It took a week for the family to go into battle, and finally on the five weekends of the week, all 80 arcade machines filled the business hall on the first floor, waiting for the next day to open.

Three days before the opening, Zhang Guifang went to the Kwun Tong Industrial Zone to find a printing company where to customize a batch of leaflets, and today it happened to be reloaded.

So, just after the arcade machine was set up, several people Li Yixuan, his mother Zhang Guifang, Jack, Billy, two and two robots distributed leaflets to the masses on the road from four directions.

The leaflets in this time and space are very simple, extremely cheap paper, and a piece of text is enough: Hong Kong's first self-made arcade game "Tank Wars" and December 20, 1976, officially opened at No. XXX Road, Kowloon Street, DreamWorks Game Hall welcomes everyone to come, the game screen is beautiful, the operation is simple, easy to use, and the playability is strong. As the first video game in Hong Kong, we hope to get everyone's support. ——Hong Kong's first self-made game "Tank Wars" was officially launched on December 20, 1976!!

At this time, the leaflets were not like later generations, coated paper, large areas, and beautiful pictures. In Hong Kong at this time and space, the printing equipment used is very backward, inferior paper, and the area is large, even if it is a small advertisement posted on the roadside in later generations, it is much better than it. Not to mention any photos.

There are none of these things, but it is enough to highlight that Tank Wars is the first video game in Hong Kong.

Sure enough, as soon as this slogan was hit, many citizens became interested, especially young people, and in less than an hour, all the leaflets in Li Yixuan's hand were distributed.

Just as Li Yixuan turned around and went back to the store to get the leaflets and continue to distribute them, someone stopped him.

"Sir, please wait."

Li Yixuan turned around and saw a young girl, holding his leaflet in her hand, and said, "Sir, your surname?" ”

"Your surname is Li, is there anything wrong with this young lady?"

"My surname is Zhang, and I am a reporter for the Hong Kong Economic Journal. Excuse me," reporter Zhang pointed to the leaflet, "is it true that the "Tank Wars" mentioned above was produced by your company?" ”

Li Yixuan smiled, "Of course it's true, "Tank Wars" is the first video game released by our company, and it is the first game in Hong Kong. ”

From the first sentence of the reporter's mouth, Li Yixuan knew what the other party thought, for the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens, video games are completely high-tech. Suddenly, I heard that Hong Kong had produced the first video game, which made the citizens of Hong Kong feel very surprised.

It's high-tech, when will Hong Kong be able to do this?

Sure enough, reporter Zhang replied: "Video games, this seems to be high-tech, it seems that only the United States can produce it, are you sure you can make it?" ”

"We will officially open tomorrow, whether it is true or not, we will know tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll come in person tomorrow, or you're a commercial fraud." After speaking, reporter Zhang left.

Li Yixuan shook his head and said in his heart: I will definitely drop your jaw tomorrow. He has this self-confidence, Hong Kong is not without arcade game halls, he did a survey, there are currently more than 30 arcade game halls in Hong Kong, large and small, but these game halls only have two games, one is the "Ping Pong" game launched by Atari in 1972, and the other is also the general launched by Atari in 1975.

Both games are extremely simple and backward, the graphics are still black and white, and the screens are very small. It's such a humble arcade, and the game hall business is full.

What's even more exaggerated is its price, a "Ping Pong" is as high as 35,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the price of "General" is 45,000 Hong Kong dollars.

It's too expensive, do you like to buy it, you have to order it three months in advance, and the maximum limit cannot exceed 5 units. Let Li Yixuan fully see what is the era of arcade profiteering. This is really a huge profit!!

Li Yixuan is very aware that "Ping Pong" was released in the United States for $1,200, "General" was only released last year, and the price was only $1,300, and later released on home consoles, and a cassette was only $35.

However, now after a dealer changes hands, 35,000 Hong Kong dollars, love to buy or not.

