When Cao Kairui and Yamauchi Pu were intriguing and trying to negotiate, Yang Yun was not idle, he was on the phone, calling people he knew one by one.

In 1992, in addition to the real-time strategy game "Dune 2", there was another thing that Yang Yun could not miss, that is, the establishment of 3DO.

One reason why this company can make Yang Yun remember is their game "Heroes of Invincible", and the other reason is the home game 3DO console.

The first 32-bit home game console in the history of games, earlier than the hardware leader Sega, and earlier than the 32-bit game console king Sony, was launched by Panasonic in 1993, and it really attracted the attention of the majority of gamers, leading the 3D trend of CG and movie games.

It's a pity that 3DO is not afraid of god-like opponents Sega and Sony, but is afraid of pig-like teammates Panasonic.

Panasonic has no experience in the operation of game consoles at all, there are no good consoles, but they will not do business, the price is close to 700 US dollars, few people can afford to buy 3DO consoles, although they do not charge any fees to software producers, but software manufacturers are responsible for their own profits and losses, and this alone makes many companies dare not make 3DO games.

No one buys the hardware, no one does the software, and the high-profile Gao Fu Shuai 3DO from the famous family was discontinued within a few years, transforming from a hardware manufacturer to a software manufacturer, and Sega was as downtrodden, even after the acquisition of "Might and Magic" and "Heroes and Heroes" for a few years, but in the end it also fell to the miserable point of bankruptcy and bankruptcy.

Yang Yun, who is familiar with this history, did not act rashly, he knew the origin of 3DO. Panasonic of Japan, EA of the United States, AT&T, Time Warner and other companies jointly invested in the big money home game market.

Obviously, 3DO is Yang Yun's competitor and is here to grab a job.

It stands to reason that when the wolves come, there should be shotguns to hit them, and Longteng will ruthlessly take out ambitious companies like Panasonic and EA.

But Yang Yun stopped, because EA had not yet torn his face with Long Teng. And he's made enough enemies in Japan. If we continue to do this violently, I am afraid that we will become a public enemy of Japan.

NEC, Sega's largest host chip supplier now, is about to be abandoned by Yang Yun. Switched to Motorola. It is the partner of Longteng in name only.

NEC's 8-bit PC-E. and the 32-bit PC-FX in joint development with Hudson, both of which are competitors to Sega, NEC, which is both a referee and an athlete. Sooner or later, he will turn against Yang Yun.

Nintendo and Sony, Yang Yun's sworn enemies, neither of them obeys the other, they both want to beat each other to bankruptcy, and it is impossible to reconcile.

Then there are a lot of small and medium-sized companies, as well as related companies in the animation and game industry, which were either acquired by Yang Yun or were beaten to bankruptcy, and now the peers in the Japanese game and animation industry are all sad and indignant when they hear the words "Fengyun" and "Longteng".

After a detailed circle, among the large Japanese electronics companies, only Hitachi HITACHI, Sharp, Panasonic these companies temporarily maintain a neutral state with Yang Yun, if it really fights with 3DO, Panasonic is a direct opponent, then I am afraid that Japan only Hitachi and Sharp support Yang Yun.

This is not a good thing.

There is not even a piece of Essinox barrier, so he dares to post a shijie channel to say that he is a bullish MT, which is a group mockery.

Without Chen Jinnan's strength, don't fight for the helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, otherwise you don't know how to die, and making enemies in all directions is something that only fools do.

After straightening out the relationship, Yang Yun called Alexey and Jiang Shaoyun in the United States to inquire about the movements of EA, AT&T, Time Warner, and Universal Pictures.

At the same time, he also asked someone to inquire about Panasonic's recent moves.

He finally confirmed the fact that the negotiations and deliberations of 3DO were ongoing, and no conclusion had been reached for the time being.

This made Yang Yun overjoyed, muddying the water, and then fishing in troubled waters, which is his favorite thing to do.

Then he used a hidden trick to call out the stand-in in his private back garden, which was KTT.

On June 29, 1992, Alexey approached Larry and came with him to Japan to attend a secret meeting prepared by 3DO.

After more than a month of difficult negotiations, the parties redistributed the benefits, and KTT received a 5% share of 3DO and joined the alliance camp of Panasonic and EA.

On August 12th, 3DO was officially established, an empty name, but no physical company, and the members of the alliance were mainly responsible for specific affairs.

EA is the lead and is responsible for the production of the game software, as well as the sales for the North American market, together with KTT.

Panasonic Corporation is a hardware manufacturer responsible for the development of new 32-bit 3DO mainframes.

