Chapter 7 The aunt who bought the arcade machine

The popularity of the price book was not expected by Lin Yan, he originally just wanted to make it more convenient for arcade hall owners and game developers, and by the way, to enhance the presence and influence of the organizer of the "Video Gamers Conference" and the "Game Pass" magazine. I didn't expect players to be so interested in this manual.

Even, there are some more tyrant players who have purchased an arcade machine through the agency. Hundreds of thousands of yen may seem like a lot, but in fact, there are quite a few people who can afford it.

Originally, Lin Yan thought that a machine could only have one game, and it could not attract players to buy such a big guy, but he didn't expect that the fanaticism of players was much stronger than he imagined.

Lin Yan thought about it a little in his mind, and he thought it was interesting. None of the units in Tokyo are very large, and if you want to move an arcade machine to your house, you may have to tear down the door. Moreover, after inquiry, the aunt who bought the arcade machine did not plan to modify the settings of the arcade machine, such as changing the coin device to a drawstring. The aunt did not agree, she said that if you want to enjoy the original arcade machine, you have to come to the coin.

All the staff present were puzzled at the same time, but also proud that the industry they were engaged in actually had such great charm. can make a housewife who only watches soap operas every day like a machine that has been covered.

Of course, the game that the machine bought by the aunt is also relatively old, and it is "Space Invaders". Lin Yan also didn't understand why so many aunts liked a male-oriented game with the name of spaceship and monsters and space. In fact, housewives can be seen in the arcade from time to time. In addition to looking for their husbands to go home, or to find their children to go home, they sometimes play games by themselves. And, just play "Space Invaders".

It is said that in the circle of housewives, "Space Invaders" has also become a popular topic, just like the popularity of the Yuejiu drama. By the way, with the concept of video game arcades, they also understand what is going on. Nor is it particularly averse to video game arcades.

The "Video Gamer Conference" is Haruka Kishimoto's home arena, her younger brother. Nature is all over the venue. A clever little brother immediately showed that he was the editor of the magazine, and then conducted an interview with the aunt, and the aunt said after the interview. Bought such a machine. Not only can I play, but my children can also play, and my husband can also play. The arcade hall was crowded with people, and it was not good for the children to go after all, and the husband came home after a hard day. Isn't it a good idea to be able to play a few arcade games and release stress......

The aunt was obviously very excited about her going to be in the magazine, and she turned into a chatter, and she crackled and said it without the reporter asking. Her speed of speech is even faster than the speed of the editor's speech, and the speed of the editor's handwriting naturally can't keep up with this speed of speech. He had to pick the key notes, and then when he went back, he started to re-polish them.

He was thinking. It would be nice to have a portable tape recorder. However, he was just thinking about it. Portable tape recorders are not only expensive, they are also a delicate thing. When recording, it is best to put it on a flat surface that will not vibrate, otherwise it is easy to have problems such as cassette.

To put it bluntly, although the current era is a high-tech era, everything is far less advanced than people think.

Just like Japanese animation at this stage, it is still hand-drawn. There is also a prospect of paperless animation in the industry. However, that is only a prospect. Today's computers can't completely replace pen and paper to complete all the tasks of animation.

The venue was not quiet. Although everyone's voice is not too loud, when they come together, it is not small. At a glance, there are excited faces everywhere.

Many players who are very fond of an arcade game are thrilled to see the makers of the games they love. It's like a fan meeting a star he loves. Pretty much to say. There are little stars in my eyes.

This feedback from players also stimulates the game's developers. Everything that players show means that everything they do is meaningful and valuable. Their works have been praised by many people. With so many players who love video games, it seems that all the difficulties in the development process have become sweet memories worth remembering.

Lin Yan didn't pay much attention to the situation of his bare gun arcade and racing arcade, and even if he did, he couldn't see anything. Because, the two machines are surrounded by people, even if you keep staring, you can see human heads.

As Ren Jill is on a par with Chiba Games and the Video Game Alliance, their booth was also very lively. Ren Hell has also launched a new game console. However, the game consoles they launched are much smaller, not to mention the momentum compared to the racing arcade, even compared to the light gun arcade, which is also a little worse.

However, the momentum is not grabbing, but the attention of players is not small at all. The blockbuster product of Ren Hell at this exhibition is the game watch product line, which is a game watch with two screens that can be folded. The game displayed by the printed LCD screen is "Donkey Kong", which is a hit in the North American market.

The benefits of two screens speak for themselves, and anyone who has tried a new gaming watch will be able to feel it. The two screens arranged up and down are equivalent to providing this game with better picture depth and being able to display more game content. Although the gameplay of the game is still lackluster, being able to play Donkey Kong is also a very attractive thing for many players.

Of course, the popularity of "Donkey Kong" in Japan is not comparable to that in North America. But one of the amazing things about Japan in this era is that the Japanese are so easily receptive to what is popular in the United States. Regardless of whether this kind of thing is in line with their aesthetics or not, it does not conform to their traditions.

This is also understandable, after all, Japan has always been a country that yearns for the strong. If you think about who opened the door to Japan with a strong ship and a cannon, and then think about what kind of women's school uniform is in Japanese school uniforms, you can understand the Japanese people's thoughts.

Their worship of the strong, not the worship of absolutes. Rather, they learn in worship, and when they have achieved something, they kill the people they originally worshipped.

This is the nature of the Japanese nation, and it is also the reason why they can shine so brightly in the current forest of nations.

To be honest, Lin Yan doesn't particularly like this characteristic of the Japanese, although this characteristic can be beautified with all his might. But its essence, to put it bluntly. Isn't it just a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised?

