Chapter 19: Delusion
It's been so long since "Tower of Magic" came out, and the little geisha has seen a lot of people play it. I've seen a lot of customs clearance, but it's the first time I've seen one coin clearance.
Originally, she saw Takahashi present the award to the child in "Gamer's Heart", thinking that only that child could clear the level.
I didn't expect Takahashi, who is the creator of this game, to be able to clear this game with one life and one coin.
The brave man, who had a drop of blood left, stood tall in the explosion, and the little geisha looked at the brave man and Takahashi, feeling that the two figures were overlapping.
"Tower of Enchanted Magic has been cleared in one life!"
"Didn't you clear the level a long time ago? "Player's Heart" said that you are from Mars?"
"You're just from Mars! Over there, someone over there has cleared the customs for one coin. The enthusiastic players who were inexplicably scolded said angrily.
The players who heard the conversation moved in that direction.
Although "Tower of Magic" has been cleared by people for one currency before, the guidebook of the customs clearer has not been circulated. Therefore, for the vast majority of players, it is still a very powerful thing to clear "Tower of Magic" with one coin.
"Let's go play that. Takahashi said.
Takahashi, who has held large-scale event programs, appeared on TV, and written scripts, has never seen anything, and this small scene in front of him can't make him nervous.
"Hmm...... "Hmm," the little geisha said.
"Who are you?" Just as Takahashi and the little geisha were shifting the battlefield, a guy who looked so tall that he didn't look like himself blocked Takahashi's way.
"Let's go over there. Takahashi didn't pay any attention to the provocative man.
"Let's talk!" the big man who had been ignored was very upset, and he grabbed Takahashi by the shoulder, trying to use violence.
Takahashi still didn't look at him, and the moment he touched Takahashi's shoulder, three figures appeared from different directions of the crowd, they were silent, they moved in unison, and in two or three seconds, they only blinked twice, and the big man was subdued.
The little geisha looked at the three people who suddenly appeared, a little overwhelmed.
"Don't be afraid, they protect me. Leave that alone, let's play the game. Takahashi said.
The little geisha nodded, no longer focusing on the big man's ending.
Although the wind has loosened recently, it seems that no one wants to deal with Takahashi anymore, but Takahashi does not take it lightly. Since it is "at the grassroots level", it is too conspicuous to have bodyguards by his side. So, after he entered the arcade, the bodyguards dispersed and hid in the crowd to protect him.
When Takahashi left just now, the bodyguards were also secretly protecting. Although it is not very secretive, it is not something that someone like a small geisha who does not have any experience in counter-reconnaissance can find out.
"Bubble Bobble, you should always watch other people play this game. Takahashi said.
Hearing what Takahashi said, the little geisha turned red as if a little secret had been exposed. The scarf she held in her hand was twisted by her as if it were her enemy.
One is born, and the second is ripe.
Sitting in the chair in front of the arcade machine again, the little geisha will be much more familiar with the action of holding the joystick.
"Bubble Dragon" is more pleasing to girls than "Tower of Magic". As a result, Bubble Bobble's machines are farther out in the arcade and face more light players.
The crowd seemed to be a ball of flies, moving around Takahashi and the little geisha.
Because the fate of the strong man just now was too straightforward, although they were watching, no one came up to provoke.
What am I?
Takahashi looked at the little geisha beside him, and looked at the onlookers around him who "dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak", and suddenly there was a very strange citrus.
He felt as if he was a landlord bully, and the little geisha was a good girl. He overbearingly occupied the girl of the good family, and a group of righteous villagers dared to be angry and dare not speak.
However, Takahashi just thought about it, although he never regarded himself as a good person to save the suffering, but he also did not really regard himself as a villain who did all kinds of evil.
It's a bit of a funny feeling, though. No wonder there are so many people doing evil in both the old and new eras.
Although the evaluation of "Bubble Bobble" on "Gamer's Heart" is a casual and suitable game for girls.
However, Shogakukan's "Weekly Game Shonen" portrays the game as a plagiarism.
What kind of game is plagiarized? Atari's "PONG" and Taito's "Arkanoid" are plagiarized.
Takahashi is really desperate for the level of those editors in the Shogakukan. In order to attack Wanhu and attack him, they didn't even want the most basic face.
Takahashi didn't choose to scold from the air at all, he chose to find another battlefield and opened a new column on "Player's Heart" again.
The title of this column is "The History of Gaming", which is dedicated to the past and present of video games, their origins and development.
The relationship between PONG and Arkanoid, and the similarities and differences between Bubble Bobble and the two games.
However, in order to avoid being too mapped, the history of "plagiarism" by these manufacturers in the industry has been exposed, and the group has been attacked.
Takahashi did not point out by name that a certain manufacturer had made a certain plagiarized game, but instead used "some" manufacturers to refer to it.
He likened the development of video games to a big tree. The origin of video games is the roots of the tree, and the important games are the trunk of the tree, and the games that are derived from the games that have laid the foundation of the genre are the branches.
The branches are related to the trunk, but they cannot be said to be plagiarism.
After Takahashi's interesting argument, the rumors created in "Weekly Game Boy" were naturally broken.
Takahashi's several big victories in the battle of public opinion have made many game production companies pay attention to the power of the media.
So, all of a sudden, all kinds of video game magazines sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
When I first started, it was about making money. Then it's just a big delivery without losing money, and in the end, it's a big delivery that doesn't have a problem at a loss.
Although most of the players who come to the arcade will not be able to read the text in this scenario. However, various arcade manufacturers still produced many pamphlets, desperately trying to let players see and occupy the right to speak.
It's a pity that they realized it later.
Takahashi's "Player's Heart" is ahead of these pamphlets in terms of first-mover advantage, channels, cost, and fun content.
In comparison, the booklets that these manufacturers are super launched on the horse are far less threatening to "Gamer Heart" than the "Weekly Game Boy" of Shogakukan.
Takahashi watched the little geisha play a few levels and couldn't get over, and he put his hand on the little geisha's hand holding the joystick and pressing the buttons.
