Chapter 143: Making CS!
Is 8 yuan an hour and 5 yuan an hour expensive?
Seeing the reaction of the three of them, Juhui smiled faintly on his face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Juhui remembers very well that when he first went to the Internet in 1998, the price of the machine that could access the Internet was 8 yuan an hour.
What's more, there are also 10 yuan and 15 yuan an hour.
Of course, there are still more computers in Internet cafes that can only play stand-alone games, and their hourly cost is about five or six yuan.
You must know that in those days, the network was not as developed as in later generations, and the cost of the network at that time was very high, and the cost of Internet cafes was reduced a lot because these computers were not connected to the Internet, and the price was naturally slightly cheaper.
Without the Internet, it costs five or six yuan an hour, and you can imagine how luxurious it was to surf the Internet at that time.
On the one hand, the reason for this situation is that the number of Internet cafes is scarce, and scarce things are expensive. On the other hand, the novelty of the computer itself was very attractive, and coupled with the popularity of single-player games at that time, it was easy for people to indulge in it.
5 yuan, 8 yuan, 10 yuan, even if the price is so expensive, the Internet café is still full and overcrowded.
In particular, the number of Internet cafes at that time was very small, resulting in four or five people standing behind a machine in the Internet café, and as long as this person left, the next person would immediately fill in.
Only people of that era have experienced this shocking scene when the Internet café was at its peak.
In later generations, computers became more and more popular, Internet speed increased several times, and the price of computers became popular, although Internet cafes were still very lively, but the number of Internet cafes increased by hundreds of times, resulting in Internet cafes can no longer find the feeling of the past.
And Juhui expressed a good understanding of the thoughts in the hearts of the three of them.
After all, whether in terms of the model or the high cost of Internet access, Internet cafes are a novelty, and if they accept it at once, it is abnormal.
And more than one million funds are smashed on this, in addition to Juhui's own ability to predict the future development, in the eyes of others, it is better to invest so much money in this, it is better to invest in other more rewarding things.
No matter how you calculate this deal, it is very uneconomical.
But Juhui felt that there were some things that didn't need to be explained too much, facts speak louder than words, and when the Internet café opened, they would naturally understand. And Juhui can't say that he didn't run an Internet café to make money, but the strategic intention in Juhui's heart is too crazy, even if Juhui says it, it is estimated that they will not believe it.
I saw Juhui pause, and said lightly: "You don't have to worry too much, since I decided to do this, then I must be a little sure." ”
"Okay. Hearing this, Ding Sanshi sighed heavily.
Even if Juhui said so, this time Ding Sanshi was still not optimistic about the Internet café in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart: "The smooth sailing on the website seems to make Mr. Ju a little self-righteous." It seems that Mr. Ju is still a little young! In this case, it is not necessarily a bad thing for him to experience a failure!"
And Zhang Yi and Liao Yong on the side were not much different from Ding Sanshi's thoughts.
Juhui saw the expressions on the faces of the three of them, and immediately knew what the three of them were thinking.
I saw Juhui pursed his lips disapprovingly, smiled faintly on his face, and said: "Okay, Lao Liao, you go and install the timing control software I asked you to make last time on that control machine, and then do it today, and everyone will come here at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, there is something to do." ”
"Good. The crowd nodded.
......
After installing the timing software, the crowd dispersed.
Juhui went straight back to his place of residence alone.
For the strategic goal of being an Internet café, Juhui is quite optimistic.
First, because of the development of Internet cafes in the next few years, Juhui can be expected.
In addition, there is a more important reason, which is the single-player game he has in his hands.
You must know that the main reason for the popularity of Internet cafes in China in the early stage is not how attractive the Internet is, but the classic stand-alone games, which make countless people addicted to them and can't extricate themselves.
And at that time, the network speed was only 64kb, and before the domestic network speed was accelerated several times, the development of the Internet had great limitations due to slow network speed and other reasons, such as those videos, online games, etc., before the network speed was accelerated, it could not be brought at all.
It is precisely because of these aspects that these aspects are taken into account that Juhui only asked Zhang Yi to prepare 10 machines that can access the Internet in the early stage, and the other 90 machines cannot access the Internet, although they cannot access the Internet, but these computers are slightly higher in terms of configuration performance in order to better play stand-alone games.
And Juhui said that he would go to the Internet café at eight o'clock tomorrow to do things, which is related to stand-alone games.
"StarCraft is not enough. ”
Juhui, who was sitting alone in the room, bowed his head and muttered to himself.
Although StarCraft was popular in China back then, it was impossible to attract everyone with just one single-player game.
To be on the safe side, Juhui's original plan to install StarCraft on every computer today was temporarily changed by him.
He decided to use the time tonight to make a few more stand-alone games, so that people who come to the Internet café will have more options for games.
"Memory Search. ”
Juhui, who retracted his thoughts, immediately used his search skills without saying a word.
This time, he purposefully searched for his memory, and immediately found a single-player game he wanted.
Counter-Strike.
CS。
Thinking of the familiar map names such as warehouses and deserts, Juhui couldn't help but sigh.
Released in 1999, this single-player game started as a mod for Half-Life, and then evolved into a game on its own with some changes.
CS is a shooting game, is a lot of people to play shooting games of the enlightenment, in the domestic Internet café at that time, computer room, computer room and other scenes, the number of people playing this game is inexhaustible, as long as you walk into one of the places, you can definitely see that there is a group of people fighting in the LAN, all night!
To put it simply, even if you hadn't played it back then, you'd have heard of it!
After confirming the first game to be made, Juhui directly communicated with the system.
"Commander, make a stand-alone game of Counter-Strike!"
"Version selection 1.6!"
"Then sinicize the game!"
"Optimize the character modeling, optimize the interface!"
"Optimized game modes, increased game balance and improved playability!"
