Contra, also known as Contra, is a side-scrolling shooter developed in 1987 by the Japanese company Konami. The platform covers all major platforms, such as large game consoles, home consoles, home computers and other devices.

This game is very interesting, the story is based on the famous horror film "Alien", the characters are famous movie stars Schwarzenegger and Stallone, both muscular men.

"Contra" is the Chinese pronunciation of Indian Sanskrit and is one of the Brahmin fighters. According to legend, "Contra" is a god who stands upright after being killed in battle, and is worshiped by the world, which can be said to be a spiritual symbol of a samurai in India.

This was the first shooting game Lin Hong played, and the variety of weapons opened his eyes.

Shooting games, although the operation is very simple, just a simple design plus running and jumping, but the accuracy of the operation is very high, and this is Lin Hong's strength, so he just hung up a few times at the beginning because he was not familiar with the game, and then he was like a fish in water, and the bullet could not touch the edge at all, and Sun Wu was not as powerful as him, basically Lin Hong's one life was equivalent to his five or six lives.

Contra is a very fast-paced game, and the player is in a very progressive state throughout, and you can't stay in the same place for too long, you have to run differently or you'll be bombarded with countless shells.

The two of them quickly beat the game.

Then he inserted the cassette of "Three Kingdoms II".

"Three Kingdoms II" is a sequel to the original game of the same name "Heaven and Earth Devouring" by Hiroshi Honguya, and its background is the battle of the Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms, which is familiar to all Chinese.

This is a very good side-scrolling game, Sun Wu likes it very much, and his favorite characters are Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun in it.

But after Lin Hong played for a while, he felt a little awkward, and it was really difficult for him to understand some of the settings in it.

For example, there are five characters to choose from in this game, but these five people are not the five tiger generals of Xishu, but Wei Yan is used instead of Ma Chao, and in addition, the veteran Huang Zhong should not appear in this period.

Lin Hong told Sun Wu about this, and the other party only realized this at this moment, but he didn't care about this at all, as long as the game was fun, it didn't matter so much to him.

Although the setting is a little difficult to understand, after Lin Hong played for a while, he had to admit that this is a super good game. The attack methods are very rich, just the back fall has a grappling, throwing, jumping, sitting and other differences, each character also has their own unique special ultimate, you can also run like "Dinosaur Wars", there are blood-draining tricks and forward attacks.

These rich elements greatly increase the fun of this game, and it is easy to get addicted to it.

Although Lin Hong was playing for the first time, it was easy to get started under Sun Wu's prompting. And because of the precise control, he soon played more proficiently than Sun Wu, and at the beginning, he occasionally took two hits, and in the end, he almost didn't have to consume blood, and after playing a lot of cards, he didn't lose a single life.

Sun Wu called "perverted", and he found that Lin Hong's technique of playing games was even more terrifying than before.

He played the role of Zhang Fei, took a brave path, dared to rush and fight, and rushed to the front every time, no matter whether it was a small minion or a boss in front, he always rushed, smashed the big fist of the casserole, and had a lot of fun.

Soon, Lin Hong discovered a problem - Zhang Fei's life seemed to be endless, and by now, at least five lives had been lost.

Does this game have so many lives?

Lin Hong took a look at the life count on it, it seems that there are only two, right?

But why can he keep playing like this?

This is certainly not normal, game companies will not make such mistakes, only difficult games will be sought after by everyone, and they will be more durable to play. If you can go on like this, it's cool, but it's a bug, and it's not a good thing for game companies. Normally, a game company would not make such a low-level mistake.

Seeing that Sun Wu had taken another life, Lin Hong finally couldn't help but ask:

"Isn't that right? Why are you always fatal? ”

Sun Wu hung up the boss Lu Bu with several blood-consuming ultimates in a row, and then smiled and said:

"This cassette is not genuine, it is a pirated card, and the number of lives has been cracked, and you can connect it infinitely by pressing this key."

"Pirated cards?" Lin Hong was very strange, "What do you say?" ”

finally had the opportunity to show off in front of Lin Hong, Sun Wu felt very happy, he had been studying this these days, and in fact, he had already had this thought in his heart. So, he stopped playing the game and paused it.

