After the party, Jester returns to Costa Mesa's house, and I don't know if it was because of the cold wind blowing after drinking, Jester suddenly fell ill.

has been a high fever for several days, and after his high fever subsided, the Olympic Games had opened for three days, and China finally won the first Olympic gold medal in history.

During this period, Qin Shuyao also came to see him once, and Jester still had some regrets that he missed the historical moment of Xu Haifeng's first gold.

However, after he recovered from his illness, he had to return to more intense work, and the Olympics could not be seen.

First of all, a sample of "GAME" was released.

The sample of zuò made of full-color coated paper is very beautiful, with a handsome and elegant photograph of Mark Seni wearing a pair of glasses, and two tanks in battle with the flags of the Soviet Union and the United States painted on the bottom, with large letters marked in red at the bottom.

"Mars Entertainment's first PC game, Guild Wars City!"

Jester flipped through the sample magazine casually, and it felt quite good, not much better than those of later generations.

Putting the sample to the side, Jester was still a little weak, and his voice was not very loud: "Good job, just print it like this." ”

Adrian, who was beside him, nodded, signaling that he understood.

Then Jester continued: "In the future, you can make your own decisions about the magazine, you don't need to come to me for anything important, I came to you to let you be the editor-in-chief of this magazine, not for me to be an assistant." ”

"Understood." Adrian's eyes flashed with a look of excitement, although Jester said this politely, as if he was reprimanding him, but he could hear that Jester was very satisfied with himself after reading the sample he designed, and was ready to officially delegate power to himself.

After all, no one wants to be a puppet.

"The floppy disk of the Guild Wars demo has already been copied 100,000 copies, and we want to print 100,000 copies of the first issue of the magazine?"

Although he is very confident in the inaugural issue of his own production and the quality of "Guild Wars", 100,000 copies is still an unattainable number for a magazine that has just been released, and you must know that he used to work in the magazine called "Software", so far, the highest sales of a single issue have not exceeded 80,000.

"Huh."

Jester just smiled, he waved his hand disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, the price of a PC game is more than 30 US dollars now, although our game is a trial version, but the content and quality completely surpass other PC games, and our inaugural issue is only how much is it?" Because it comes with a demo version, the price is increased by 30%, and it is only 20 dollars. Just this one game is worth the price. I originally planned to print 200,000 copies directly, but after thinking about it for a while, I gave a conservative figure of 100,000 copies. ”

"Okay then." Since his boss spoke, Adrian didn't say anything, nodded and agreed.

In recent days, Jester has made people guò guò various channels to spread the news that Mars Entertainment is making a PC game, and several employees of Mars Entertainment, who did not want to disclose their names, also said vaguely after an interview with the media that there is indeed a zài game, and it was designed by their boss Jester himself.

Moreover, Mars Entertainment did not deny this news.

As soon as this news was broadcast, it immediately made Mars Entertainment and Jester Lee fans excited.

They were finally able to play Mars Entertainment games at home!

You have to know what kind of crazy phenomenon those three new games of Mars Entertainment have caused throughout the United States.

Recently, the first batch of "Bejeweled", "Bubble Dragon", and "Zuma" shipped first after the substrate was assembled, and many players who had just participated in the trial and media reports had blown these new games of Mars Entertainment to the gods, and the players who did not have the opportunity to try it themselves poured into the arcade hall that had just been in stock.

Because the players were so enthusiastic, some arcade store owners even directly raised the price of these three games to a sky-high price of five dollars a game currency, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of players.

In front of every Mars Entertainment arcade machine, there is at least a long queue of more than twenty people.

Some arcade shop owners have earned all their investment back in just one day.

Then, this once again detonated the enthusiasm of those arcade shop owners who were still waiting, and they hurriedly placed orders for Fengxing Release, and even increased the price of each unit by another 1,000 dollars on the basis of the original price, and they had only one condition, to get the spot as quickly as possible.

In just a few days, "Bejeweled", "Bubble Bobble" and "Zuma" also received orders for a total of 15,000 units again.

Especially for the release of these three games of Mars Entertainment, the sales of "American Cubes" have almost stagnated, so far, from the release in June to now for nearly two months, "American Cubes" has sold a total of 23,000 units, according to the price of $6,000 each, a total of nearly $140 million in sales, according to Jester's estimates, the saturation of "American Cubes" is almost the same, unless he is willing to reduce the price significantly, otherwise it is unlikely that he can still ship a large scale.