AT&T, Time Warner, Universal Pictures and other capital consortia provide funding to provide jishu support for game CG, as well as adaptations between games and films.

Everything looks beautiful, everyone is full of confidence, it seems that they have seen the broad road paved with gold bricks, and rushed in without hesitation, wanting to make a big profit from the home game market.

Only Yang Yun was watching all this with a sneer, and said silently: "Come if you are not afraid of death!" ”

He asked KTT to join 3DO, which is to put an eyeliner in it, in fact, 5% is too much, if he can occupy 2% or 3% to enter the board of directors, he will not waste money in vain.

3DO cannot be nipped in the bud, but should encourage them, promote their development, make the home game console market more muddy, let the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers Panasonic spend a lot of money on console development, let EA spare no effort to waste a lot of time, energy and money on game production, drag these companies into the quagmire and can't extricate themselves.

Then at a certain time, the people of 3DO will find that they have worked hard to make the world's first 32-bit console, guide players to adapt to 3D games, and cultivate the habits of players, but after a few years of blind tossing, the market is still taken away by SS and PS, and at that time, their expressions must be very good-looking!

Waiting, the second half of 1992 has been waiting, Yang Yun is very bored waiting.

Sega's sixth-generation 32-bit host SegaSaturn is being developed in an orderly manner, Motorola 32-bit CUP, ATI 32-bit GPU, YAMAHA audio source, Toshiba memory, just looking at these data, Yang Yun is excited.

Change the history, change the history of the original SS dual 32-bit CPU, and change it to the same data as the PS, which can greatly improve the competitiveness of SS and make it possible for Longteng and Sega to defeat Sony!

A number of experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, ATI, and Motorola gathered in the Tokyo Sega Hardware R&D Center, doing research day and night, and dozens of engineers in China are working diligently, hungry and thirsty to learn the international advanced jishu, they are fighting with 3DO company, and they are also enriching themselves, ready to return to China at any time.

In addition to the console, Longteng Company has also made great progress in handheld games, "Reversal Referee" entered the testing stage in September, and "Kirby of the Stars" went offline in October, both of which have not yet been listed, and Yang Yun is useful for retaining.

The arcade department completed the task of 1992 half a year ahead of schedule, leaving half a year to develop new games on its own, and there were far more than 4 Chinese small and medium-sized enterprises that grew up in the first batch of Longteng's support for Jihua, and they all made their voices heard internationally.

The PC game department lived up to expectations, and the domestic RPG game "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was launched in August and sold well in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and the mainland, accumulating a group of experienced PC RPG game programmers, which made Yang Yun overjoyed.

The SLG game "Three Kingdoms 2" was completed in September and became the SLG fist work of Longteng and Koei against the PC side.

"God is Crazy 3" was released in October as promised, and Bullfrog Studios once again received praise from all shijie.

Cards, toys, movies, anime, and Dragon are all running normally, very well, and the profitability is the envy of every company in the global game industry.

Among them, I have to mention the matter of Nintendo and Blackstone Group in August, Yamauchi Pu was not stubborn this time, and sold 20% of Nintendo's shares at a price of 420 million US dollars, and Blackstone Group invested in the investment, and obtained the right to dilute the equity with additional investment, which is a win-win ending.

Obviously, Yamauchi Pu knew the inside story of ATI's acquisition, he limited the proportion of shares in the Blackstone Group, and restricted the non-transferable clause, and it was impossible for Yang Yun to indirectly own Nintendo's shares.

Sworn enemies are sworn enemies, there is never any possibility of reconciliation between Pu Yamauchi and Yang Yun, after the launch of "God is also crazy 3", because of what happened to Nishiki Company, Nintendo and Sega fought again.

In early November, at a regular meeting of CESA, Nintendo expressed its dissatisfaction with Sega and launched a complaint.

"Sega is violating unfair competition laws by applying double standards to global game production companies, and there is no fairness at all, and the life and death of game suppliers is in the hands of some people, not public standard terms." Nintendo's Legal Affairs Division expressed its indignation at this, "We call on global game production companies to resist this bad atmosphere, otherwise we will regret it in the future!" ”

Wang Zhe was not to be outdone: "This seems to be Ximu's resentment?" Well, you Nintendo should let people go now, Sega has allowed Nishigi to release Dune 2 on the MD platform. If not, please shut up and get ready to be tested by the market, there are countless companies that make real-time strategy games on this shijie! ”

Fighting a war of words, everyone on Longteng's side is never afraid!

The collision of the two "Dune" of Dragon Teng and West Wood became the most anticipated thing in the game industry at the end of 1992! (To be continued......)