"Look at this cassette." Sun Wu picked up the previous "Contra" and put it in front of Lin Hong, "Do you see the difference between them?" ”

Lin Hong had already noticed: "Contra looks more refined. ”

"yes. You look at this pattern, as well as the material, it is obvious that "Contra" is better, this cassette is genuine, it is heavy in your hand, it is full of memory cards, and there is no falsehood. ”

These things were all said by Gu Wei to Sun Wu at the beginning, and now he is in turn and introduces them to Lin Hong, although the statement may be a little different, but the content is almost the same.

"The Three Kingdoms II we are playing is a pirated card, which is not produced by the game company itself, but imitated and copied by others." Sun Wu raised his chin and gestured.

"This can also be imitated?" Lin Hong's eyes widened.

"Absolutely! Since ancient times, there has been a shield and a spear, although those game manufacturers continue to develop encryption technology, making it more and more difficult to crack the game, but the shield is a shield after all, and you can always find a spear that can break it. Sun Wu looked confident, his eyes looked into the distance, like a philosopher who saw through the truth of the world, and there was a solemn aura on his face.

When Lin Hong heard this, he had some thoughts in his heart, and after a long time, he glanced at him: "This is not what you discovered, right?" ”

"Uh......"

Sun Wu's face froze, and he scolded with a smile: "If you don't tell the truth, you will die!" ”

"This is what a friend of mine told me, he is a master in this field, specializing in cracking these games, and his skills are famous in the entire Zhongguancun!"

Speaking of this new friend, Sun Wu admired him tightly, and the other party's age was not very old, only three or four years older than him, but he had been in this business for several years. In addition to Lin Hong, Gu Wei is the second young man he really admires.

"Hongzi, do you want me to introduce you, you both understand technology, and there must be a lot of common language between each other. His skills are really good, even large arcade games can be cracked, I've seen it with my own eyes, it's really good! ”

"Look at these two yellow cards, they are his masterpieces, the material is worse than the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms belongs to the early pirated cards, almost in accordance with the genuine specifications to imitate, relatively speaking, it is also a more exquisite cassette. But these two cards, which are the only recent D-cards, make extensive use of VLSI circuits and integrate all the data into a black bump......"

As he spoke, Sun Wu used his fingernails to push along the gap in the cassette shell of the cassette, and then broke the shell of the yellow card, revealing a thin circuit board inside.

"Don't look at it, it's just such a small thing.,There's a lot of games in it.,See the content here.,Twenty-in-one!"

"There are twenty games in there?"

Lin Hong looked at the inconspicuous little slice in his hand in shock, he really couldn't imagine that it contained as many as twenty games.

He also has game cards here, but it's much more than that, with a dense patch of various electrical modules.

"Hey, do you know what kind of technology this is?" Sun Wu asked, and before Lin Hong could answer, he revealed the answer, "This is VLSI technology, the English abbreviation is VLSI, as for the full English name, I can't remember, it's very long anyway." Gu Wei said that although our domestic computer manufacturing is very backward in the world, its technology is very strong and it is ahead of the world in this field. It is said that this cracking technology has caused a very big sensation in Japan, and they are dumbfounded to see many of their games encapsulated in such a small card, hehe......"

VLSI?

Lin Hong was completely moved by Sun Wu's words at this moment, and he really wanted to meet the master named Gu Wei.

It wasn't until this moment that he knew that there were still many masters in this area in China, but he had never been in contact with them.

"Takeko, where is that friend of yours?"

"It's in the village of Nakag. There is a famous electronic street in the country, any electronic products can be bought, including computers and game consoles, a small street, gathered thousands of high-tech enterprises, tsk, it is really spectacular! However, few people know that there, there is also an underground cracking world, which can be seen in all kinds of games all over the world, and many pirated cards in the capital city are circulated from here......"

Hearing his words, Lin Hong was very shocked in his heart.

Naka-g Village?

Underground hack the world?

Is there such a place in the capital?

Cracking, a very vivid word, simple and crude, made a picture involuntarily appear in Lin Hong's mind-

A man with an axe slashed at a tightly sealed box, and through his efforts, the secrets inside were revealed step by step......

"Wuzi, let's go, let's go to Zhongguancun!" Lin Hong couldn't wait.

Sun Wu was stunned: "Now? The game isn't over yet. ”

"Let's play the game again, let's finish visiting Zhongg Village first."
