The Z80+, an optimized version of the Z80, with the new PPU, was the basic idea of Catherine's arcade machine.

Arcade machines are different from home consoles, just like home consoles, if players play games slowly, that's certainly not a good idea. But the problem is that the arcade machine must make the player feel "cool", and if it dies all of a sudden, it is over, then who will play it?

It's intense, it's fun, and it can't be too long.

Catherine immediately thought of several games.

Fighting games, racing games, and sports games.

Of course, skill limitations are also something that can be a headache.

Although such a machine is better than XBOX, it is still very weak in terms of performance, and it is no problem to step on FC in "history", but compared to SFC, it is not good.

But for now, the problem with large arcade machines is not the CPU, but the motherboard. This is because large arcade machines have higher requirements for motherboards than home machines.

"Space Invaders", "Contra", "Street Fighter", "F1", "Saikyong".

Catherine wrote the names of the five games in her notebook.

Among them, "Space Invaders" and "Contra" are both games that are already available on home consoles, and Catherine will optimize them for arcades.

The latter three games are the ones Catherine thought of for the arcade.

Especially Street Fighter.

However, Catherine takes care of the IQ of the current Americans, although she likes this game very much, but she is still very cautious in the game, first of all, the moves must not be complicated, and then, the enemy must not be too strong or too weak. As for this matter, Catherine left it to Blizzard Entertainment.

Her requirements for Blizzard Entertainment are to let those who only know the punches and kicks of fools be able to clear the level, and also let those who know how to use tricks be able to clear the level, the difficulty should not be too different, but it should reflect the gap.

As for how Blizzard accomplished this...... That's not Catherine's thing.

It's just strange that when planning the street fighter, Catherine always felt that she had forgotten something, but in the end, it could only be counted.

Catherine participated in the initial planning of the arcade and then walked away.

She just pointed out a direction for the company, and the company naturally had to do specific things.

However, Catherine did not forget to tell them that the arcade must pay attention to interactivity and playability.

The most important thing that distinguishes arcade machines from home machines is that they care about the activity.

When the Internet is not popular, if you want to play video games with others, you can only go to other people's homes, or invite others to come over, but playing like this, there are always times, some people will have the feeling of "loneliness of the master".

What to do at this time?

The answer, of course, is to play with more people, and as a result, arcade has become such a platform.

Catherine still came up with a name for the new arcade: Sega.

To be precise, it should be Sega-Mercury.

This symbolizes the first generation of arcade machines developed by itself. And when it comes to the next generation, it's Sega-Venus.

At the beginning of the new year, in the animated version of "Harry Potter", it also happened to be the end of the New Year.

The animated version of Harry Potter has two episodes a week, Wednesday and Friday, and then reruns on weekends, and the time of the animated version and the real time can be said to be synchronized.

Because of this, Catherine decided to check out the animation department at DreamWorks and encourage the three people she had brought from Europe.

Catherine vaguely remembers that they were Duncan, Wang Qinian, and ...... Little white wolf? Oh, it's Small. White. Wolf.

The animation department didn't need to shoot locations, so the whole department was in Los Angeles.

However, what Catherine did not expect was that as soon as she entered, a young girl of about nineteen or twenty came to her......

"Aniah?" …,

"Kate?"

Catherine really didn't expect to see Annia in this place, and she was taken aback.

And Ania on the other side couldn't help but cover her mouth after seeing Catherine.

"Aniah, why are you here?"

In Catherine's impression, Aniah's painting style is quite to her heart, she originally hoped that the other party would come to her, but she didn't expect that the other party had no news.

"Uh...... In fact, in September, I auditioned for DreamWorks and started working on the animated version of Harry Potter. ”

Anya scratched her head.

"Don't stand here, let's find a place to talk" Catherine pulled the other and came to the Burger King opposite.

In the United States, Burger King fast food restaurant is a more famous and powerful catering company than KFC and McDonald's

At this time, it was the lunch break, and many of my employees were also eating here at this time.

"Annia, why didn't you come to me?" As soon as she sat down, Catherine asked impatiently.

"Because I don't want to take shortcuts, I feel like I'm fully capable of ...... on my own"

Catherine nodded.

Aniah's status in her heart is a little higher.

"How do you feel at DreamWorks?"

"It's not bad, but it's animate and draw manga...... It's really a little different. ”

"You're just an artist?" Catherine was incredulous, but Annya just nodded.

At this time, Catherine suddenly laughed: "Aniah, do you want to draw a comic?" ”

Annia was drinking a drink, but she was suddenly stunned.

