2. Game Hall (1)
Arcade games can be said to be the childhood of many people.
Although there are many kinds of entertainment now, who could have imagined that just fifty or sixty years ago, human entertainment was still very scarce?
In the Showa era, the entertainment of adults was mainly chess and cards, and children were still collecting milk bottle caps, and Japan at that time was far from reaching the level of developed countries, and the lack of materials and the weak economy directly led to the lack of corresponding means of entertainment.
Until the birth of video games.
The change of the times in Japan is symbolized by the alternation of the Emperor, and the Showa Emperor lived in the Showa era, and now it is the Heisei era. Of course, for a small group of people, they prefer to think of 1983 as a turning point in the times.
Why?
Because...... In 1983, Nintendo released its first game console, the Red and White Family-Computer, which is commonly known as the [FC game console], which swept the world, and naturally, Japan, as Nintendo's headquarters, was also the main beneficiary location.
Given the bustling video game industry today, it's not hard to understand that 1983 is the dividing point between the old and the new.
Kawa Kamiki also thought about these things as always, but today he rarely went for a walk, but was in a relatively noisy space.
That's the video game hall.
This is also a big category of video games, arcade games.
In today's ever-changing technology, arcade game consoles may have become an unfamiliar word, right? This kind of half-person is so tall, like a refrigerator machine, the TV and the game console are bound, and there is only one game chip board inside each machine, although it cannot be replaced at will like an ordinary video game machine, but in exchange, it has more excellent picture performance and a larger capacity, arcade games have successfully entered the video game industry at the end of the last century with excellent picture expression.
Kawajin chose such a game console, which requires special game coins, and the main game type is also adventure, shooting, or exciting games such as fighting.
He was now holding his breath, looking at the 10-digit countdown behind the "whether to renew the coin" on the screen, biting his lip a little anxiously, and finally made up his mind, built another coin and stuffed it in, only to hear a bang, the screen was red, the game was stopped, and he jumped to the interface of selecting a character.
Kawajin is playing a fighting game, he was once pointed out by Yu Dao Chuan that his attack is too unromantic feeling, in fact, after the actual battle with the fantasy beast, Kawajin also found this problem, he is too little to dream of the superpower feeling, so, he is determined to develop his own new tricks, for this, need to be creative.
So, he came up with the idea of video games.
Especially all kinds of whimsical fighting games.
Touching the bypass, Kawajin was inspired by a certain fighting game character before, trying to twist the air into a tornado, and then use the tornado as a weapon, and the effect is excellent, and now I am about to see if there is anything else to refer to.
Moreover, it can also distract oneself.
was exposed, in fact, ninety percent of his body is not human, and sure enough, his mood is still a little subtle.
But the game is good, it can make people detached for a while.
Of course, not all games are necessarily enjoyable. For example, now......
Kawajin Hibiki was not pleasant at all.
His eyes were silently fixed on the screen, and his left hand tugged the joystick, making a rattling sound.
Anyone who has ever played a game console must feel the same way, right? When you're concentrating and dedicating yourself to everything, you're going to press the buttons hard to make the character [jump farther] or [hit more painful] or something like that, right? Kawajin is the same now, in order to win the computer, he rubs the joystick harder and harder, making a loud noise......
Then, the characters on the screen cooperated with Kawajin's random operation, carrying out meaningless actions, and then were defeated by the AI2P characters assigned by the system.
After all, this is an arcade game hall, and you have to make money by selling game currency, and if anyone can easily get through the game with one coin, they simply don't do business, I'm afraid they won't lose money.
The already high level of difficulty is really too painful for Kawajin, a pure novice who has never played a fighting game.
Soon, Kawa Kamiki also squandered the small amount of game currency that he had in the first place.
He looked at the screen angrily, Rao is that he has received strict training, whether it is force, knowledge, or the control of weapons, all of them are first-class, as a soldier, he has exceptional strength, and it is completely unworkable in the field of games, which has never been touched.
His common sense is simply useless.
Generally speaking, a person's height is about 1.7 meters, and in the game, any person can jump to 2-3 times their height, and they can jump three or five meters high casually, which is too appalling, and the world record is only more than 2 meters.
And then there are all kinds of unbelievable tricks, which are even more incomprehensible to Kawajin. Especially the [Decision Box] that cannot be seen or touched.
