"It's grand......"

Looking at the flow of people in front of him, Harrison, who participated in last year's Mars entertainment room, couldn't help but sigh.

The only difference between him and last year is that he only participated as an ordinary player or spectator last year, and it was also his luck at that time, because the carnival of Mars Entertainment was held for the first time, and at the beginning, the tickets were not particularly difficult to buy, so I bought one by myself.

If you wait for $5,000 a ticket, you may have to give it up.

Speaking of his own heart at the time, it was 5,000 dollars, just when he was queuing, someone offered this price to buy the ticket in his hand, and he didn't know what he was fascinated by at the time, so he refused directly, and now I think about it, if I give myself another chance, I may have to directly trade the ticket in my hand.

It's a pity that I originally wanted to start it as soon as possible this year, but because last year's Mars Entertainment carnival was too successful, by the time I wanted to buy tickets, the tickets had already been sold out.

However, this year's self is different from last year.

As an employee with some relationship to the owner of the magazine, Harrison naturally got the opportunity to represent the magazine at the Mars Entertainment Carnival, and instead of waiting in a long line for an hour or two to enter the exhibition center, as he did last year, he went directly to the special passage behind the Guò Anaheim Exhibition Center.

Harrison watched outside for a few minutes when he heard someone greet him.

He turned his head to see that it was the staff of Mars Entertainment, he immediately smiled on his face, and then walked over quickly, he knew that this was to pick him up from the special passage of the convention and exhibition center to enter the venue in advance, this time it was a little shorter than the time left for them in advance last year, only half an hour, and it was close to an hour last year.

However, it is said that the Mars Entertainment Carnival is reforming every year, and it seems that from the third session next year, there will be no preferential treatment for the media to enter in advance.

Harrison saw that the staff member in front of him had carefully checked the special entry pass in his hand several times, and had also called to confirm it before letting him go—when he passed through the special passage in Guò, the staff member gave him a map of the scene.

Opening the map, Harrison, who attended last year's carnival, glanced at it and knew that it was similar to last year's setup.

The main venue in Zone A, the largest of the Anaheim Convention Center, was the highlight of the carnival, and the map specifically indicated that at 9:30 a.m., Jester. Lee will give a presentation here, and the venue for Age of Empires, which has been touted by GAME, the most influential game magazine, is there.

Sure enough.

Harrison saw that, like himself, the members of the media who were now entering from the special passage in the back immediately set their first location in Area A after getting the map and looking through it casually.

And Harrison wasn't to be outdone.

"Where did "Thor's Hammer" be announced in Area A last year, which caused a great sensation, I don't know if this time "Age of Empires" can achieve the same effect as last year."

"Yes, I remember that after the carnival at that time, almost all the media and players called "Quake" the greatest game on the PC platform, even if you count the home console platform, there are few previews that can compare!"

"But in the last few years you've noticed, Jester. Lee seems to have shifted his interest in game development from home consoles to PCs, such as last year's Quake, and now Fantasy Simulator and Age of Empires......"

"yes, although we haven't played it yet, but if you look at the "GAME" reviews, you can see that their evaluation of "Dream Simulation Battle" is only a "game for Jester". Lee's level of just qualified games didn't surprise them, even though this game was the best of its kind. ”

"That's not the case with Age of Empires, and they say it's an incredible game!"

"Not only that, you can see if you look at the layout of the Mars Entertainment Carnival this time, the main venue is given to "Age of Empires", and "Dream Simulation Battle", which is also Jester's work, is only arranged in the third venue, and the trial machine is only half of "Age of Empires".

As Harrison walked briskly towards Area A, he heard similar discussions coming to his ears from time to time, and he thought so, as members of a regular game magazine, they could not get their hands on the Age of Empires test game before the carnival like GAME.

But all work within an industry, who doesn't have some friends.

Now that the magazines of "GAME" have been given the opportunity to test, some of the smaller ones can also get some news about these games from their friends, although the news about the game should be kept secret before the carnival, as long as they don't spread it themselves, then there is no problem.

Harrison, of course, had heard his colleague talk about Age of Empires before, and his colleague's friend was a member of GAME, and he said it from his friend who worked at GAME.

Thinking back to the content of the game "Age of Empires" described by his colleague, Harrison was naturally hot, he himself was a fan of the game "Civilization", but for him, "Civilization" was fun to play, but the game was a little too slow in terms of tempo.

So, when he heard how Age of Empires was played, a voice immediately appeared in his heart.

That's the game he wants.

The main venue of the Anaheim Convention Center is large and is now divided into two parts, one for the opening of the conference. The place where Li gave a speech had a rostrum and hundreds of seats, and although there were not many seats, there were about 1,000 people standing in the spare space.

And it doesn't matter if you are not on the scene, in the venue, there are large-size screens everywhere, and the main internal tongs will be broadcast live to the players in the venue in real time, so that people in the venue will not miss the wonderful content of the carnival.

This is also an improvement over last year, where some content was missed, just missed, which made many people feel sorry.

The other part of the main venue is all the trial area of "Age of Empires", which also draws on the experience of last year's "Quake", last year's "Quake" arranged more than 150 trial machines, originally thought that this was already a lot, but Mars Entertainment still greatly misestimated the enthusiasm of players for this game.

and the appeal that this game possesses.

This year, Mars Entertainment not only doubled the size of the trial machine to 300 units, but also exchanged the tickets in their hands for a special card with an account name and a password when each carnival participant entered.

And the test opportunity for Age of Empires is on this special card.

Harrison came to the test area of "Age of Empires" and randomly found an empty computer, and sat down on the seat in front of him, now it is only the early entry time of the media, so it is still extremely empty here, but after a while, after the players start to enter the venue, as a person who participated in last year's carnival, he naturally knows what kind of scene it is full of voices and hot cooking oil.

You know, last year he spent an hour and a half queuing to get in, and then waited in line for another hour and a half in the trial area of "Quake" to play for 20 minutes.

That's like now, you can enter early, you can play early.

It's a feeling like no other.

Turn on the computer,The first thing that catches Harrison's eyes is an image operating system,This system is no stranger to him,This is the WIN3.1 system that Microsoft has just launched,It is no worse than Apple's Macintosh computer in terms of convenience,And,The biggest advantage of this operating system is,This is not limited to computers,That is,It can be used on all compatible machines。

Apple's graphics operating system, on the other hand, can only be used on their backward Macintosh computers, not on other compatible machines, and Macintosh computers have long been unable to keep up with the times.

It is said that the development of the WIN3.1 operating system, and Jester's involvement, at least he provided a part of the development fund, which Bill Gates himself acquiesced, and most importantly, in the previous interview, Mars Entertainment also specifically stated this.

THAT'S AGE OF EMPIRES, WHICH CAN ONLY BE RUN ON WIN-3.0 AND ABOVE.

If Jester didn't have any special relationship with Microsoft's WIN system before, they wouldn't have made this setting specifically, but this is nothing for Harrison, because WIN3.0 is really easy to use, but many Apple users have complained about Jester's statement, because their Apple computers can't play Jester's games.

Thinking of this, Harrison seemed to think of something again, it seems that Jester uses a kind of discrimination against Apple, so many games of Mars Entertainment, there has never been an official Apple version, even the simplest minesweeper, Mars Entertainment has never launched an Apple version.
