On February 27, 1982, Lin Qi returned to Hong Kong and attended the company's new game product launch. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he returned to Hong Kong, he was intercepted by a group of reporters.

"Mr. Lin, hello. It is said that your company has invested in Shenzhen's real estate industry on a large scale, and from time to time because it misses Hong Kong real estate, it is ready to enter the real estate industry with the help of the mainland's reform and opening up.

"No, I don't have more real estate, and I don't have a lot less. But now some companies in Hong Kong are starting to enter the game industry, and I have brought this trend to me. Shenzhen is not engaged in real estate, but in industry. We need a lot of industrial land, Hong Kong is too crowded and land is too expensive. Therefore, I invested the funds in Shenzhen. ”

"Aren't you afraid of a change in policy?"

"Don't be afraid, I think the future will get better and better, not worse. That's it, don't go any further to other issues, today's protagonist of the game. ”

The staff of the new venture electronics company moved the two arcade machines to the podium, and the press conference gradually got to the point.

The new game is the RPG type "Breaking the Sky", which was developed last year and was highly anticipated by Lin Qi. The IP of the game is only secondary, the key is the innovation of the game itself. Just opening up a whole new genre is enough to make this game go down in the history books of gaming.

Originally, it would have been a few years before players could experience those immature RPGs, but now "Breaking the Sky" is quite mature.

Of course, in order to show the effect of the game, this arcade machine can only be stacked at the cost of performance.

In order to pile up performance, this arcade machine was made into a small machine part-time. This arcade machine has 2 Zilog Z8000 (16-bit processors), and in addition, 8 self-developed X8 chips have been added. 10-core CPU, so much so that its peak floating-point operations per second have been soared to 10 million times. This level of CPU performance is crazy for an arcade body.

In addition, the graphics card and sound card used in this arcade machine are all independent research and development technology reserves of new start-up electronics companies.

Z8000 is a 16-bit chip launched by Zilog in 79, and the founder of Zilog is also a technician who left Intel Corporation, and was originally responsible for the research and development of 8080 chips. The company he founded after leaving the company quickly launched the Z80 chip, which once became the same market share as Intel's 8080 chip.

But soon Intel paid attention to the protection of patented technology and set up patent barriers. The architecture of the 8080 chip was upgraded to 8086, which was later the X86 chip architecture. Except for a few authorized manufacturers, the x86 chip architecture does not allow any non-authorized manufacturers to produce CPU chips compatible with the x86 architecture.

It is precisely because of this that Zilog can no longer borrow from Intel, so it was forced to build a new architecture of 16-bit chip Z8000. The performance of the Z8000 is quite good, and the performance of the 16-bit chip that costs more than $200 is on par, and the price is relatively conscientious, only $60 per piece. However, the disadvantage is that this chip is not compatible with most of the 8080 and 8086 architecture applications, so after its launch, orders are quite scarce.

However, the arcade developed by the new venture electronics company burns the game program to the base version, and there is no need to consider compatibility with other applications. Therefore, the Z8000 is mainly used with two 16-bit chips, in addition, supplemented by 8 X8, the performance is enough to lead the times.

Although, in Lin Qi's eyes, the graphics display effect of this game is only improvised, but in the 80s, the effect of its game is enough to be regarded as a masterpiece by players.

In order to improve the performance of the game, the cost of this arcade machine has soared, and the factory price has also been increased to 18,000 Hong Kong dollars. It's 3 times more expensive than the cheapest arcade on the market.

The reason why I dare to play like this is because the new start-up electronics company has its own game hall. I can eat 300 units, and I dare to be so confident with a guaranteed order.

"The commercialization of arcade games began in 1971 with Nolan Bushnell, the former president of Atari, ushering in a new era in the video game industry. Arcade games have always been the game platform with the highest hardware technology and the most advanced creativity in the game industry. "Ping", "Little Bee", "Snake", "Brick", "Space Invader", "Chinese Cube", "Pac-Man", the gameplay of the game is always changing. Those eye-catching ideas bring players a new and pleasant experience, and at the same time, they also burst out a new flame of wisdom. ”

"What surprised us even more was that last year Nintendo launched an arcade machine called Donkey Kong, and the experience of the game was almost like an adventure movie. Not only has the graphics improved dramatically compared to previous games, but at the same time, the gameplay is also refreshing. This game is a game with a plot and background, the protagonist's girlfriend is kidnapped by a gorilla, so the player continues to take risks to get his girlfriend back. Its gameplay and game graphics and colors have been greatly improved compared to previous games. Therefore, there is no doubt that Donkey Kong has become a blockbuster game that has the potential to sell more than 100,000 units. This sales volume will probably break the previous historical sales record of arcade games!"

"The reason why I want to praise Nintendo is because this time they really made an amazing game. More importantly, they inspired us to create a more mature and new genre - role-playing games!"

With the introduction of Lin Qi, the on-site staff turned on and demonstrated the scene and picture of the game "Breaking the Sky".

There was a quick exclamation.

"Great!"

"This ...... The graphics of the game have surpassed the TV anime, second only to the movie anime, right?"

"That's amazing! The special effects in the game are almost like the special effects of Hollywood movies. ”

Lin Qi smiled and said, "That's right! This is our new game "Breaking the Sky", which has ushered in a new era of gaming and opened the door to role-playing games. Role-playing games allow players to go through the plot and difficulties like the protagonist, using tricks and wits to break through the story levels one by one......"

"The fights of the characters are almost as exciting and realistic as those of film and television works. The ultimate has gorgeous animation special effects, which is very visually impactful. In order to represent these images, of course, we need to have better computer technology. It's hard to say about other performance, but in terms of display chips, our arcade machine is already the strongest in the world. Even some expensive large machines may not be able to compare with us in terms of graphics......"

After several years of operation, Xinchuang Electronics has not only made most of the mainstream media in Hong Kong the company's mouthpiece.

At the same time, due to the status of the industry, the company's product release will inevitably attract media attention and reprint around the world.

Lin Qi personally worked hard to publicize and provide first-hand information from the media. In order to strive for the advertising of the new venture electronics, the major media naturally had a large number of crazy media reports after the meeting, so as to flatter the new venture electronics.

……

"The king of "Breaking the Sky" is back, a role-playing game, and a new era of games. The only book of Lin Qi, the boss of the new entrepreneurship department, the arcade adapted from the popular novel that earned the first pot of gold in entrepreneurship, has to play the masterpiece ......"

"Hong Kong's arcade storm is back, and players are competing for the new machine ...... "Breaking the Sky" in major game halls"

"Breaking the Sky" is not only the king of novels and comics, but also swept the game world again!"

"With more than 10 million floating-point operations per second, it's an arcade machine for a mid-sized computer. The performance of the new arcade machine has set a new record in the gaming industry. ”

The news industry continues to build momentum, further making the launch of this new game full of storms.
