Chapter 69: Maybe This Is Hunting for Curiosity [Asking for a Monthly Pass!Second Update]

There seems to be no justice in this world, only profit.

If there is justice in this world, it belongs only to the United States. All countries that refuse to settle in dollars are evil empires!

Although American capital is starting to move again on the new industry of video games.

But whether it's Nintendo, Sega, or Wanhu. At this moment, it is not controlled by American capital, and it is not easy for American capital to control it.

There are no game makers and publishers, and they mostly survive on personal computer platforms.

In this era, the computers used by individuals evolved from the original system to the Apple system based on the Apple Macintosh series, and the Microsoft Windows system based on IBM compatible machines.

Because of the advent of ATI after 1985, the image display ability of personal computers has become stronger and stronger. The visual operating system with strong interaction has gradually begun to occupy the mainstream.

In this way, the group of people who can use personal computers has suddenly evolved from a more core group to a more popular group.

Microsoft has grown into a giant thanks to Windows and office software suites, and at the same time, American manufacturers of PC games have begun to make money.

Gone are the days when game makers themselves sold in squares in sealed bags with "flat sheets", floppy disks, and manuals.

The sale of computer games has also begun to be professionalized and standardized.

Computer game producers and publishers are also beginning to separate, with most manufacturers only proficient in manufacturing or publishing. Businesses that are proficient in both, almost none. The vast majority of companies that do both are already cold.

Everyone has lived a nourishing life, and gradually figured out the manufacturers of the temperament of computer game players, although they will not make money like making home console games, but they can also live a very nourishing life.

Today, however, something different happened.

It is rumored that Wanhu is going to officially attack the field of computer games.

Rumors that Wanhu is going to enter the field of computer games have been circulating since last year's Game Developers Conference, when Wanhu invited many individual game developers in the United States.

However, after those individual game developers returned, everyone inquired, and they all made games on Wanhu's handheld consoles, and Wanhu didn't seem to have any intention of entering the field of computer games.

Many American manufacturers thought about it in their hearts, wondering if Wanhu did not have the courage to enter the computer game market. After all, the computer game market, the console game market, and the arcade game market, although they all belong to the category of video games, but they are like a few mountains.

Just like those who write historical articles and those who are obsessed with beauty articles may be Internet writers, but those who write historical articles may not necessarily write good articles that are lazy and lazy.

However, knowing today, everyone has woken up from this self-deceptive thought. It turns out that Wanhu has never given up on the computer game market.

Although compared to the console game market, the computer game market is only a niche market. One in a thousand players who play games on a computer, or even a gamer who doesn't even play a game on a console.

However, a little analysis will make you know. Wanhu has never been an absolute predator in the host market. Although on Sega's platform, there are many excellent games made by 10,000 households.

But the best seller in the United States is still Nintendo's console platform, and the red and white machine is not called a home computer here, but a Nintendo entertainment system.

Nintendo's entertainment system simply doesn't have a game for 10,000 households.

In the minds of many American players, Wanhu is a Sega manufacturer, and it is precisely because of this. You must know that in this era, although there are already relatively mature online forums in the United States.

However, it is still difficult to know about foreign affairs on the Internet forums in your home country.

Besides, with the poor Internet speed in this era, it is impossible to have a picture and a truth. In this case, although a small number of Americans who traveled to Japan saw the game works released by Manhu on the Nintendo platform at the second-hand store.

But when he returned to the United States and said it on the forum, he was ridiculed as Kong Yiji.

I don't know how many people mocked him, until one day the Internet developed. When those who used to laugh at him found out that what he said was true. wanted to find him again, but found that he was no longer human.

The games that 10,000 households have invested in the U.S. computer game market are a little confusing.

Because, this is neither a Dungeons & Dragons RPG nor a strategy game.

It's a rather exotic game.

That's right, this is the personal computer ported version of "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes" produced by Wang Xiaohua.

Why this game?

The reason is also very simple, because this game is a test software developed by Wanhu China in order to develop the complicated hardware under the personal computer.

After all, there are not many games played by people in China's hardware R&D department, and it can really be said that they are games they have played, and probably only "The Legend of Martial Arts" produced by Wang Xiaohua is "The Legend of Martial Arts".

This personal computer ported version,Compared with the original version on the GG handheld computer,The programming level is not one or two points.。

After a lot of tempering, with the blessing of 10,000 households "all-round drive", more than 90% of the computers on the market, as long as the configuration is not too old, can run "The Legend of Martial Arts" smoothly.

Wanhu's R&D products are basically commercial-oriented.

After the "Universal Drive" and the personal computer ported version of "The Legend of the Martial Arts" are produced, they will naturally not be hidden.

Although the essence of both is to test Wanhu's self-developed graphics processor. However, it is also generally packaged for waste utilization to 10,000 households in North America. Takahashi asks Nick to find some way to reuse the waste and find a way to squeeze the residual value of the two software.

So, after beautification, "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes" appeared on the shelves of the United States.

Computer gamers in the United States are still relatively unfamiliar with the brand Wanhu, but although Wanhu North America is not good at making games, its publicity and distribution capabilities are indeed first-class.

Besides, at the moment, Wanhu's GG handheld is also a best-selling product in North America. Wanhu did not use the coercive means of bundling and distribution, and some shopping malls were willing to put the American version of the personal computer ported version of "The Legend of Martial Arts" on the shelves.

Nick is more interested in the "universal drive" software and this set of solutions, and he wants to package and sell this software to the production team of PC games.

Be aware of the things that can break the development team by adapting to different computer hardware.

However, I didn't expect that "The Legend of Martial Arts", which was a display sample, attracted a small amount of attention among computer gamers in the United States.

Nick thought to himself, "Maybe this is curiosity." ”
