With such strict scoring criteria, it is not easy for "Gold Diggers" to get such a high score as 36 points. Therefore, when Game Star magazine published its review of Gold Digger, countless gamers were full of anticipation for the game.

It was because they read the "Game Star" magazine that the rating of the game "Gold Diggers" was 36 points, and it was full of praise, that they made up their minds to pool money to buy the game cards of "Gold Diggers" together.

Aaron held the game cartridge and said with a smile: "The two of us should be the first in the class to buy "Gold Diger"!"

Ah Hu also laughed proudly and said, "Yes, I asked the rest of the class yesterday, and they haven't scraped together enough money yet, so they should be in a hurry to scrape together money now!"

After Ah Long and Ah Hu bought the "Gold Digger" game cartridge, they hurried home.

After returning home, the two turned on the TV and took out the PSB game console.

Aaron plugged the Gold Digger game cartridge into the PSB console and said in a muffled voice, "If only the price of the game card were cheaper, we can buy some other games." ”

Ah Hu was also a little depressed when he heard this, and agreed: "Yes, the game card is too expensive, the two of us will make it together, and it will take two months to get together the money to buy a game card." ”

Unlike after the 90s, when the technology was perfected and CD-ROMs replaced game cards, the price of game cards was less than half of what it was a decade later. After the 90s, a game CD cost about $60, but now it only costs about $25.

But relatively speaking, the economic level at this time can never be compared with ten years later.

Especially for Xiangjiang, a developing city, the game card is much more expensive today than the game disc in ten years.

After all, although Xiangjiang is a financial city at this time, its economic level is not very good. Compared with the future Xiangjiang, it is really a bit far behind. Now the salary of ordinary people is about 2,500 Hong Kong dollars, and the game card here in Xiangjiang is slightly cheaper than the United States and island countries, about 20 US dollars, that is, 100 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to more than a day's salary.

Hong Kong students usually spend about HK$100 a month, but they can't spend all their money on game cards. They also buy comic magazines, snacks, toys......

Therefore, the student party in Hong Kong is generally several people who pool money together to buy game cards, and then everyone takes turns to play together.

Ah Long and Ah Hu's families are a little richer, so as long as the two of them make money, it is enough.

And this is one of the reasons why Heungjiang's game company has not been developing very quickly. In addition to the rarity of game development talents, it is also because of the economic conditions of Xiangjiang.

After all, the population of Xiangjiang is so small, and the economic level is not as good as that of the United States and island countries, so the scale of the game market is naturally very small. And other game companies are not as well-known as Centron Entertainment, although their games sell well overseas with the help of Centron Entertainment, they are far from the local game companies.

However, with the joint efforts of Centron Entertainment and other game companies, the situation is gradually improving. Presumably, in a few years, there will be one or two famous names in the game industry like Namco and Hudson in Hong Kong.

An hour later, Aaron held the game controller, looked happy, and sighed: "It's so fun, it's really worthy of a platinum-level palace game with a super high score of 36 points!"

"Yes, yes!" Ah Hu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "The game "Gold Digger" is so fun!"

Like Ah Long and Ah Hu, after buying "Gold Diggers" and playing it, they all sighed that this game was very fun, and at the same time, they were more profound about Wu Mingcai's identity as a game designer.

The next day, many media outlets reported and commented on the Gold Digger game.

"The games published by Centron Entertainment are very attractive, and the games developed by the genius game designer Wu Ming are even more appealing. Yesterday morning, "Gold Digger" was officially put on sale, and there were long queues at the entrance of many stores that sell game cards, which fully illustrates the expectations of gamers for the game "Gold Diger". ”

"Gold Digger is indeed a game that genius Wu Ming carefully prepared for a year to develop, which is full of fun and makes people love it. ”

"Gold Digger has a super high score of 36 points from Game Star, a game magazine, and it stands to good reason. Whether it's from the graphics, music, or gameplay, if you want to score it, you can give this game a high score of more than 90 points. ”

"It would be nice if Centron Entertainment could launch more than 10 games every month like Atari, but unfortunately Centron Entertainment only launches two or three games a month, and the total number of games in a year is only more than 20. However, I still support the concept of Star Entertainment only developing high-quality games. ”

……

Relying on the vigorous publicity before the release and the consistent good reputation of Star Entertainment, "Gold Digger" received 210,000 copies on the first day of release.

In the office of Xingchen Entertainment, Huo Jianning looked elated and said with a smile: "210,000 copies! This is the first time that our company has sold more than 200,000 copies on the first day!"

Wu Ming, who was sitting on the sofa opposite, put down the hot tea in his hand with an understated smile on his face.

"Uncle Jianning doesn't need to be so excited, the days ahead will be long! I have a lot of better games in my heart than "Gold Diggers", and after the New Year, I will work on developing new games again. ”

Huo Jianning's eyes lit up, he knew Wu Ming's character very well, and he was not sure that he would not say such a big thing. So he smiled excitedly: "Then I'll wait for you to show your skills after the year." ”

In the following week, relying on excellent word-of-mouth, "Gold Digger" once again sparked a sales frenzy, selling 560,000 copies.

A month later, the cumulative shipment reached more than 1.1 million copies, and the sales momentum only decreased slightly, and it is very likely to exceed 2 million copies.

You must know that the total sales of PSB game consoles so far are only 2.3 million units. If Gold Digger sells two million copies, that's nine out of every 10 players who own a PSB console and buy a Gold Digger card.

At the same time, many people who did not buy PSB consoles, after playing Gold Digger from others, are itching. In order to be able to play Gold Digger, they have paid for PSB game consoles.

Afterwards, Star Entertainment speculated with sales data that nearly one million PSB consoles were sold because of the game "Gold Diggers".
