Chapter 57 Fatal BUG
"President, some players discovered such a bug. The gold digger was invincible when he climbed the ladder with his right hand higher than his left hand. This was a bug in his eyes. I wonder if he wanted to recall it. Otherwise, if this matter expands, it will affect the company's reputation..." Nakamoto took a few pieces of paper in one hand, and he spread the pieces of paper flat on the table.
What is drawn on the paper is an error. When the gold digger is on the ladder and his right hand is higher than his left hand, he is invincible when he is touched by the enemy.
Yuji Kudo looked at the paper without saying anything.
Takahashi had a little idea. It is impossible to recall it. Including more than 100,000 cartridges that are still being produced, there are a total of one million cartridges in "Gold Digger".
It was originally a card made by a loan. If you recover it, you don’t have to cause trouble for Broadbond. Hudson just filed for bankruptcy by himself.
"Does this question affect the game?" Takahashi asked.
"?" Nakamoto Shin-chi looked at Takahashi in question. He probably wanted to ask, but he was invincible, so why didn't he affect the game?
"I mean this." Takahashi said, pointing to the hand-drawn game screen, "If you want your right hand to be higher than your left hand, it means you can't move, right? You can't be invincible if you move, right? However, he will still attract enemies. Although he is invincible, the enemies you attract will wrap him up.
Once he moves, he will be invincible. In this case, he will not be able to move.
I don’t think I need to retrieve it at all, so I just treat this bug as the Easter egg from "Gold Digger". When I go on the show tomorrow, I will demonstrate it on the show, saying that it is an Easter egg deliberately left by the game maker. That’s all."
"Can this work?" Nakamoto Shinchi was still young, his tone was a little hesitant. In his opinion, doing so was deceiving consumers.
Although most Japanese companies in this era are keen on copycats, they still attach great importance to the reputation of their own companies.
A good way to avoid spending money is a good way. Yuji Kudo compared it with two pieces of paper and said, "Shinichi, you can play with Takahashi's real machine. If this problem can be reproduced and does not affect the normal game, just do what he said. If it affects the normal game, think of a way."
"Well..." Nakamoto nodded when he heard the boss' decision. Although he was still a little hesitant, he still nodded.
After walking out of the office together, Takahashi comforted, "Don't worry too much. You can't see "Pac Man" in Dreams and "Don't Kung Fu" in Nintendo, both have problems, and they are fatal problems. However, most people will not play "Pac Man" until the 255th level, and most players will not play "Don't Kung Fu" until the countdown to the countdown to the negative number.
So, even if they have problems, they are still a good game.
Is the issue of "Gold Digger" considered a major accident? I don't think it counts, it doesn't affect the normal game. If you really want to repeat this action, you can't continue playing the game.
In limited memory, bringing more games to players without affecting normal games is also a kind of ability."
Nakamoto nodded a little.
The two of them went downstairs to verify this problem, and it can indeed be triggered 100%. After the trigger, they will die as soon as they move, which will not affect the normal game at all.
"Don't worry, I'll just go on TV tomorrow to talk." Takahashi patted Nakamoto's shoulder and went home.

"Director! I found a big news!" a tehkan clerk shouted loudly, the predecessor of tecmo, a tehkan clerk.
"What's wrong? It's a big fuss." The director sat at the desk in a security suit. He was not a maverick in security suit, but a company engaged in property security not long ago.
"Hudson is over!" said the clerk happily, "There is a big problem with their "Gold Digger" program. When the characters move, they will trigger invincible mistakes. I think we can do this and do this again. If they make a fuss in the media, they are not claiming to have printed million cassettes. If they are recalled, they will not kill them. Even if they are not recalled, hehe..."
The staff member smiled sinisterly.
"Don't laugh!" said the director sternly.
The clerk covered his mouth.
The director walked up in the office with a serious expression, three circles on the left and three circles on the right.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Two minutes later, he laughed like a barbell.
"Okay! Well done! Hudson's doomsday is coming!" The director sat down again, picked up the phone and dialed a number. During the dialing process, he said to the clerk, "You go and prepare the information, I'm of great use!"
"Yes!" The clerk trotted out of the office.
To talk about why the director was so happy to see Hudson's unluckyness, we have to start with "Interstellar Power".
Because he is optimistic about the development of Nintendo's red and white machines, tehkan itself is not a third party to Nintendo. Therefore, the director found Hudson to cooperate.
At the beginning, it was a win-win situation, but Hudson did not expect that he would gain more and not only get the arcade distribution rights of "Star Power", but he also privately developed the sequel to "Star Power" without notifying Tehkan.
Isn't this riding on your head and shit?
After learning the news, tehkan was very angry. The director who led the matter naturally took the blame.
The director kept breathing in his heart, and at this moment, when he heard that there was a big problem with "Golden Digger", he felt relieved and happy.
"Hey! I am Kenichi Kudo from Tehkan. I have a news about Hudson. I believe you will be interested. Can you invite you to have a meal and talk?" The director reported to his own way.
Originally, such dirty water should not be exposed. But if you don’t tell where you are from, who will care about you?
In order to report this matter as soon as possible and to make Hudson bad as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to show his identity.
Directors have never liked media. Media is like flies, they fly wherever there is news.
If it weren't for the need for a channel to spread its own game to the masses, tehkan would have cut off contact with all media.
Wine and drink, eat and talk.
"Don't worry, I'll report this week! I hate borers like Hudson, too. The gaming industry lacks conscientious companies like Tehkan!" The reporter said while receiving the red envelope.
The director with a red face quietly waited for the arrival of Hudson's collapse.

"Good morning, I'm Takahashi from Hudson. Today I will introduce to you an interesting easter egg in "Gold Digger". This was told by the programmer myself!
This easter egg will make our protagonist invincible!
If you are interested, then let's see me demonstrate!" Takahashi said in a slightly childish tone at the camera.
On the screen, the gold digger climbed on the ladder, his right hand was a little higher than his left hand.
Chapter completed!
