Chapter 280: Trial Play
There were a lot of people gathered around Final Fantasy II, and Itagaki felt that it was his turn to try it out for a while, so he went to the front and bought two boxed Final Fantasy II cartridges, and by the way, he also got two scratch-off tickets.
This is a small means specially set up for rough promotion, which is very common in later generations, and Jester used it once before when the game was released, and the effect was good, so, every time Mars Entertainment released a new game, it would also engage in one, the prize is not valuable, the first prize is just a dreambox game console, the second prize is a game cartridge produced by Mars Entertainment, and the third prize is a redemption coupon, holding this volume, you can offset the amount of a certain tree when you buy Mars Entertainment products later.
However, the winning rate is not high, it is just a lottery.
After getting it, the Itagaki companion letter didn't scratch it.,Casually threw these two together with the two game cartridges of "Final Fantasy II" that he just bought into the bag.,It stands to reason that as a person who likes to gamble.,Itagaki companion letter should have been scratched immediately after getting the prize ticket.,But maybe he's in a hurry to find a game to play.,So he didn't bother about it.。
After turning around, there were fewer people in the place where Mars Entertainment's arcade products were displayed, so Itagaki Banshin walked quickly, and the classmate named Aokino, who had been talking to him for a long time, was also stopping here to watch.
Since Itagaki was not familiar with the games here, he followed Aokino's gaze and found that there were several arcades surrounded by the most people, much more than the surrounding arcades.
Aokino also saw Itagaki Companion, so he smiled and took the initiative to say: "The game on those arcade machines is called Street Fighter, and it is a fighting game from Mars Entertainment, and it hasn't been on sale for a long time even in the United States. We've only been officially released in Japan in the last few months, and I've played in the arcade a few times before, so it's a lot of fun! ”
Hear Aokino's explanation. Itagaki nodded without knowing whether he understood or not, and he took the initiative to step forward. Sticking his head out, the onlookers watched.
After watching it for more than ten minutes, Itagaki Companion understood that this game called "Street Fighter" seemed to be the same as the biographical novels of the swordsman he liked to read, that is, two characters, like the swordsman in the novel, started a duel, and those joysticks and buttons were to control how the characters in the zhì made moves.
Looking at the game screen in front of him, what came to the mind of Itagaki Companion was a paragraph about the duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro in the Miyamoto Musashi biography that he had just finished reading.
While thinking. Itagaki was a little excited, and he suddenly had the idea to play this game.
At the same time, because he was not very familiar with this game, he waited in line while waiting for the person in front of him to finish playing, and asked Aokino next to him about the gameplay of this game called "Street Fighter", but now this game may be like Aokino said, but it has just been released in Japan, and he has only played it a few times, so he is not very familiar, and he doesn't even recognize all the characters in it. I just knew some simple moves, so I told Itagaki Companion Letter.
And then I waited in the back slowly.
The end result is that Itagaki Companion gets carried away with Aokino at the end. Missed an afternoon Shinkansen, and it was unlikely that Itagaki would like to listen to his favorite professor's class in the evening, although he regretted it a little, but obviously, even if he left the flagship store of Mars Entertainment, it was still easy to see from Itagaki Companion's face that he was still a little unsatisfied with today's experience.
In addition to the handy bag in his hand, he carried the handy bag that contained the two game cartridges he had just bought. He also held a boxy, not too big and not too small box in his hand.
This box is beautifully printed. It's printed with the words "dreambox" in English and Japanese, obviously. There is a dreambox machine installed in it, which is not bought by Itagaki Companion himself, but he just got those two from it
Scratch tickets are drawn from the lottery.
Because of this shit luck, Itagaki Companion also made Aokino quite envious, although a dreambox is not too expensive, but it is definitely not cheap, after all, it is converted into more than 200 US dollars.
Since they missed the afternoon bus, the two of them don't have to rush back, go to have dinner first, and then decide whether to make a night drive back or stay in Tokyo for one night, and then leave tomorrow, eating ramen, which is very common to the Japanese, ramen This kind of food only emerged in Japan after World War II, before World War II, Japanese people basically did not eat ramen, and even the word ramen was passed from China.
Moreover, in the 50s, Japanese ramen was only made because of the extreme shortage of supplies after the war, and it was easy to make ramen.
