to make money!"
"Send it to school first, and then go to work, so that you can earn more money!"
"Really?"
"Of course, it is written in the manual, the higher the education, the higher the salary when you work!"
