The home game console came out, and the home game console where Lin Yan submitted the drawings came out. To be honest, the home game console function realized by Lin Yan's drawings is not much more powerful than the Atari 2600. However, at least it is stronger than the Odyssey.

Lin Yan once went to the patent office to inquire, Ren Hell had not registered the patent for the cross key, so Lin Yan applied for a patent for his own convenience. As for the patents of the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and other countries, it will be put later.

Now, at this moment, Lin Yan is holding a home game console the size of sixteen sheets of paper. The handle can be plugged into both sides of the fuselage according to the design of the red and white machine in memory, which has the advantage of saving space.

The handle is rectangular in shape, and there is not much ergonomic factor in it. After all, the more square the shell of the handle, the higher the yield rate of the finished product from the mold.

On the left side of the controller are the D-pad keys, and on the right are two circular buttons. Lin Yan changed the design of the original handle of the red and white machine, and directly changed the button on the right side to a circle. Because, the square button, in his memory, is a big mess abroad, and the total weight leads to the recall of the host.

The reason why the problem of square keys was not found during the test is because all the testers hold them according to the most standard hand posture, so of course there will be no problems. Players who get home game consoles, especially children at home, because their hands are relatively small, the grip posture of holding the controller is basically not correct. The way they hold it, it's easy to get the edges and corners of the square buttons stuck under the plastic shell. Of course, this is not a broken handle, as long as the sunken part is removed, you can play again.

However, the children do not understand this, and if they do not work well, they think that the machine is broken. Ren Hell in the other world recalls all machines and replaces them with new handles for free.

Lin Yan has more than just such a home game console at hand. And a small bunch of cassettes. Perhaps, some people will think that the cartridge is very similar to the memory module in the personal computer later.

Yes, the two of them are indeed of the same origin. However, the cassette is only readable, and the amount of storage is particularly under the memory. When unplugged, all the contents of the cartridge will not be stored.

As for. Later, the cassette that could store game progress had a built-in coin cell battery inside the cassette to ensure the storage of data.

The cassettes in Lin Yan's hand are "Space Invaders", "Tank Battle", "Pac-Man", "Bomberman", "Duck Fighting", "Super Mario......

That's right. There really is Super Mario......

Lin Yan not only copied the program code in his mind as it was, but also moved his name. However, this is nothing, and there are no copyright issues. Because, the Mario in "Donkey Kong" is not called Mario yet, he has no name, and the official title for him is just "Jumping Man".

The game "Duck Hunting" is also available on home consoles. On the side of "Duck Hunting", there is also a peripheral of a light gun. It's almost exactly the same as the "Duck Hunting" light gun on the arcade.

As long as the arcade of "Duck Hunting" is popular enough, then "Duck Hunting" is like a family game console. The potential is also full. Even, it is not a problem to become a promoter of the sales of home game consoles.

In fact, Lin Yan converted all the arcade games he came out with and made a home console version. There is no other reason. It is to escort the sales of home machines.

Probably, many people have encountered such a problem. A new home game console was released, but after buying it back, I found that there were no games to play, so I could only put it there to eat ashes, waiting for the time when a fun and worthwhile video game could be released.

However, there really aren't many home consoles that live long enough to have good games to play. Don't look at Lin Yan's movements here, it seems to be very fast. However, it is not for nothing that he moves faster. Many home appliance manufacturers that have entered the arcade field have long launched home video game consoles.

More precisely, home e-learning machines. It is said that it is a learning machine, and the part that can be learned is just some simple programming games. In addition to programming games, they are video games.

Of course, the graphics quality of this kind of video game in the learning machine is far from comparable to that of the arcade machine. In fact, the home game console in Lin Yan's hand is not as good as the picture quality of the arcade machine. Although there are many types of learning machines and game consoles on the market, they face this problem, that is, the sales are not high.

In the first half of 1980, shipments of video game arcades in Japan had reached a staggering 500,000 units. According to the calculation of such a large arcade market, it seems that the market for home machines should be at least one million units. However, the sales of the most popular learning machines and game consoles have not reached 100,000 units.

As for the Atari 2600, which is popular in the United States, it is not very popular in Japan. This is not because this home console is poor, but because, the Japanese, it seems, in their bones, are reluctant to use foreign products.

Of course, words can't be said to die, and in the next few decades, Japanese people will not also happily use Apple mobile phones. Sony, which manufactures mobile phones locally, wants to sell the building every year.

However, at that time, Japan also had interesting things in the mobile phone industry, that is, because of the tense relations between South Korea and Japan, a large factory in South Korea lost its own manufacturer's logo in order to sell mobile phones. I don't know whether to say that the three mournings are miserable, or whether to say that the Japanese people's technology of covering their ears and stealing bells is really first-class. Without the logo, it shouldn't be Korean goods, it's still Korean goods.

Speaking of the long way, it is normal for South Korea and Japan to have friction, after all, the two countries are next to each other, and geography is a big factor. However, there is a reason why Sanfu, a Korean company, is hated by Sony, Dongli, Sharp, and other Japanese manufacturers. At that time, Japanese manufacturers were all producing plasma TVs, and Sanfu had just started the TV business at that time, and he was like a little brother, waiting for the old Japanese big brothers. Foot front and foot back say that plasma TV is really good, plasma TV is awesome.

The Japanese big brother was fooled. spent a lot of money to study plasma TVs and take this technology line. And when the three mourners followed the small investment behind, they were spending a lot of effort to develop LCD TVs in private.

At that time, compared with plasma TVs and LCD TVs, plasma TVs did have richer colors and more delicate display effects. At that time, LCD TVs had a lot of problems, an important one. It is the inherent defect of the LCD screen - dragging.

