Chapter 107 Some Memories of the Old Four
Before he knew it, Jester had already written more than a dozen pieces of manuscript papers. These papers were scattered on the table. He first frowned, then he carefully sorted them out and then placed them in different categories.
Although he has written a lot, he still has a lot of unprepared plans for the next month.
Especially "Saroman Snake".
Jester is full of respect for this game, and Jester believes that anyone who has played this game will be full of respect for this game.
Although his "Dawn" is much larger and more complex in settings and game systems than "Sarroman Snake", in Jester's eyes, it would be better if his game could be transplanted to his home machine.
But the reality is that because the content of this game is too large, it is impossible to transplant the console version while ensuring quality. If you want to transplant, you have to castrate the game like in "1942". If the castration is too strong and the quality of the game cannot be guaranteed, then in the eyes of Jester, it is better not to transplant it.
He didn't want to be like Capcom. He finally released a well-known and popular work on the arcade, but lost his reputation just because the quality of the transplant was too poor.
Not all game manufacturers are as powerful as Korami. Not only can they transplant the masterpieces on the arcade without castration, but they can even make the console version better than the arcade version. At least according to what Jester knows, their employees are not as powerful as Korami in the future.
In any case, in Jester's mind, Korami in the late 1980s and Capcom in the early 1990s revealed the prefix of invincibility in the world. Especially Korami's three masterpieces in the year, which made many game enthusiasts talk about it. At that time, Korami's popularity in the United States was almost unparalleled, which was quite a bit of the momentum that Hideo Kojima came out with his MGS2 and eight major manufacturers retreated one after another.
Jester is also very curious about this. Logically speaking, because arcades have large space, developers can use substrates with more powerful performance, because the space is large, and when the substrate is large, it can naturally integrate more circuits, so the performance is naturally powerful.
However, Korami's games can always make their FC transplant works less than arcades. For example, the famous senior four. In the eyes of many people, the senior four in the FC version is not inferior to the arcade version released at the same time. In the eyes of some players, the home version is even better than the arcade version.
Speaking of the game "Saroman Snake", Jester's memories are very beautiful. He is the famous FC senior four, and Jester can still remember the scene when he first played this game.
The origin of the senior four is also a kind of early joke by domestic players, and these four games can be said to be to a certain extent that they have cultivated the first batch of non-Nintendo game fans in China.
At that time, domestic pirates made a combined card of the four most popular games on FC except Lao Ren. Because the games on them are classic and have a large audience, these four games over time were affectionately called the senior four of FC by domestic players, which means the most fun games on FC.
In fact, it is a bit one-sided to say that. After all, there are super masterpieces such as Super Horse, Super Horse 3 or even Cuckold, FF3. It may be possible to evaluate other games as one of the best, but it is a bit like watching the sky from the right to the right, but this also shows to a certain extent that these four games are indeed very outstanding.
Jester was the first time he had played with him at his neighbor's house.
It was winter at that time, and Jester remembered it very clearly. Just after the winter vacation, he used his uncle to go to eastern Guangdong to play "Super Mario" at home. At that time, Jester was very obsessed with this cartoon-style and fun game.
It can almost be said to be endlessly played.
At that time, Jester's neighbor was his classmate. Whenever his classmate had time, as long as the adults at both sides were not at home, he would sneak to Jester's house to play games together. Jester liked to play Super Horse the most, and his classmate liked to play "Motorcross" the most, but later accidentally discovered that he was also discovered by his adults, and the classmate was beaten up. Jester's classmate was also tough, just not admitting that he had something wrong.
His parents had no choice but to agree that as long as this classmate of Jester could get the top three in the final exam, he would buy one for him.
As a result, Jester's classmate really got the top three with the motivation of a game console, and his parents also bought him a game console as previously agreed. Like his own, he also asked someone to bring blue and white machines from Dongdong Guangdong.
When it comes to blue and white machines, many people may not know that some players who are late to contact cassette game consoles may know that red and white machines refer to Nintendo's FC, and black cards refer to Sega fifth generation, which is Sega MD, and know that Xiaobawang is a game console that disguises itself as a learning machine after being copycat FC.
In fact, at the beginning, especially before the popularity of Xiaobawang, the first FC-compatible machine in China, or one of the FC-compatible machines was the blue-white machine.
However, the blue and white machine is not a copycat production, but is produced and sold by Wanwan Shengtian Electronics after authorization. However, the appearance design of Shengtian Electronics has basically copied Nintendo's FC red and white machine, and even the appearance of accessories and machine surface printing are completely consistent. The only difference is that Nintendo is red, and the blue and white machine is blue.
Compared with another little genius who has obtained the Crystal Electronics license authorized by Nintendo, at least in terms of appearance design, Shengtian's blue and white machine will have a perfect appearance after being improved by Xiaotiancai, especially the handle designed by Xiaotiancai himself, which is even much stronger than the handle of Nintendo FC in terms of feel.
Of course, the Nintendo FC handle doesn't feel very good.
