Although the game is finished, it is only a half-finished game based on the IBM5150 zuò, and according to the development process of later generations, this is only an alpha version.

So Jester's work is far from over.

He rummaged around his room at the tossed electronic components, hoping to piece together an arcade board that could run American cubes.

It was at this moment that he heard a voice from the living room outside the door.

Jester subconsciously looked up at the clock on the wall, which showed the time as twelve thirty.

"It's been morning so soon......"

In the morning, when Jester looked in the bathroom to make sure who he was, he looked at the time, it was just after seven o'clock, and he didn't realize that he didn't realize the loss of time, for him, it was almost just time to smoke a cigarette or drink a cup of tea.

According to the body's memories, Jester's mother should still be looking after the supermarket at this time, and his father rarely comes home at noon.

Intrigued, Jester pushed open the bedroom door and stepped into the living room.

Jester's father was sitting on the couch, talking to a young man who looked about his age, with blond hair and eyes, and a somewhat quiet and shy look.

Seeing Jester come out of the room, Jester's father also stood up with a smile on his face.

"Hey Jace, let me introduce you, this is my colleague Mark Saini, a wonderful game designer, only a year older than you, but he has already made such a great game as Marble-Madness! Don't you like to play? ”

Jester's father warmly introduced Jester to the young man next to him, and the young man greeted Jester warmly.

"Jace, I can call you that, right? Heard you're a student at the University of California? So we still have some roots! I'm USC! "Mark Saini may seem shy, but he is not like that, he is a very talkative, sunny and joking person.

As soon as he met Jester for the first time, he made a harmless joke.

Because it is well known that USC, which faces UCLA, is a sworn enemy of them, and the two sides once played a 50-0 match in a national college football league.

The winner was the University of Southern California.

Since then, the two sides have hardly fought to the death.

But Jester doesn't feel anything about it at all, because he's not essentially a UCLA student at all.

But when he heard the name, he still stood on the spot in surprise, looking at the unusually young face in front of him, in his memory, he had seen the photo thirty years later was still a little similar, the same eyes, seemed to be full of passion, confidence and wisdom.

Is this Mark Saini? It's Mark Saini!

Although Jester was the dominant player of the whole model before his rebirth, he was still a genuine dog in essence, firmly believing that Sony's Dafa was good and retiring to ensure safety.

Yes, Jester was indeed a diehard of Ren Hell like many people before, after all, he grew up playing Ren Hell's games, but when he saw that other manufacturers were out of HD games, but Ren Hell was still using mosaic pictures to fry cold rice to make hard-earned money from diehards, he couldn't bear it.

Grass mud horse's full-screen gameplay.

Ren Hell occupies the pit and doesn't, it's an unforgivable crime, a public enemy in the industry, can't any fan of Ren Hell think that if PM is in Sony's hands, then won't you be able to play PM with a bombing picture?

No player with a conscience will refuse the HD version of PM, in other words, anyone who rejects the HD version of PM is a player without a conscience.

If you have to play mosaic, you deserve to have no IQ.

As a qualified dog, how could you not know Mark Saini!

Idol!

Any large game company will have a character with their soul, like Shigeyuki Miyamoto and Ren Jigoku, Hiroyuki Suzuki and Sega, and such a character in Sony Games is Mark Saini.

A true soul man who led the rise of Sony games.

This is a true god, and it is not an exaggeration to call it legendary.

Jester was caught up in his memory, remembering that he was indeed working on arcade games at Atari at this time, just out of college, but probably after the depression of the American game industry after the Atari shock, he would go to Japan next year to join Sega.

Yes, although he is only a small designer of Atari arcade games, in the future, he will be the head of the Sonic project for Sega, and it is he who single-handedly designed the classic pink hedgehog, Sonic's girlfriend Amy, and then he served as the global vice president of Universal Entertainment, and finally joined Sony Games and became the soul of Sony Games.

Moreover, he is very good at promoting new people.

Later, the two founders of the famous Naughty Dog called him his spiritual mentor, and even said unceremoniously that without Mark Saini, there would be no Naughty Dog.

Even ICETEAM, which he set up and served as a supervisor and consultant himself, has made countless outstanding contributions to Sony.

Just look at these thunderous names!