The result is that he just squandered the game currency in his hand in one morning, he silently looked at the words on the screen that kept decreasing, and felt annoyed, snapped out a 10,000 yuan bill and slapped it on the table, the game console will not recognize, you can play with 100 yen at a time, convert, he just almost took 100 battles here.
"You're really me off."
He said this to his opponents who were flaunting on screen.
"Don't be hairy......"
Suddenly, I heard a voice from behind him, as if he had hammered him the waist.
While wondering how he still had acquaintances in the game hall, Kawajin turned his head, and the red vision reflected a familiar appearance.
From the Tokiwadai school uniform and the tone that he was quite familiar with, he reacted.
That's Mikoto Misaka.
Because of Tokiwadai's school rules, she wears this school uniform at all times, which is particularly recognizable. Today she seems to have changed to a shampoo, and Kawajin feels that she has a little different smell on her.
Speaking of which, it is true that Mikoto Misaka should have come to the game hall. Thinking about it with common sense, her special move, the Super Electromagnetic Cannon, attacks by firing in-game currency. A woman who carries game currency all the year round will of course go to the game hall!
Under the brown bangs, Mikoto Misaka's eyes flashed with understanding: "It turns out that you will also come here to play." β
She said that she was talking about the game hall, and she thought that the character of Kawajin would not come to the game hall.
"Of course, I'm a man, too. The game is a man's romance. β
"Apologize to the man!"
"I'm sorry! All Japanese men! β
was complained about by Mikoto Misaka, and he immediately stood up and bowed 90 degrees. Doing this in the arcade game hall certainly attracted a lot of attention, and the players around looked at it eagerly, which made Mikoto Misaka a little embarrassed: "Don't mess with you guy." β
As she spoke, she took a handful of coins from her pocket and scattered them on the table, picking one up and stuffing it into the slot.
"Is this for me?"
"If you want to be beautiful, just walk away without playing."
"Hey, so ruthless, Misaka-san, didn't we even do this, that, this, and that?"
"What a kind!"
He couldn't help but complain again. This man is a super genius only in the field of unpleasantness.
Mikoto Misaka thought so.
This kind of fighting game, Mikoto Misaka plays less, after all, she prefers crane machines, capsule toy machines and the like to fighting games. It's not that she's naΓ―ve, it's just that the two machines just mentioned occasionally have Gata merchandise. For an avid collector like hers, this is not to be missed. Over time, there will be more fun.
"Fighting games...... I haven't played in a long time, and I don't know what character to use......"
She muttered like this, but the selection of people was very fast, and it was the role that the Kawajin had just used.
That's a character in the game setting.,Good at using fire magic.,It's also one of the most complex characters in this game.,It's cumbersome outside the moves.,Characterized by a lot of combos.,Gorgeous action.,The disadvantage is that it's particularly unfriendly to novices...... That is, the legendary upper-level character.
(Of course, novices can't use this kind of difficult role!) οΌ
She scoffed at the incomprehensible height of the god in her heart, concentrated her attention, and began to operate the role.
The difference between the two can be seen in the way they grasp the joystick. Kawajin dragged things around as if she was grasping something with her hands, while Mikoto Misaka held the joystick between her middle and ring fingers, as if holding the red ball, and every time she [pushed] the joystick into position, she threw Kawajin several streets away.
"That's amazing, Misaka."
Kawajin rarely admired her from the bottom of his heart - although it was a game, it was a little unpleasant.
After he used it himself, he could naturally understand that Mikoto Misaka was much stronger than himself.
The characters on the screen keep the flames by their side all the time, and keep flying them like arrows, which is particularly handsome.
(Sure enough, as Yu Daochuan said before, fighting games are still quite valuable for reference.) οΌ
Kawajin thought so, and secretly kept the gorgeous tricks of the character in mind.
"Speaking of which, do you like fighting games?"
Mikoto Misaka asked distractedly as she stared at the screen.
"Average. It's just for reference. β
"References? Or something? β
"Superpowers, of course. Like this one. β
Kawajin tapped the screen with his hand - it was very rude, but Mikoto Misaka forgave him today.
At this time, Mikoto Misaka's character is firing seven or eight flames like homing missiles.