And as we all know, after a few decades, those who have been to Japan to eat Japanese ramen are very exquisite, and the soup is rich and mellow, in fact, this is all slowly improved by the Japanese after the economy improved, in the early fifties, these ramen were sold by some small vendors carrying burdens along the street.
In this case, of course, there is no ingredient for pork bone puffer fish roasted shrimp cake or something, and a bowl of ramen is not delicious, seven points in the soup and three points in the noodles, and the soup base at that time is to add monosodium glutamate and wash it with hot water, which is salty and salty, and it is basically difficult to eat.
Of course, this is not the case now, even in the 80s, after all, it is only after you have been warm that you go back to think about how to eat comfortably and beautifully.
Itagaki and Aokino have a steaming bowl of pork bone ramen, originally Itagaki was mentioning that he wanted to go to a bookstore in Tokyo, but since he couldn't go to the library of Todai, it would be good to go to the bookstore to see what good books there were and buy one by the way.
However, obviously, Aokino is a heavy game addict, and he still can't get enough of the game cartridge when he went to buy "Final Fantasy II" before, but it is mostly Hironobu Sakaguchi, a rookie who has just come into contact with video games, who is playing the slightly new game "Street Fighter", so he has not tried the protagonist "Final Fantasy II" this time.
But when Aokino walked near the few machines where Final Fantasy II was played, he couldn't help but take a few looks, but he was shocked by the picture he saw at the time, and he felt that this game was not comparable to any RPG game he had played before.
Even "Phantasy Star", which is said to use the same technology, cannot be said to be the same, because the picture he sees is too gorgeous.
He wouldn't have been able to play without Dreambox, but who let Itagaki Companion Shit get a Dreambox as a prize, so, just after dinner, after Aokino's bitter persuasion, Itagaki Companion finally dispelled the idea of returning by night train tonight.
I found a hotel with a TV in one bedroom, and the two of them moved in.
In fact, after a day of hard work at Mars Entertainment's flagship store today, almost all he played was "Street Fighter", and now he was a little unsatisfied, so after Aokino just finished talking to him, he just thought about it and agreed.
Because he did want to play this game called Final Fantasy II for himself, and whether it was as good as others boasted.
In particular, it's not as fun as Street Fighter.
And the result is also obvious.,Itagaki companion letter and Aokino have almost never slept all night.,Both of them studied the game manual that came with the game cartridge all night.,But although they didn't sleep all night.,But in the early morning,,The spirit of the two is also very full.,Even looking at the TV screen without blinking.,The game characters they control.,Fighting monsters.。
"This game is not as good as Street Fighter."
Stretching his waist, Itagaki Companion who had some pain in his back all night said casually, although he also thought this game was fun, but the confrontation was still not as tense and intense as "Street Fighter", and when he played "Street Fighter", he had a feeling of being in the Warring States Period, incarnating as a top swordsman, and fighting for life and death with people.
This feeling is what he cares about the most.
And this game called "Final Fantasy II", fun is fun, so it's a little tiring to play, far less than the kind of tension that "Street Fighter" gives him, and his eyes are not tense at first glance, when playing "Street Fighter", it's too late to pay full attention, how can he be tired.
However, Aokino obviously disagrees with Itagaki Companion's opinion, he played "Street Fighter" with Itagaki Companion yesterday, because of the reasons he played it before, so at the beginning he always won against Itagaki Companion, and Itagaki Companion was not discouraged, he has been brutalized by Aokino, and then slowly learned the skills.
But Aokino's level is average.,It's not even average.,After Itagaki Companion is familiar with four or five plates.,After being proficient in the tricks of the characters he used.,He cleaned up Aokino's three-down five divided by two.,At the beginning, Aokino didn't believe in evil.,And want to continue to fight with Itagaki Companion.。
However, as the number of plates increased, in the end, the characters he controlled couldn't even touch the corners of the clothes of Itagaki Banxin's characters, so he was KO by Itagaki Banxin.
Seeing the KO on the screen and the perfect English words attached to the KO underneath, Itagaki was naturally excited, while Aokino was naturally depressed and annoyed, so even his opinion on the game "Street Fighter" became bigger. (To be continued)
