Seeing such a scene, Jester only sighed.

I don't know why, it's very abrupt, there is such a poem in Jester's heart, it is a poem of the Qing people, the red face has been like a famous general since ancient times, and the world is not allowed to see the white head, maybe this poem is not particularly suitable here, but it is for no reason, this poem jumped out of Jester's mind.

Think about how majestic Atari was back then.

Jester has never worried about the fate of his Mars Entertainment, he knows the context of history, and his company may have some ups and downs due to the change of history, but he believes that his company will definitely not follow in the footsteps of Atari.

Atari's failure on the new console has nothing to do with their console, the 7200 is a very good console, although not as good as their own Dreambox, but not inferior to NES, the reason why they will fail in the return to the video game world, is just to pay for their former Atari shock, amazingly, there is no game company, third-party developers willing to develop games for Atari.

And their own development capabilities can't support their own hosts at all.

It is very, very difficult to support one's own console with only one's own products, and Jester's current Mars Entertainment can only be said to be supporting most of it by itself, but Jester knows that Nintendo has been working for more than ten years like a company supporting a platform.

Regardless of the reasons of its rivals, this is indeed a great company that deserves the respect of all those who work in the game.

Not to mention their games that serve as benchmarks and lead the world game industry forward, just this kind of spirit is worthy of admiration, in Jester's mind, although it often hacks Nintendo. But for Nintendo, the respect for Mr. Yamauchi will not be half a point inferior to Hayabusa Nakayama, who has the title of Contra.

"Hats off to those who have died and will die at sea."

Recent. This one used to be on a beach in favor of the Mediterranean. The inscription in tribute to the warriors who bravely challenged the harshest of nature was once again revealed, and appeared in many media and newspapers.

This is the 463rd anniversary of Magellan's voyage around the world, which is not an obvious round number of years, but they always go out of their way to commemorate the most revered historical event for white people. It doesn't matter if it's a whole year or not.

In fact, people with a heart have long found that in the past two months, there have been some abnormalities in the reports in some newspapers, like for no reason, every once in a while, there will be some stories about the Age of Discovery, and after being edited for a certain amount of time, they will appear in the newspaper in a grand manner, and wait for the new work of a studio under Mars Entertainment, after the game with the theme of the official Age of Exploration is officially revealed. Only then did people suddenly realize who was doing the ghost in the middle.

With the past two months, Mars Entertainment has spared no effort to promote the great era of the Age of Discovery. Many people, familiar or unfamiliar with this period of history, have regained interest in this period.

For Jester, that's enough.

Sid. Mel's attitude towards the game can no longer be described as rigorous, in Jester's words, it is harsh, and it seems that Sid. For Mel, asking him to make a game is not about making a game that entertains the public. Rather, it is a scientific research and development that allows for no mistakes or omissions. Jester had a bad temper when developing the game, and sometimes some of the mistakes were too low-level. Jester also doesn't hesitate to scold, so Jester is often called a tyrant by his men.

But Jester vs. Sid. Melna is a small thing.

For Sid. Mel's literacy of simulation games, Jester is absolutely assured, the father of civilization's understanding of this kind of simulation games, is not comparable to himself at all, even if he has many games in later generations as a reference, but with Sid. Compared to Mel, there is still a big inferiority, especially when Jester hears Sid. When Mel talks about the game he has in mind that covers the entire history of human civilization, Jester realizes that he has nothing to give Sid. Mel built yì.

However, in this "Age of Discovery", Jester still has a lot of buildings, and most of these buildings are from the masterpiece of the same name that came from the later dark glory.

This setting that strengthens the RPG elements also makes Sid. Mel thought it was amazing, especially in the Age of Discovery, a time when everyone wanted to be a hero.

Metroid sales are on the front lines, especially in the Japanese market, and it's even more popular than when The Legend of Zelda was released a few months ago, especially with a female character playing the leading role.

Although Jester has long known that Nintendo, which can dominate the video game industry for two whole eras, is not so easy to beat, but Nintendo's resilience still surprised him.

Come to think of it, a game company with much stronger R&D capabilities than Sega in history, a large number of third-party companies to support it, and a huge Japanese market, in any case, this is unlikely to be a company that can break through in a fight.

On the contrary, now they occupy a dominant advantage in the North American market, and they are also won by the reputation established by an excellent game, if they dare to relax a little, they may be caught up by Nintendo, through these two games, "The Legend of Zelda" and "Metroid", not only Jester, including the entire Mars Entertainment originally had some disdain for Nintendo, but also thoroughly knew what a strong company this was.

Sales exceeded 1.5 million units in a week, which is more vigorous than a month ago "Heavy Loader", of course, the first week of "Heavy Loader" did not release the Japanese version, and "Metroid" is the Japanese version of the American version of the same release has a certain advantage, but even if you count the sales of "Heavy Loader" in Japan in the first week, the sales of "Heavy Loader" in the first week in the United States and the first week in Japan are just similar to "Metroid".

And in the subsequent sales list, these two games are also difficult to solve.

Sid. Mel's Age of Exploration didn't make it to the Christmas sale, much to the dissatisfaction of players who had already had an appetite and were looking forward to it, but fortunately it wasn't too late, and finally it was officially released at Christmas time with Jester's full support.

For this game, Jester doesn't take the sales so seriously, after all, this is a simulation-oriented game, although a lot of RPG elements have been added, but relatively speaking, it is still based on simulation as the main gameplay, which is very different from "Fire Emblem", when Jester made Zuò "Fire Emblem", it was actually the RPG elements of "Fire Emblem" were far strengthened.

Otherwise, relying on the setting of "Fire Emblem" that is too prominent in SLG, it is extremely difficult to open such a brilliant situation in this era.

And "The Age of Discovery" can be completely different, in Sid. In Mel's hands, this is a simulation game with RPG elements.

When the game was released, Jester was actually nervous, hoping that the game would do well, but he was worried that the game would fail.

On the day of the release on New Year's Day, although it is the New Year, this game is not produced by Jester, but there are still many fans of Mars Entertainment, because the final official version of this game was determined too late, and even the review editors of "Game" magazine did not get the game's cassette in advance, and when they got it, after the review, it could only be published in the first half of the next month.

Therefore, "Age of Discovery" was released at the same time as "Game".

Some people go to their favorite places to get a copy of "Game" and then wait for the release ceremony of "Age of Discovery", and by the way, double it in this magazine, and how the game is evaluated, also gives them a bottom in their hearts.

Masterpiece!

This is the evaluation of "Game" for "Age of Discovery" for this game, but in the later reviews, the editors of the magazine have a negative tone about this game, first of all, almost every editor who participated in the review, believes that this game is an out-and-out masterpiece, and even in the eyes of many players who like this way of playing, in the eyes of players who like the background of this era, this may be a better work than "Fire Emblem".

However, if you are not sensitive to this game mode, do not like trouble, and are not interested in "Age of Discovery", you will not like this game very much.

So,For the rating of this game,"Game" gave a score of thirty-nine,This is a score that they don't recognize internally,They think this game can give full marks,But this is a mediocre result,For the evaluation of this game,In addition to a masterpiece,This will be a,If you like him, you will love him.,If you don't like it, you'll hate him to death.。

Finally, Game magazine also predicted the game's sales.

All of their editors turned out to be very consistent this time, and this is a game that won't be a big hit.

When Jester saw this report, he knew that it would affect the sales of the game, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't interfere with the magazine, which he had promised at the beginning, and now he naturally won't break his oath.

Moreover, he is recognized.

It was in this case that Sid. Mel's Age of Exploration is officially on sale. (To be continued) R655
