Chapter 28 Sheng Mien

Hudson's schedule for making the game was very full. This morning, Shinichi Nakamoto just completed the final test of "The Bomb Bomb".

In the afternoon, I took the Shinkansen and rushed back to Sapporo to discuss the new game with the people in the hardware department.

It is said that this game will produce both arcade and red and white versions at the same time, so Shinchi Nakamoto needs to rush back.

There is no way to rush back with the body. Although technology is developed, the phone can transmit sound thousands of miles away.

But the distance in space will still greatly hinder communication and cooperation between people.

Telephones can only convey sound, and many of the information in communication is often not expressible by sound.

The implications of these words may be physical movements or an object around you.

In short, the efficiency of telephone communication is extremely low, and in this case, face-to-face communication is particularly necessary.

Nakamoto walked one by one, and the game department here immediately fell into a stagnation.

In order to make everyone feel idle and uncomfortable, the Minister of the Game Department found some dispensable jobs and asked the people in the department to do it.

Takahashi looked at the information in the game department for a while and felt that the atmosphere was not very good, which affected his reading of the information. So he photocopied some information and took it away.

It's dark in summer, and pedestrians flow on the streets. Takahashi sat on the bench by the roadside, silently flipping through the photocopying materials.

Looking at it page by page, the sunset soon fell into the valley, dyeing half of the sky's sunset red.

Neon lights are just getting bright, Takahashi stands up and prepares to walk home.

The scene at that moment just now seems to be very suitable for encountering a literary girl. If the wind is still blowing in the air, maybe I can say it literaryly, "Today's wind is a bit noisy."

Unfortunately, there is no wind or literary girl.

Although the world is big, there are not so many encounters.

"Stop fantasizing, go, before the wind stops."

I bought some special dishes and walked home. I walked upstairs and opened the door, but found that my uncle was not at home.

Where did uncle go?

I searched up and downstairs on Gaoqiao Tower and found that not only my uncle, but the other orphans were not there.

He remembered what Han Bugou said that day, and maybe they went out collectively because of this.

Takahashi was waiting while looking at the information. After waiting for a long time, before his uncle came back, he was really hungry, so he started dinner first.

Regarding the game he talked to Nakamoto Shinichi, he had a relatively complete idea in his mind. He had already started writing the plan.

While he was writing a plan, he was also trying to find solutions to the problems he might encounter. For example, too many blocks can be destroyed, which will cause great difficulties in the design of the game.

He now has a vague idea, which is to wait for "Super Mario Bros.", which is called "Super Mario" by Chinese pirated merchants. After Nintendo's first-party game was released, he would refer to the programming design of this game.

Although the bricks in "Super Mario Bros." are not very eye-catching, they are full of all parts of the game. And these blocks are truly destructible blocks.

If you can see the original code of Super Mario Bros., it will be particularly helpful for the game you want to make.

The advantage of Hudson as Nintendo's first third-party is that he can obtain development documents for almost all Nintendo's first-party red and white game.

After all, the technical strengths of each third party are different. If you want to steadily improve the overall game quality on red and white machines, Nintendo, as the first party, needs to help the third party.

Of course, this one is not free, it is charged.

Although the charge is charged, judging from the current situation, all third parties are willing to purchase these technical development documents.

After all, for them, if the game production technology improves, it will directly show the game sales, and if the game sells better, it will make more money.

Nintendo's behavior is actually helping them make money.

Of course, Nintendo made a lot of money in this process.

Because of the premium system founded by Hiroshi Yamauchi, only Nintendo has the right to produce red and white cassettes. Even if other third-party games pass Nintendo's review, they cannot produce game cassettes by themselves. Nintendo must be entrusted to produce them.

Although this system seems domineering, it is a necessary measure in this era.

The reason for Atari's collapse is that in addition to the official Atari taking the lead in making garbage games, there is another important reason, that is, anyone can produce game cartridges for Atari game consoles, and Atari has no right to interfere.

Therefore, while many inferior games appear on the market, there are also many shell-changing games.

Maybe a game is not sold well and it is not sold out after it is produced. Logically speaking, it can only be sold at a low price.

But some merchants have made some thoughts. They take back the cards, replace them with a cover, and sell them a new game again.

In this way, American players are becoming more and more cautious about games on the market. Although there are conscientious publishers like Activision, there are too many people taking advantage of the situation.

Finally, "ET Alien" ignited the anger of players, and players voted with their feet and refused to buy any games on the Atari platform.

This industry, which was about to reach tens of billions of annual sales in the 1980s, was destroyed by all practitioners.

With the lessons of the past, Nintendo established a premium system after the release of the Red and White Machine. Only third parties certified by Nintendo can make games for the Red and White Machine, and the games they make must undergo Nintendo's quality review before they can be released, and the production of cassettes must be made by Nintendo.

Through this method, Nintendo turned the red and white machine into a highly closed platform.

And this highly closed platform has also built Nintendo's empire myth.

After Takahashi finished his meal, he ordered pixels for a while before his uncle came back.

Takahashi put down his pen and found that his uncle was smelling alcohol all over. He asked, "What have you done?"

"Have a meal together." Uncle, who was like a drunk cat, said in a weird tone.

"Eat? What kind of food to eat to drink so much wine."

"Just be happy if you don't eat anything!"

Seeing his uncle like this, Takahashi knew that he had drunk too much, and even if he asked again, he couldn't find anything.

He asked his uncle to lie down well, then took a basin of water, threw a pitcher towel, and wiped his uncle's face.

The uncle lying on the ground was still unhonest and kept rolling. As he rolled, a note fell out of his pocket.

Takahashi picked up the note and found it was a bill for the meal.

In other people's opinion, it is not too much to eat tens of thousands of yen for a meal, but for the original food standards of two people, Takahashi's uncle and nephew, who had no more than 500 yuan, it was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

Takahashi looked at his uncle, not knowing what to say. Forget it, let him be happy.