Uncharted series, God of War series, Crash Bandicoot series, Ratchet & Clank series, plus Armageddon America......

Suffice it to say, without Mark Saini and his ICETEAM technical support, Sony's North American top three and Insonic-games would not have the world's best game graphics for Sony's first-party games.

Of course, he is not best known for these, nor for his Saini theory on game design, which has been cited as a credo by countless designers, nor for the Lifetime Achievement Award he received from the Game Developers Council (GDC), the Oscar of the gaming industry, the Nobel Prize.

Instead, his hero at Sony, Ken Kutaragi, resigned due to a mistake in the development of the PS3, and Sony Games was on the verge of loss and failure, and he accepted a new job as a software engineer who had never experienced hardware development, that is, the chief architect of the PS4.

This looks like a bit of a wind and a cold water, and the strong man is gone.

For the SEC and even for Sony as a whole, the PS4, as the last remaining flagship, cannot tolerate any failure, otherwise it may be a fatal blow to this behemoth.

But just after the appointment of Mark Saini, it seemed that almost everyone at the time thought that Sony was crazy, and that it was not crazy to let a person who wrote software to do hardware.

Even if this software writer is already full of reputation.

But it was Mark Saini who made everyone understand what it means to be ordered in times of crisis, and the country is unique!

The PS4 has been on sale for 10 months and has sold more than 10 million in total!

This is still the result of not having any first-party masterpieces on sale.

And their rival, Microsoft's XBO, has just over five million sales.

Victory!

is such a character, who appears alive in front of him.

How do you let a dog not get excited?

What the? Aren't you excited? Because you're not a dog.

"I... I..."

For a moment, Jester was even a little speechless with excitement.

Seeing Jester's appearance, Jester's father smiled and said to Mark Seny: "Mark, let me tell you, my son is your fan, and his favorite game is your game!" ”

"Yes, I like your game very much, very, very much!" Jester was a little uncontrollable, and said in a tone that could be said to be eager.

He's not lying by that, but what he likes is not the arcade games he makes now, but the masterpieces that he will make later.

"Thank you."

Obviously, as a young man who has just turned 20 this year and has not even had his 20th birthday, Mark Seni is far from being able to show a light breeze when he encounters praise from others after becoming a big name in the industry.

He was also a young man who longed to be recognized, and he was just a small designer with a dream of designing games at Atari.

So he was also very happy, the smile on his face was even stronger, and he kept saying thank you in his mouth.

At this moment, Jester's father's voice rang out again.

"By the way, Jace, what have you been doing in your room just now, I don't think you came out all morning."

Hearing his father's question, even though he had no real contact with him, he knew from the memory of the owner of the body, and Jester knew that his father loved him very much.

Moreover, what he is going to do next will also need his father's help to succeed.

Although I know a little bit about hardware, it may not be a problem to build one or two usable arcade machines by myself, but it is far from that simple to make a real commercial arcade machine.

And his father is a very good arcade engineer, and many of Atari's best-selling arcade machines were designed by his father.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly had an inspiration to write a new game by myself, a game that I haven't had at all!"

Jester said in a deliberately flat tone, even though he was thrilled to death, after all, this was the beginning of that huge dream in his head.

"The game you make?"

Jester's father had a suspicious look on his face, and even though he knew that his son was very good at programming, he also knew that his son lacked the unbridled imagination necessary for a game designer.

He believed that his son had the technical ability to write a game, but he didn't believe much in his creative ability.

"Maybe it's just a parody of some kind of game." Jester's father thought to himself, he didn't care, and he knew that designing a new game wasn't as easy as it seemed.

"I wrote it." Jester said affirmatively, a deliberate look of displeasure on his face, as if an annoyance at his father's skeptical tone.

At this time, Mark Saini spoke at the right time.

"Can I take a look at the game you've made?"

"Of course!"

Jester smiled and agreed, this was what he was waiting for, although he had not yet applied for a patent, he was not afraid that Mark Seni would copy his idea for this game, firstly, he had his own father as a witness, and secondly, he knew that Mark Seni was not such a villain.

"What's the name of the game? What type. ”

As Jester led the two of them to his room, his father asked.

Jester didn't look back, but replied in a slightly excited tone: "American Cube, I call him American Cube!" What type? I think it's a puzzle. ”
