Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 62 Ray gun heat
Chapter 62: The Heat of the Ray Gun
Airi Hayasawa may not be as good as some of the people in the group in terms of electronic engineering skills.
However, following Zhu Youxing under the influence of his ears and eyes also gave birth to many magical brain circuits.
In the new field of video games, you do not necessarily need to have cutting-edge technological capabilities at the beginning. As long as your imagination is wild enough, you can also make a breakthrough.
After Zhu Youxing left, several employees couldn’t wait to queue up to experience the light gun.
They are much more tolerant than Zhuyouxing, and they can still have fun playing with a delay of more than 100 milliseconds.
After all, they have not experienced a better light gun.
A ray gun of this quality is enough to satisfy them.
At the same time, they also lamented the fantastic ideas of Takeyusei and Team Leader Hayazawa.
You can actually think of using a light gun to capture the white coordinates to achieve the purpose of shooting.
This is a mode of thinking that has never appeared before.
Sometimes some things are not that difficult, but often they just lack that spark of inspiration.
A few days later, three ray gun test machines were delivered to Daejeon Masa’s entertainment hall.
Now the entertainment hall in Daejeon has been officially renamed. It should now be called Youxing Entertainment. With the name Youxing Entertainment, it can better expand its reputation.
The previous entertainment machines such as pachinko and dancing machines have been removed, leaving only red and white video game consoles that can be played. It also sells various game console-related products, including repair services.
This is now also a place to try out new games before they are released.
Each player can use their voucher for purchasing a game console to try out the latest games for free three times a week, for ten minutes each time.
Players who have not purchased a game console can purchase up to three entertainment times for 300 yen to experience it.
The purpose of limiting the number of times is to allow more players to experience the fun of game consoles. Otherwise, one person's monopoly of game opportunities will greatly affect the promotion effect of the game itself.
After the ray gun was installed, a group of people immediately heard about it and rushed to be the first to participate in the game experience.
“Hey, it’s a gun-shaped handle. Can this actually be used to shoot a gun?”
When they first saw the pistol-shaped handle, they immediately realized something and couldn't hide their surprise.
Can game consoles still play like this?
That’s what they were thinking.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the first three lucky players entered the trial area and were ready to experience the world's first light gun game.
The store clerks on the side patiently explained to customers: "You just need to hold the gun-shaped handle, point it at the screen, and pull the trigger."
Even the store clerk’s eyes were shining at this time. They all wanted to play this thing as much as the players, but the work at hand did not allow them to do so.
However, these store clerks have already made plans. When the store closes at midnight, they can close the door and have fun.
Nowadays, being a clerk in this entertainment hall is a dream job for many people.
You can have access to various games 24 hours a day, and you can play various games without restrictions.
Some children have even begun to dream of becoming clerks in this entertainment hall. Becoming an astronaut or a scientist seems less attractive than the career in front of them.
One of the players who experienced it was full of excitement at this time, and the hand holding the light gun was still shaking a little. Then he followed the clerk's instructions and carefully aimed at the target that occupied half of the screen.
Then he pulled the trigger.
With a crisp sound of gunfire on the TV, the player's bullet hit very close to the center.
“Congratulations! You hit the target!”
A slim model made of stacked pixels appears on the TV, shouting for the player.
“Is this how it works? Just aim at the screen. It feels so fun.”
“Hurry up, hurry up, we can’t wait!”
Some people began to urge. Whenever a person played for more than ten minutes, he would be immediately urged by the crowd to queue up again so as not to waste other players' time.
The three ray gun test machines have only been set up for half a day, and there was already a long queue at noon. Many players can't wait to experience the feeling of the ray gun.
Although guns are not banned in Japan, there are quite strict restrictions on owning guns, and ordinary people cannot own them at all.
So this light gun has become an alternative way to experience shooting.
Safe and risk-free, both adults and children can play.
Among the crowd, Norie Akashi is a field employee of Surui Electronics.
His usual job is only one.
That is to study competitors’ electronic products or products with potential.
Under the orders of your boss, you need to experience these products and then generate one or more detailed experience reports.
Even if you vomit, you have to continue to experience it until your superiors tell you to stop.
Before, he had experienced many products that looked amazing but were actually quite boring.
Those things become really torturous once he experiences them for a long time. If it weren't for the decent salary, he would probably give up such a terrible job.
However, since he accepted the order to experience the Famicom, he has never felt bored one day.
At the very beginning, he played all seven of the first games released and still felt a little unfinished. Then he played the next few games in turn. It seemed that there was always endless fun to play on the Famicom.
Sometimes he even forgets to record the experience report while playing. After his boss scolds him several times, he generates a short report to fool him, and then continues to play games on public funds, having a great time.
Whenever you may just feel bored, Youxing Entertainment can always add more playability to the NES.
This time the Famicom has come up with a new feature, a gun-shaped handle that allows people to experience a feeling close to real shooting. Of course, this real shooting feeling is based on the technology of this era.
When he learned that a new trial game had appeared on Zhuyou Entertainment, he ran there almost non-stop.
When he came here and saw the ray gun, he knew that his trip was worthwhile again.
The ray gun doesn’t even need the accompanying game itself to be fun. Just the fact that you can hold a gun and shoot is surprising enough and makes people want to buy it.
But whether you can really play it for a long time still depends on the game itself.
At the entrance, a store clerk has already put up a billboard advertising the light gun.
The huge sales price is also presented to everyone.
A game called Duck Hunt is bundled for a total of 8,000 yen, and you can pre-order it now.
This is a pretty expensive game among Famicom games.
But no one cared, and many players in the queue just took out 10,000 yuan bills and rushed to buy it.
It is true that Japan has experienced the bursting of its economic bubble, but its spending power is also not weak. Most people can still live a decent life, but they will be a little more strapped.
But if you really foresee something you like, you will still buy it at all costs.
What's more, this 8,000 yen is much cheaper than a mobile phone camera that can easily cost tens of thousands of yen.
