Chapter 51: XBOX OR OVERLORD?

Since being taught a lesson by her father, Catherine has also learned that her career should come step by step, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

After developing the initial CPU lag, Catherine had to do what she had to do was to build a game console.

GameTV is a sign of Catherine's aim at the color TV market.

And the game console is the earliest, and it can probably be regarded as a derivative of the TV set - of course, it is not excluded that the TV is bought in order to play games.

Concerned about GameTV sales, Catherine didn't plan to sell the separated consoles at the same time as she was thinking.

In fact, she was thinking about delaying the console for a while, waiting for her GameTV to take over the TV market, and then launching a new console herself.

At the beginning of game development, there were many kinds of storage devices that were used to store games. Cassette tapes as they came to be known were not really popular at the time, when people used cassette tapes -- like cassette tapes for listening to music -- to store them, and that's the mainstream.

However, Catherine, who knew the general trend of the future, directly prepared to develop a read-only memory, and then put her game on it, and this was it.

Like now. The console in front of Catherine's eyes is a $300 game console with a core of 4 CPUs.

The price is high, but this is already a process that has driven the price down to the limit. However, compared to the color TV of this era, the price of Catherine's game console is not too high.

Or rather, it's quite cheap.

The processing speed of this console is slightly higher than that of its own GameTV, but in fact it is not much. Cost is an issue.

The main unit was designed by Catherine to be streamlined, with a futuristic feel and eye-catching.

All over black, metallic, with a black patch on top and a slot. The black is for the logo, which is the trademark. But so far, Catherine doesn't know what to name it, so it's empty for now.

Then the fuselage provides two slots, to which two handles can be attached. Such a controller, after modification by Catherine, is already very close to the controller of the future PS3, of course, there are not many features.

The standard console configuration is two controllers.

Although the processor is rough, at least some games that are extremely simple can still be played.

Catherine was very simple and developed simple silly games such as minesweeper, skolling, and fire brigade, but unfortunately, a "super high-spec" game like Super Mario could not be played at all.

The game is released in the form of a cassette and then converted through the PG (PlayGame) interface developed by Catherine, and is currently only available on GameTV.

But for other markets, Catherine still developed adapters, at least to ensure that they can be used in the interface of video recorders.

Once you've got it done, it's time to give the console a name.

But...... What's it called?

Backgammon?

Little Overlord?

XBOX?

WII?

Catherine thought about it and decided that it would be better to call it Xiaobawang.

By the way, how is Xiaobawang's English spelled......

“Subor。”

That's right, this is it!

Catherine laughed.

She has even thought of the advertising slogan now.

"The little overlord has endless fun, who knows who uses it!"

By the way, Catherine did not forget to register the patent. Otherwise, in the future, someone will register their own patent and then claim for it themselves, which is not unheard of in history.

Time, step by step, towards 1962.

The villa has been renovated and will be able to live after New Year's Day.

This Christmas, Bruce didn't take his family out again. Because of the recent deterioration in law and order, Bruce is worried about his family. Maybe once or twice is fine, but what if something happens?

Even Catherine needs Bruce to pick her up and drop her off from school.

But Catherine soon bought herself a car. She had wanted to hire a chauffeur, but Bruce assigned three security guards to escort her.

Although Bruce vetoes Catherine's plan, the company is formed.

"Umbrella, or Ambrera."

- Catherine doesn't know whether it's better to complain or praise her father. ,

But then again, there really was an "umbrella" company in history, which was founded in the 80s, and what it did, Catherine doesn't remember.

According to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, this umbrella company was in fact supposed to be a defense "supplier".

If these vendors carry out escort work for the operations of combat units and are equipped with a military identification card, they can be treated as prisoners of war after they are captured in the war. If they are involved in combat, they are considered "mercenaries".

However, Bruce didn't get too involved in these projects, and quickly got into his own connections, inviting a group of people who could still talk to each other among the arms dealers. Before the cake even started to eat, Bruce began to divide the cake.

In this way, the arms dealers themselves will look at each other unpleasantly, and maybe the umbrella company will be able to profit from it.

I have to say that Jews do have a set of business, although Catherine also has Jewish blood in her life, but she is still tender compared to her father.

Now, three men with gun licenses, vetted for mental illness, and trained under the umbrella have become Catherine's bodyguards.

Since it was her own family, Catherine didn't say much, and immediately hired a few bodyguards to come to the villa she and her partners jointly purchased to take care of the family's nursing home.

And now, Catherine is in this villa.

The current villa can be said to have completely changed.

First of all, the exterior has been renovated, and it looks much more magnificent.

Inside, the basement was converted into a shooting room, with the exception of two swimming pools.

Other partners have transformed the third floor into a small cinema with a large 100-inch projection screen, which is also very comfortable to watch movies.

The World Expo in Seattle, which will open in April, is in fact ready for the job.

But now, she's looking at the new clothes Lisa has made for herself.

Lisa's design is good, at least in Catherine's opinion. In later life, Catherine saw a lot of so-called clothing designs, but such clothing, in her opinion, was simply grandiose and had no practical value, and some were still translucent.

Lisa's outfit is different, although her dress is very bold, but if you wear it, at least there is no problem......

……

A very good dress, I don't know if I can pass the audit.