However, modern Japan does not have its own army. It's like they're playing militarily and there's no way there's anything they can do, they can only invade other countries economically and culturally. In fact, they are doing it now.

Lin Yan's promotion of video games also played a role in fueling the fire. In fact, the promotion of culture is inseparable from a country's economic strength. Only the economic power is strong. Only when other countries do they formalize your culture, and only when the economy is strong can the people of this country have the ability to engage in culture.

Otherwise, people in a country can't eat enough, and they still have to engage in culture, isn't that a joke?

Lin Yan also dressed up as a player, went to Ren Hell's booth to line up, and bought a game watch of "Donkey Kong". Gaming watches, albeit limited to gaming representations. It's not particularly fun. However, after Ren Hell has been cultivating this one for so long, they also have a unique technique. For example, a larger screen, a more convenient way to operate, and a way to make the picture quality look significantly improved is that at the bottom of the screen, a colored film is pasted. Anyway, the screen is a printed LCD screen, and the image will not change, so the tree is in place. It became green. The ladder was pasted brown.

Compared with the original simple black LCD screen, this kind of LCD screen with color, the expressiveness of the picture is better than that of the earlier game watch. I don't know how much better.

Of course, this is at the "Video Gamers Conference", Ren Hell not only launched the new "Donkey Kong" game watch, but also reproduced the original "Pitching Clown" game watch, and launched a golden limited edition.

That's right. This limited-edition gaming watch has a brilliant gold casing. It is almost the same as the color of the local tyrant gold of the later generations of Apple mobile phones.

However, it is different from Apple's advanced anodized aluminum coloring process. This limited machine is just a white plastic with a layer of gold paint. Such a lacquer surface, after exposure to the sun, or after playing for a long time, is eroded by sweat, and after mechanical wear, it will still fade, but players in this era do not have such high requirements for quality, and the paint will fall off.

The purpose of Ren Hell to launch such a machine is not for players to play with it, but for collection. Ren Hell's idea is obviously not the same as Chiba Games and the Video Game Alliance. This can be seen from the fact that they also sell Donkey Kong dolls.

After tasting the sweetness of copyright dividends, Ren Hell has the intention to make several characters in "Donkey Kong" into a new type of star.

Such a virtual star has many benefits. First of all, they are not like living celebrities who will mess around, such as messing around with male and female relationships, drug abuse, promiscuity, and other messy things. They are always so positive, so full of positive energy, so that players will always love them.

Of course, Lin Yan also mixed in with the player group and saw the current older youth, the young man named Shigeru Miyamoto. As the main producer of "Donkey Kong", his status, in Ren Hell, can be said to have risen rapidly with the popularity of this game.

Even, Mr. Yamauchi Pu also established a new game development department with him as the core.

Although Shigeru Miyamoto is an older youth, he still looks quite immature, and when he communicates with players, he looks similar to other game producers, and he looks a little overwhelmed and a little shy. However, despite all his inhibitions, he is still very popular with players. In the field of video games, heroes have always been judged by works, your game is fun, and if someone plays it, players will recognize you and encourage you. If you make a game that is rubbish, players won't like it, and if you love it, you'll die.

Another Donkey Kong doll, Lin Yan came out of Ren Hell's booth. Although the booth of the game club is on the first floor, it is not too busy because it is not a video game and there are no new things full of gimmicks. More guys who sit here and play "Game of Destiny" are tired from shopping around the exhibition and come to rest.

Yuki Chiba also specially prepared some cups to provide free ice water for these players sitting here. Whether it is a male or female player, seeing someone in a maid costume and holding a glass of ice water for them is more or less embarrassed and has a certain indescribable satisfaction. It seems that this feeling of being served by a beautiful girl makes people feel comfortable.

Lin Yan didn't expect Chiba Yuki to come up with this, maybe, something like a maid café. It's the eldest lady in front of me.

Speaking of Chiba Yuki, the eldest lady, even if she wears a maid outfit, she can't hide her eldest lady's temperament. However, this lady style maid, for unknown reasons, is still particularly popular. On the other side, the distant son of the water is still a quiet appearance of a literary girl, although there are people who like that style, but there are even fewer people who like Chiba Yuki.

The person who was secretly responsible for protecting the safety of Chiba Yuki, seeing Chiba Yuki's appearance of serving tea and pouring water, was also secretly speechless. They have never seen the eldest lady who is served all day long to serve others, and today is an eye-opener. However, they have no intention of stopping it. According to the old man, Chiba has a love to play how to play, as long as it is not a threat to life, they don't interfere, just watch from the sidelines.

In the old man's thoughts, no matter what Chiba Yuki is doing, it is a kind of exercise for her. This is the case with the game club she founded, and the same is true for the "Game of Destiny" she created. After all, she is the person who will take over the top leadership position of a large enterprise with tens of thousands of regular employees in the future, if there is no exercise at all, how can she manage such a huge enterprise well.

Lin Yan saw that he didn't have anything to do, so he found a place to sit down with peace of mind. Playing "Donkey Kong" in Hell Ren. While playing, he thought in his mind that he and Chiba were playing games, should they also be like Ren Hell and portray the game characters in the hot games as a star.

However, this is not an easy task. Nowadays, the protagonists of video games are basically spaceships, spaceships, spaceships, and tanks, and it is difficult to make people cute a spaceship.

The concept of anthropomorphic spaceship mothers is still too advanced. However, when there are more hot video games under its umbrella, it seems that a special edition of "Game of Destiny" will be released. (To be continued.) )