Kawajin snapped his knuckles, and the tiny droplets of water in the air converged into a sphere, wrapped around his fingers, and then flew out in a haphazard manner, drawing a chaotic line in mid-air.
It can be seen that this is something similar to the skills used by the characters on the screen just now.
"It's very informative!"
As if to show off, he raised his chin at Mikoto Misaka.
It's really amazing.
The [control] of superpowers has always been a big problem.
Take Mikoto Misaka and let her release a large amount of electricity to defeat the enemy, it's easy. However, it is difficult to let her maintain a certain amount of power to charge other people's mobile phones, and if she is not careful and uses too much force, the mobile phone will be charged to the point of exploding.
Kawajin's casualness of using superpowers as if he was a part of his body made her admire.
However, admiration in my heart is admiration...... Let her admit it verbally......
"Heyβaverage."
She calmed her tone and pretended to say it indifferently.
Kawajin pursed his lips, rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Then, please, Misaka-san!" β
"What?"
"Please, please help me demo the other characters!"
"Heyβ"
ββββββββββββββββββ
In this way, half-pushed and half-done, Mikoto Misaka was pestered by Kawajin and played a fighting game for almost two hours. has changed almost 20 roles, but fortunately, the moves in the fighting game are almost the same, and they can basically be summarized as adding punches or kicks in the direction of the joystick, and you can try seven or eight tricks in this way.
What Kawajin needs is nothing else, it's just a trick, and his fiery and serious look under the goggles makes it difficult for Mikoto Misaka to refuse him.
Now she felt that her left hand pushing the joystick was a little sore, and Kawajin was satisfied.
"Thank you. Please. β
Kawajin handed her the soda in his hand.
Sweating profusely while playing games, you can quench your thirst with a cold soda. Mikoto Misaka was not polite, she took it and drank it, she was indeed troubled by him today, [I'm causing you trouble] This is definitely not a modest verbal statement today.
"Well, speaking of which, when I just went to buy soda, I passed by the crane machine and grabbed it."
As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand, which had been behind his back, and in the palm of his hand was a frog doll in a black dress, standing like a human, with two cute mustaches on its face.
Kawajin doesn't quite understand why this company likes to use frogs as products, but Mikoto Misaka seems to like it very much, and remembers that the style of the mobile phone she uses is frogs.
But what is it about "liking frogs"? Or do you like [this character]? Kawajin didn't know very well, but in front of the crane machine, he asked the child - considering Mikoto Misaka's psychological age, he really asked the child the most reliable - after learning that this doll is a relatively rare breed, he caught it.
It's as easy as that.
His superpowers can't be applied to the console, but the claw machine is fine. As long as you control the gas in the machine, when the clamp passes, secretly push it into the clamp, it's easy~
Sure enough, as soon as I saw the quata doll in the hands of Kawajin, Mikoto Misaka's eyes burst out with a compelling look, as if the previous complaints had disappeared.
"You ......"
Soon, Mikoto Misaka's eyes shifted to Kawajin, and the look of excitement before also turned into suspicion......
"You don't know how to use your superpowers, do you?"
"Superpowers are meant to be used in daily life~"
He has no consciousness of a cheater and smiles cheerfully.
"You're so unfair, aren't you?"
"That'...... I'm good for you~"
Kawajin smiled and stuffed the doll in his hand to Mikoto Misaka.
"In this way, you are also my accomplice~ Uncle policeman, this person forced me to do it, I am an accomplice at best!"
"You ......"
Watching him play treasure every day, Mikoto Misaka was angry and funny, and just wanted to argue a few sentences and then stuff the doll back, but as soon as he saw Gata's face, he ......
(Anyway, this idiot has spent so much money on the game console, and it's nothing to take them as a doll.) And he seems to have caught it through regular channels, so it should be fine. Well. οΌ
Trying to comfort herself, Mikoto Misaka's face flushed a hint of crimson.
"That...... Thank...... Well...... Na...... Thank you ......"
"Ah, Misaka, in return, play games with me in the afternoon! I still have a few fighting games I'd like to refer to! Please! β
"I knew it!!"
Mikoto Misaka had an exaggerated expression of helplessness on her face, and she was dragged by Kawajin and spent half a day in the game hall.
However, in the end, I still got Gatta's doll...... Well...... It's acceptable~ Please Baidu "throw the book network" Thank you for your support!
