Chapter 150: Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He

The media was surprised by the fact that game development gods had joined the Flamingo corporation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The editor-in-chief of Popular Electronics said: "Chronos Li's wife sold a game empire and made more than $3 billion. If the Flamingo defeats the Sunbird Company, it will mean that Chronos・Li will only spend a small amount of money to recreate a multi-billion dollar game empire......!

"American Video Game Magazine": "Due to the monopoly of the Atari 2600 home game console, American players can only play games on the game console platform, but the shoddy game works make players very disgusted, according to the statistics of this newspaper, American players are generally very disappointed with Sunbird! On the contrary, they are full of expectations for Flamingo, and almost unanimously believe that only Chronos Li is the one who really understands games, and only he can design fun and playable classic games!"

Wall Street Journal: "Sunbird Company has a serious brain drain, and gaming supremacy is on the verge of collapse!!"

Li Zetian didn't expect his appeal to be so strong, there were 65 people who jumped from Atari and Sunbird alone, and there were many familiar faces among them. In addition, with the addition of other new hires, Flamingo was already strong in just one week, with 452 employees. Nolan Bushnell serves as the company's CEO.

After the establishment of the Flamingo Company was completed, Li Zetian came to the company.

As soon as the people saw him, they immediately gathered around him.

"Hello Mr. Li, I'm Duke Dickey, who has been following you since the beginning, do you remember me? Since you left Sunbird, Sunbird hasn't developed a classic game, we're going to follow you!"

"Yes, Mr. Li, Sunbird Company is no longer the Sunbird Company of the past, the commercial nature is too heavy, only caring about launching more games to make money, and not caring about the quality of the game!

"Hello Mr. Li, although I didn't work at Sunbird, I grew up playing the games you developed!" said a young designer.

Li Zetian had a black line in his head, look at what he said, am I so old......

"First of all, welcome to Flamingo Company," Li Zetian looked around, paused, and said, "At the same time, I want to thank you for believing in me and being willing to join Flamingo Company, I know that many of you have even given up your original high-paying jobs to join my company." Here, I can assure you that we will not treat you badly, and in addition, Flamingo will not make any garbage games! Either we will not make games, if we do, we must make classic games! Please remember the company's slogan: Flamingo production, must be a high-quality product!"

Everyone couldn't help but be infected by Li Zetian's passionate and confident words, and they all shouted excitedly: "Flamingo products must be high-quality !!"

“……”

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, then crossed the crowd and came to the conference room.

Then, the company's key executives followed.

Li Zetian took a sip of water, organized the language in his heart, and then said: "The main development direction of Flamingo Company now is family games, which is divided into two departments, the first department is the hardware and game console development department, and the second department is the software and game development department.

In order to speed up efficiency, the game development department is divided into five game development teams, each of which is responsible for the development of a single game. The five games are Super Mario, Contra, Tank Wars, Double Dragon, and Saloman. I'll have people send out the relevant information later, but be sure to ask the employees to sign a confidentiality agreement, and don't leak the information! ”

"Mr. Li, you designed all these games by yourself?"

Li Zetian nodded, and then said: "In the past four years, although I have been in a coma on the surface, my brain is awake. I had nothing to do, so I designed some games!"

Everyone looked surprised.

"As for the home game console," Li Zetian doesn't quite remember what the FC configuration is, but he knows that it uses Mos6502, and the CPU frequency is 1.8MHz. The Mos6507 used in the Atari 2600 home game console has a CPU frequency of 1.17HMz, which is still very different.

He thought for a moment and said, "The CPU uses an 8-bit 6502 chip, Intel's 16-bit chip is too expensive, and home game consoles don't need such a good CPU now." ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

"Once the CPU has been decided, the next step is to hand it over to the game console development department to discuss, and make sure to come up with a design plan for me as quickly as possible. After Li Zetian finished speaking, he looked at Nolan Bushnell.

"Well, Mr. Li, don't worry, I'll urge them to come up with the best design. Nolan Bushnell nodded.

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, with Nolan Bushnell here, he was still quite relieved, after getting the design plan, he analyzed the feasibility of the plan with his own vision beyond this era, naturally there was no problem at all.

Subsequently, Li Zetian continued: "In addition to these, I also designed a small thing. ”

As soon as the words fell, standing beside Li Zetian, Dongfang Yuqin, who acted as the secretary, distributed the information.

"This thing is called an electronic pet, it is a very simple game console, only controlled by three buttons A, B, and C, introducing a novel simulated feeding system, hatching pet eggs, feeding pets, bathing, healing, entertainment, etc., ......"

Everyone looked at the pictures on the design drawings and couldn't help but be attracted by its cute shape.

"Many families are not comfortable with a real pet, and it is quite fun to have an electronic pet, and the fun of this game is precisely that you can experience the fun of having a pet. Electronic pets are easy to carry around, cute, and can also accompany the elderly to relieve boredom. I believe that its great charm will definitely create a cross-generational fan base for it, and it will be loved by people. Of course, at the same time, it will bring huge profits to the flamingo company! Flamingo's good start depends on it!" Li Zetian smiled confidently.

At that time, Takuma Utako developed by RB Bandai sparked a worldwide craze as soon as it was launched, and became a phenomenal product, and since then, it has been constantly updating its products, and every time it is released, it will enter the TOP10 position of RB game sales list and continue to sell well!

Li Zetian remembers that when he was an orphan in his previous life, he picked up no less than 20 electronic pet game consoles from the school trash can. At that time, the anime "4WD Kid" was introduced to Chinese mainland and set off a "four-wheel drive craze", and girls can often be seen playing with electronic pets and boys holding mini four-wheel drives.

……

As soon as the meeting ended, everyone left the conference room with a smile on their faces. At this moment, they have firmly believed that it is inevitable that Flamingo will replace Sunbird as the hegemon of the game industry.

"Chronos Li alone is better than thousands of horses!"

Sunbird has become the hegemon of the game industry because of Chronos・Li, and it will also become a stepping stone for Flamingo because of Chronos・Li. His endless flow of brilliant ideas will make all competitors despair!!!

Some Chinese employees can't help but feel proud to have such an outstanding Chinese compatriot, who is like a mountain that can never be reached into the sky, which is admirable!