This kind of smearing effect affects the viewing experience very much, but at the same time. LCD also has an advantage, which is that it is cheap.

While touting the Japanese big brother, the three mourners developed their own LCD TVs. Waiting for Japanese manufacturers, when the road of plasma is going farther and farther. Solved the LCD screen drag of Samsung. Suddenly began to sell LCD TVs cheaply.

It only took a fraction of the price of plasma TVs of the same size to start selling,It didn't take long for the original large-screen plasma TV market,It was replaced by the LCD TV market。

The Japanese big brother, seeing the declining sales, realized that he had been fooled by the Korean followers.

When they turned around again and started to develop LCD TVs, they found that they had a two-year gap with South Korea's three lost technologies. It's not easy to catch up. And even if it catches up, the market for LCD TVs is almost saturated. The bulk of the profits has been wiped out by the three mourners.

Of course, South Korea's three mourners also have a younger brother, that is, a number of Taiwanese manufacturers. The United States and Europe, for various reasons, have long been eliminated from this game.

Perhaps, some people will ask, wasn't the TV in the beginning bad?

Well, of course it's good. Some people may remember that the kind of big head display that needs to be demagnetized. The refresh rate can reach a terrible two hundred. The refresh rate of the ordinary LCD screen is about sixty.

The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the display. But. The big head display, its problem, is its big head.

Its principle is similar to projection, when you are small, it is fine, you can't see anything. When people's requirements for TVs are getting higher and higher, and they want the screen to be bigger and bigger. The problem arises. That is, its head is too big, too big to accept.

Originally, in the previous living room decoration, some people deliberately dug a hole in the wall in order to put the TV, just to make the TV occupy less space in the living room and look flatter.

And plasma TVs and LCD TVs,Because of the inherent characteristics,The thickness can be very small,So,Eliminate big-head TVs。

Lin Yan plugged the radio frequency cable into his twelve-inch black and white TV. Get ready to start the game and see if there are any problems.

When he was about to play, and before he started playing, he heard someone shouting outside the window, and Lin Yan pushed the window to see that it was Yuki Sakata outside.

"Stop shouting, come in and go upstairs and show you something good!" Lin Yan beckoned to Sakata Yuki.

Perhaps, Sakata's nose may be a treasure hunting radar, Lin Yan found that every time he made something good, he could appear by his side on time. It's a magical thing.

"Xiaoyan, what a good thing." Yuki Sakata held something in his hand and probed into Lin Yan's room step by step.

"This is it." Lin Yan pointed to the home video game console on the head of the TV and said.

"What is this?" Yuki Sakata's intelligence may have been beaten into a negative number by his sister, and Hayashi really sympathizes with him.

"No matter what it is, Xiaoyan, you said it was a good thing, it must be a good thing. I have something good to do here, so I'll give you one. Yuki Sakata handed over a paper bag.

Lin Yan opened the paper bag and saw a golden bombed squid covered in breadcrumbs lying inside, and asked, "Where did you buy this?" ”

"I bought it on the side of the road, Xiaoyan, haven't you been out for a long time, your bombing big squid, now the streets and alleys are all over the place." Yuki Sakata looked at Hayashi with the eyes of an otaku.

Is Lin Yan an otaku, of course not, the places he has been to these days, speaking of which, it is really not a few. However, it's all with Chiba Yuki, bombing low-end food like big squid, and wanting to appear in Chiba Yuki's life is also a difficult thing to hear.

Even if the bombing of big squid is all over the streets and alleys, Lin Yan has no choice. He didn't patent it. It was originally for the school festival.,Food that came up temporarily.。 He didn't want to be a diet tycoon, so it didn't make much sense to patent this thing.

After all, it costs money to register a patent. After the patent protection period of a patent is 20 years, a total of $10,000 has to be paid in patent fees.

Lin Yan took a bite, the taste was okay, although it was a little worse than his own formula, but the gap was not big.

Food is such an easy thing to spread. Lin Yan thought while eating.

In three or two minutes, Lin Yan and Sakata Yuki ate all the bombed squid. Sakata Yuki looked at the small box and urged Lin Yan to say, "Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, you quickly get this and the box, let me see what kind of magical thing it is." ”

"Okay, good ......," Lin Yan said in a helpless tone. His tone was extremely similar to that of an eighty-year-old grandfather.

The group of kids downstairs came again, playing with the only arcade machine in the store, and shouting.

Lin Yan plugged in the game cartridge, pressed the on/off button, the music played, and the game screen appeared on the twelve-inch small screen.

"Is this a video game console?" Yuki Sakata's mouth opened wide, he was surprised, with his IQ of being beaten into a negative number by his sister, it was difficult to understand why the hardware that could only be put down in the big street machine could be stuffed into such a small box that was only the size of a book and the thickness of several books.

Before he could finish his surprise, when he saw the game screen on the TV screen, he asked again, "What kind of game is this?" How I haven't seen it. I also went to the game conference.,I've seen a lot of games.,But I've never seen this machine.,Haven't seen this game...... Xiaoyan, is this a black technology you made? ”

Yuki Sakata turned his head and looked at Lin Yan and asked.

"Well, I made it. However, it's not black technology, it's all made from existing things. Lin Yan replied.

The word black technology was said by Lin Yan inadvertently, and it was remembered by Yuki Sakata. The meaning of black technology is to use some impossible technology to make something.

The word, long is used to describe Sony.

Sony, once known as the "Sony of technology", at that time, Sony often introduced devices with revolutionary functions.

However, later there was no advantage in technology, and the "Sony of technology" became "Sony of appearance". (To be continued.) )