"This ...... If you can......"

Aniya looked out the window in embarrassment.

"Of course, I'm up to the cracks here"

Anyway, Catherine also has an angel publishing house, and if it is to be published, it is not a problem at all

"Yes, Aniah, we can try it now"

"Hmm."

Then, the two came to the company together again.

Aniah's desk was clean, but there were a few standing drawings on the side.

Catherine picked it up, only to find that it was a beautiful female swordsman.

"This is what I drew according to 'Faerun'."

Feren is a model in Catherine's magic wargames, but not a modern world, but a fantasy world. As soon as it was launched, it was very popular, and everyone wanted to experience the atmosphere of another world.

As for the name of Feren, Catherine named it with a spoof of fun. After all, Feron is a well-known fantasy world on DND.

"Aniah, do you have any plans?"

Catherine asked.

"Plan...... Do I have to structure the story myself? ”。 Ania seemed a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I'm not very good at constructing a story, but if there's a structure that allows me to follow the story, it doesn't matter if I draw it."

"If this is ......"

"Actually, I don't need a story, just a little bit of a request, let me draw along this, and that's it."

"Well, in that case, Aniah, have you seen the wasteland?".

The other nodded.

"Then you can draw a cartoon of the wasteland and show me first."

Annia nodded, and immediately began to write.

Ania drew very quickly, and all of a sudden, a vivid cartoon appeared on the page.

Catherine could see it at a glance, this is the scene when Bruce Lee in it fights the gangsters.

With a few light strokes and more than half an hour, the draft was completed.

Although it is only a draft, the domineering and awe-inspiring feeling of Bruce Lee in it makes people can't help but be amazed. …,

"Aniah, you're a genius"

Catherine's eyes lit up at once.

"I'll give you a story, a good story"

Catherine thought about it, and then it occurred to her that she had planned a street fighter.

"Huh...... Chun-Li's story seems good...... And so on."

At this time, she also remembered what she had forgotten when she sued the game Street Fighter to Blizzard.

I actually just told Blizzard about the structure of the story, but the most important character design was not

"What's wrong?" Ania was a little strange.

"Nothing, but I've figured out what the story should be for you"

Catherine smiled.

Among the street fighters, Catherine should be the most impressive Chun-Li.

Just thinking of Street Fighter, Catherine thought of Chun-Li.

Catherine immediately sat down, then picked up the paintbrush and was about to draw Chun-Li, but after thinking about it, she stopped.

In "Street Fighter", Catherine is most impressed by Chun-Li, and what she thinks is the most cheating is Chun-Li's thick legs...... By the way, there's also that bun head.

Catherine thought about it in her head, and then she began to write.

Soon, a long-haired, thin-legged Chun-Li appeared in Catherine's pen.

"Look, what we're going to talk about is the story of this Miss Chun-Li. Chun-Li lost her father when she was a child, and this murder has a lot to do with a villain named Vega. In order to avenge Chunli's diligent practice of martial arts, she learned a variety of Chinese boxing techniques, she added her own understanding of the Chinese boxing techniques taught by her father, and integrated various sharp leg techniques, and finally honed her own school of martial arts......"

Catherine talks eloquently about Chun-Li's life experience.

"But what if someone pulls your hair during the battle?"

Annia asked curiously.

"Uh......"

That's a problem.

Is it inevitable that bun heads are necessary?

But it seems like this is a problem. Because Americans are always struggling where they shouldn't.

For example, the reason why many Americans don't like Japanese comics is that the eyes of the characters in the Japanese comic style are too big, so some Americans calculated it, and finally they came to a conclusion: such characters, the space of the brain must be squeezed by the eyeballs, and the brain development is not normal and the brain is atrophied......

Similarly, Chun-Li's thighs tend to be thick because they seem to think that the thin thighs can't experience the power of Chun-Li's feet at all......

"Moreover, the thighs are so thin, can the power of the leg technique you mentioned really be brought into play?". Ania asked the question again.

It can be seen that although she is French, Ania is very integrated into American society.

"That's 'qi', a magical power unique to the East, which strengthens muscles."

Catherine thought about it for a long time, and finally found a better explanation.

"Is it like magic?".

"Magic...... Almost."

That's all Catherine could say in the end.

It just so happened that Catherine saw a face with black hair and yellow skin.

"Wang Qinian, come over here."

The other party is Chinese, so I should have some insights in this regard, right? After all, the so-called "qigong" is in vogue these days, and in Catherine's previous life, "qigong" has long been superstitious.