Later, Shengtian's Blue and White Machinery and Crystal Electronics' Little Genius entered the domestic market, each occupying half of the country.
But overall, the blue and white machines that are in the market share are far inferior to those of little geniuses. It was only after these two companies became popular in China that a large number of counterfeit FC game console manufacturers appeared in China.
Before Xiaobawang, the most famous one was probably Boning Tianma's copycat phone, which was green and white or gray. The other ones were no different from Nintendo's red and white phones in appearance, but if you disassemble the circuit board inside, you will find that the difference is very big.
Not to mention these, let’s get back to the point.
When Jester was excited to play Super Mario, he heard a knock on the door. After pausing the game, he went to open the door. It was his neighbor and classmate.
Originally, Jester was a little strange. Didn’t he buy a game console?
Unexpectedly, his classmate said to him with an excited look: "Come to my house, I just got a new game card, the games in it are much more fun than yours!" To be honest, Jester was a little dissatisfied with hearing the other party's words. He originally wanted to refuse and continue to play his super horse, but he really couldn't stand the new card in his classmate's mouth. After thinking about it for 0:1 second, Jester also decided to go to his house to see it, and if it wasn't fun, he would just come back.
Unexpectedly, I went there for a day, and I played until I had supper, and my parents were caught out from my neighbor's house.
He didn't even feel hungry even when he didn't eat lunch or dinner. When he left his classmate's house, Jester was extremely reluctant to leave. He looked back and looked back at the electronic sound that was still playing for the afternoon but still couldn't get tired of listening to it. Even his mind was filled with the sound of BIUBIU's shooting.
That day, Jester played this combined card. At that time, he did not play "Sarroman Snake", but "Contra", and this combined card was the four-in-one senior four card that many people talked about. To be honest, Jester later recalled that the person who was able to pick out these four games to make the combined card was indeed a genius.
Because these four games are all wonderful and never tired of playing, and the gameplay is different, it can meet the needs of different groups of people well. In fact, the semi-finals were recognized as the best game level in FC at that time, but the evaluation of these four games in Japan was average, so the people who chose at that time did not look at fame, but had to rely on their level and vision to choose.
But then again, these four games are very popular in the United States, especially "Contra" and "Red Fortress". According to the video of JAMES, Jest watched the Spray God, basically there are no two games that have not been played in the school. In fact, if you analyze these four games carefully, you will find the essence of the problem.
The weapon of the protagonist of "Contra" is a gun, the weapon of the protagonist of "Red Fortress" is a car, the weapon of the protagonist of "Sarroman Snake" is a ball, and the main weapon of the protagonist of "Green Legion" is a knife, a car gun ball knife, isn't it very familiar? Yes, these are the three major cancers of car gun ball mentioned later in life. In fact, it is because both Americans and domestic people have a very different game choices from Japan, and the two are very similar. They are not very interested in those very fine Japanese RPG games, but are very fascinated by this simple and crude game.
For example, the sales volume of the DQ series in Europe and the United States is similar to that of Xiang.
Of course, it cannot be generalized. For example, cuckolds and FF have a high mindset among European and American players, especially cuckolds. In the hearts of European and American players, they are almost representative of perfect RPGs. Moreover, whether it is European and American media or Japanese media, they all give cuckolds a super high score without a doubt.
It is very, very rare to be able to kill European, American and Japanese games. As long as there is one, there will undoubtedly be magical works.
However, in Jester's mind, even if he is the top four, these four games are divided into grades. "Green Legion" is definitely the second most among these four games, and the remaining three are not as good as the advantages and disadvantages. If you have to choose one, Jester thinks "Sarroman Snake" can be slightly better with its grand setting and perfect soundtrack, while "Red Fortress" and "Contra" are equally matched.
The next day, when Jester woke up, the first thing he did was to knock on his neighbor's door again, and then he and his neighbor classmate were busy fighting in "Contra". However, for a novice like Jester at that time, "Contra" was quite difficult.
His neighbor is of good quality. Some people who have never played Conrat are not familiar with this game. Some games are more difficult than two people. This is true. However, the game "Conrat" is not like this when the two have different levels, because slow pace will always be dragged to death by people with fast pace.
So Jester was always dragged to death by his neighbors, and his neighbors always criticized him, which made Jester very angry. After all, he could also get a superb life, but his neighbor was so good that he couldn't even pass the third level. But this time, it was his turn to be ridiculed by the other party when playing "Contra" this time, which made Jester intolerable.
However, when the two finally passed the level of "Contra". When they started playing the second game "Sarroman Snake" on this game card, Jester completely found the feeling he felt when playing "Super Mario".
It was a very subtle feeling. It seemed that you could operate it casually. The plane on the TV could avoid all bullets and attacks. You could easily eat capsule synthetic weapons, and then easily eliminate the bosses that were extremely difficult in the eyes of your neighbors.
Jester still remembers the shocked look in his eyes when his neighbor saw him easily defeating the Fire Dragon at the Fire Dragon Pass.
That feeling was very superior to Jester, who was still young at the time, and it was also very impressive.