There are no flower baskets, no congratulations, no red envelopes, a simple tailoring ceremony, and a string of firecrackers set off in front of the door, announcing the official opening of the game hall.

The opening of the new store attracted the attention of some passers-by, but they only glanced here, turned their heads and continued walking.

In order to avoid the situation that the new store was deserted when it opened, Li Yixuan and the four of them picked up the leaflets and distributed them to passers-by at the door, but today is different from yesterday, many passers-by just took a brief look at it and threw it away, and continued to hurry.

Li Yixuan had no choice but to pick up the leaflets thrown by passers-by again, and continued to distribute them to passers-by, throwing them again, picking them up and distributing them again, I don't know how many leaflets he picked up and distributed.

Zhang Guifang saw that her son was working so hard at the door, and she couldn't bear it and wanted to say it, but in the end she didn't say a word.

At noon, there was still no customer, and a middle-aged man came to the store to take a look, probably because he saw that the store was deserted, and left again, and he was not even interested in trying it.

I thought it would be a good start, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Everyone's heart was very bad, and no one spoke during lunch.

"Mom, it's okay, it's like this when the new store opens, when I used to be with Zhang Qiao, the store was cold for a week before I received the first business. It's going to get better. ”

Zhang Guifang also worked in sales when he was young, and he knew the hard work here, so he wanted to say something to comfort him, but he didn't expect to be comforted by his son.

After lunch, continue to hand out flyers.

The hard work finally paid off, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, a group of young people, both men and women, walked into the game hall and finally opened.

The moment the group of young people entered, they were attracted by the colorful pictures of the arcade.

It's good, as long as there is interest, it's a good start. Li Yixuan clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention, "Hello everyone! This game hall is our own game hall operated by DreamWorks, and our company's main business is to develop and manufacture games. As the first company in Hong Kong to develop its own games, although our technical level is still limited, we have also managed to develop a game that is truly independently manufactured by a Chinese team, Hong Kong's first video game - "Tank Wars"! Since this game is new, everyone present should not have touched it. Let me first give you a brief demonstration of how to play......"

"The player controls a tank, there will be a group of enemy tanks on it, to destroy them, be careful not to be destroyed by enemy tanks, you can use these corners to dodge the shells sent by enemy tanks, in addition, directly below the screen, there is an eagle sign is the base camp, if the base camp is destroyed, the game is over. "Tank Wars" is a new game, currently in beta, we have a reward for interacting with players, helping us to present a useful bug, rewarding players with 100 bucks, and if the suggestion is adopted into the modified version, we will also reward players with an arcade machine...... Finally, have fun! ”

Li Yixuan's simple introduction showed that the players had been impatient for a long time and rushed to play the game.

Video games were still in their infancy in this era, and the number of game halls in Hong Kong was also very small. Although there are more than 30 arcades, they are scattered in different neighborhoods, and because of the scarcity of machines and the fact that it is a new thing, the vast majority of Hong Kong people have never actually played video games.

Now that such a game has appeared, it took less than two minutes to get started, and it quickly became addictive. Coins in the purse were thrown into it with a bang, and sometimes there were some shouts.

Some passers-by were attracted to come in, and after seeing a few young people playing so well, they couldn't help but find a machine to sit down and play along.

Soon, some came in to see the excitement, and in less than half an hour, it has attracted more than 300 people, which suddenly makes the game hall very crowded and noisy.

Hong Kong is mixed, and more than a million people at the bottom of the market are related to the underworld.

Those big companies and celebrities naturally don't take the underworld seriously, but if they don't squeeze into the top, it's better to be vigilant.

In order to avoid accidents, Jack and Billy opened their e-cigarettes wide. These two people were really shocked, some little yellow hairs who wanted to make trouble, saw two fierce white bodyguards, and the idea of making trouble just rose up, and it was extinguished at once, and they honestly paid for the machine.

Looking at a few little yellow hairs, Li Yixuan sneered in his heart, you will also bully and bully honest people, and if you meet white people, you will be fine, there is only one foreign slave.