After all, players now have a significantly larger selection of games to choose from after the release of their latest three games.

However, in the contract signed by Jester with the Schwell Group, he promised that he would not sell it at a reduced price before Christmas, and Jester didn't care, after all, even if he greatly reduced the price of the arcade machine of "American Cubes", the sales could temporarily blow out, but it would not be too much.

And as Jester's Mars Entertainment has re-established the arcade market, many other game companies that have not died in the previous Atari impact have also taken aim at the big cake of arcades and have invested in it.

However, it may be that the quality of their games is not high, and the playability is not large, originally when players were a little annoyed with playing "American Cubes", they were still somewhat interested in these games that could only be regarded as general, but when these three new games of Mars Entertainment came out, they immediately became a sweep, and these arcade games from other manufacturers were immediately swept into the trash by players.

Because Jester has dropped a lot in price compared to "American Cubes", the sales of these three new games have dropped a lot compared to "American Cubes", so the sales have been extremely stable since then, and this time after the official shipment, it once again caused a wave of elimination games, and also made the sales soar again.

Although Fengxing has not yet made accurate sales figures, so far, these three games have sold at least 35,000 units in total.

As for "Frost Brothers", because it has not yet been officially produced, it only detonated sales at the beginning with the news of the trial meeting, and received an advance payment of nearly 20,000 units, and subsequent sales have basically stagnated.

However, this time, the arcade frenzy rekindled by these three elimination games unexpectedly once again made the eyes of those arcade hall owners focus on the latest "Snowman Brothers" of Mars Entertainment, which has not yet been officially sold and only provides pre-sale.

After all, the four games currently released by Mars Entertainment have not disappointed any player who supports them, so some arcade hall owners who were still a little hesitant because the price of "Snowman Brothers" was too expensive, and did not pre-order at the first time after the trial ended immediately made their bets, so, with the hot sales of "Bejeweled", "Zuma" and "Bubble Dragon", "Snowman Brothers" also began to grow in sales exponentially, and the number of increases, It's a lot higher than the other three match-matching games that have already sparked a player arcade frenzy.

After these three games only sold an average of 5,000 units per game, the total sales of "Snowman Brothers" are approaching the 30,000 unit mark!

This is a result that has made everyone look sideways, and when a statistical agency estimates the current possible sales of Mars Entertainment, the whole United States was shocked.

A whole half billion dollars!

And then almost everyone is asking the media and experts who keep saying that video games are dead and that investing in video games is an investment that has no future, how do you explain the miracle created by Mars Entertainment.

Then, almost all the media that have said before that video games are dead, that Mars Entertainment will continue to sink deeper and deeper into it, and that it will be difficult to get out of the quagmire and other news are collectively silent, but some investors still firmly believe in their own views, because in the home game console market, Atari's game consoles are still at the freezing point, and in any mall in the United States, as long as it is related to Atari, it cannot be sold.

In less than two months and less than three months, Mars Entertainment has only produced five games, of which only four have been released, and the fifth "Snowman Brothers", which is known as the largest investment in the production of Zuò, has not even begun to officially produce the substrate, and even the orders for the other three games have been scheduled for eighty-five years.

Even so, the red-eyed arcade owners who were stimulated by the crazy players almost didn't need to think about it and kept placing orders for Mars Entertainment, regardless of the price, as long as the speed.

Even some arcade hall owners who bought these three games of Mars Entertainment in advance don't need to pick up the goods at all, they only need to take the bill of lading, and they can directly sell them to countless people who are waiting to get the goods at double the price.

It's nothing short of profiteering.

Even some media outlets have coined a term for the crazy behavior of players triggered by Mars Entertainment's two game launches.

It's called the Martian phenomenon.

With Mars Entertainment relying on the quality of the game and the trust of players this time, after announcing its position in a devastating form, it finally made the already dead American video game market no longer just a wave.

And there were ripples in circles and circles.

Atari has officially announced that their home console VCS7200 will be officially released by the end of the year, and it will be compatible with all VCS2600 games.

This also caused an uproar in the industry.

After all, countless people still remember that after the success of "American Cubes", Trammell used that disdainful expression to say three NEVER's arrogant looks when he was interviewed.

"Haha......"

Jester laughed and threw the newspaper on the table with Atari's return to the home console scene, seeing the news that Trammell had licked back into what he had said, Jester was a little depressed because he was sick and didn't see the opening ceremony of the Olympics and Xu Haifeng's first gold medal.
