"I have already negotiated the contract for the store, and it can be opened after the renovation." Standing in the shop that was being renovated, Axe Jun Lin Jun said confidently.

Liangkun nodded and asked, "Have you negotiated the game console, is it a new machine?" ”

The prince said: "Don't worry, the game consoles will be delivered in a few days, and they are all the latest models on the market." ”

The prince handed over another key and said, "There is a Toyota seventh-generation Crown parked at the door, it is brand new, not a refurbished car smuggled to Hong Kong, and the car will be yours in the future." You are now the face of our Hongxing in Yau Tsim Wang, and the car before you has been old like that, which will make people laugh. ”

"Toyota's seventh-generation crown, a luxury car!" Liangkun has some impressions of Toyota's seventh-generation Crown, and remembers that when it was first launched on the market, it was launched to compete with Mercedes-Benz. Although the price is cheaper than Mercedes-Benz, it is not much worse, and one will cost more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars.

There was a saying in the Hong Kong Island community in the 80s: "Is your boss good enough, do you have a crown to sit on?" ”

A crown car represents not only a means of transportation, but also your status in the community.

The cars of the 80s were far inferior to the cars of later generations in terms of performance, appearance, and interior.

Even if it is the seventh-generation crown known as a luxury car, it looks like dirt and slag, and it doesn't look as good as the tens of thousands of seahorses in later generations.

After complaining a few words in his heart, Liangkun started the car and went straight to Mong Kok.

……

Fifteen days later.

"Brother Kun, the game console has arrived!" Axe Jun Lin Jun called.

Coming to the predetermined location where he rented, three vans came from the corner of the street, and the axe Jun Lin Jun sat in the co-pilot of the first car, and waved his hand to Lin Yao who was standing at the door from a long distance.

Liangkun glanced at the storefront inside, which was almost decorated, so he said, "Let's take a hand and move the game console in." ”

"Okay, Brother Yao." The horses took action one after another, unloading the game console from the truck and moving it inside.

"Tap it all, lift it in pairs, don't bump the screen."

"Watch out for the steps, elevate, elevate!"

"What about you, be steady, how can you walk shaky, you went to run a horse last night, and today is so empty?"

Under the command of Liangkun, the twenty and thirty younger brothers were busy and walked to the store with the game console.

It's all money!

A Japanese-made game console priced at 13,000 Hong Kong dollars.

These 200 game consoles of all kinds will cost more than 2 million yuan, which is the largest investment in the game machine room.

After the opening, one game currency is sold for two cents, and five coins are one piece.

Ordinary people play games, and five game coins is half an hour.

On average, in an hour, one machine earns two dollars, one hundred machines are two hundred, and two hundred machines are four hundred.

In the heyday of twelve hours, it should not be a problem to get five or six thousand a day.

Excluding electricity costs and losses, under ideal conditions, the daily net profit of the game hall can reach about 3,000.

The most important thing is that the game room can arrange employment for more than 20 younger brothers.

Two hundred machines do not mean the same time, and there are only two hundred people in the store.

Now is the hottest era of the game market, a game player, there may be two or three bystanders standing around, and if it is full, there are at least five or six hundred people in the store.

The current Hong Kong is not the Hong Kong of later generations, and the people are not so well-behaved.

To manage these five or six hundred people and prevent them from making trouble, at least fifty younger brothers watching the scene are required.

Now it is the first store, which is commonly known as the "flagship store", and this store is doing well, and the branch can be spread out on the site.

……

The machine is set up, and the prince, the axe Jun, Lin Jun, and those younger brothers who come to help, of course, play first.

But Liangkun watched them turn on and play several games.

Looking at the rough pictures that are almost composed of lines and colors, the monotonous electronic sounds, and the plot that is just a fight, Liangkun is not interested in these games.

However, a few somatosensory game consoles aroused some interest in Liangkun.

As the name suggests, a motion sensing game is a video game that is felt with the body, breaking through the previous operation method of simply using the controller buttons, and the motion sensing game is a new type of video game that is carried out (operated) through the change of body movements.

What Liang Kun saw was the motion racing game "Out run" produced by Sega.

Later, Sega's Out run was considered one of the best arcade racing games in gaming history.

Liangkun saw that this game actually uses three different machines: one is a vertical machine, which is no different from an ordinary arcade machine; One is a standard seat-type machine that imitates the cockpit of a car; There's also a deluxe version of the chair that has hydraulics that tilt to the sides when you turn.

Liangkun drove away the little brother who was sitting on the deluxe version of the seat machine, and sat on it himself to experience the game.

Liang Kun just took a look around, and most racing games still use a bird's-eye view, and Out run has players in a very expensive sports car.

Zhong Tianzheng, who was standing next to Liangkun, said: "This red convertible sports car is very similar to the Ferrari Testarossa!" ”

Liangkun said: "With Ferrari's urine, it will definitely have a lawsuit with the game console manufacturer." ”

During the whole game, Liangkun felt like a noble man driving a luxury car, turning on the radio, putting on sunglasses, carrying his beautiful blonde girlfriend, wandering on the wide road, so comfortable.

No need to run laps around the circuit, no event organizers, no stops to change tires, no crashes, no high-speed chases, no shooting scenes, just drive your own car on the road, relax your nerves, and enjoy the new scenery that is constantly emerging on the side of the road.

The game graphics are fresh, clean, and crisp.

Three classic game accompaniment songs, "Magical Sound Shower", "Splash Wave", and "Passing Breeze", make Liangkun completely integrated into the game.

Even the theme song "Last Wave" from Game Over or High Score sounds relaxing!

In particular, while gazing at the sunset and listening to the sound of the waves, listening to these songs has a different taste.

Qiusheng, who also came to join in the fun, said: "Although only FM synthesized music technology is used, the mystery of the sound of this game console is that it uses a separate sound-specific microprocessor chip. Therefore, the sound effect is much stronger than that of ordinary game consoles. ”

Liangkun asked, "Do you still know this?" ”

Qiusheng said with a smile: "Although I am now running a mahjong parlor, I have studied computer science in college. ”

"I haven't thought of this yet, but if we have time, we can work together in the computer business." ”

After spending countless game coins, Liangkun finally wore the version.

Surprisingly, on arcade platforms, "lazy" programmers often use only an image and a "Congratulation" congratulation to reward players for wearing the version, while Outrun's ending is much richer.

Moreover, after wearing the version, Liangkun found that in addition to the track he had just played, "Outrun" also had other tracks to choose from.

Although neither Virgo nor Sagittarius, nor obsessive-compulsive disorder, Liangkun still wore all the tracks of "Outrun" in turn.

Depending on the chosen track, Outrun has a total of five different interesting endings.
