Because time is tight, Jester only has one day to promote, so this time the player trial will only be held in Costa Mesa, which also disappointed Jester a little. He originally wanted to hold his company's first trial and press conference a little grand.

But this can only be done next time.

However, to Jester's surprise, in addition to the players of Costa Mesa, there were also enthusiastic fans of "American Cubes" in the Orange area, who drove to participate.

They also want to see what the next game will be for a company like America's Cubes. This is extremely valuable in the United States, which has lost confidence in the video game industry.

The time was originally set at 8:30 in the morning, but before 8:00, hundreds of enthusiastic players gathered in front of the Mars Entertainment Company building.

They kept shouting the names of Mars Entertainment, and some people held display boards with the words "American Squares" written in colored pens.

Seeing this scene, Jester knew that this had far exceeded the capacity of the fifteen new arcade machines, so he made a quick decision and opened it in advance.

Then he made a decision in his mind that he would have to make more arcade machines at the next press conference, otherwise he would not be able to receive these enthusiastic players at all.

This trial is free. Each player will receive a license plate. According to the order of numbers, each time you will be allowed to enter fifteen players. You can display any three games, play the previous game, or at most ten minutes.

The staff who maintain order recognize the cards but not the people.

If you have a card, you will play without a card.

If you want to continue to try it in, players have to find a way themselves. Jester is not so unconventional that he will sell license plates, but the players can't stop their private transactions.

"Fifty dollars!! Give me your license plate! I'll pay fifty dollars!" A fat white man who had just been forced out of the trial hall was struggling to squeeze out the crowd and shouted at the next group of players about to enter the trial hall.

The man's expression was excited, his face was flushed, and his clothes were neat and clean, not as if he was sick. His actions also made people around him look at him.

You know, although fifty dollars are not much, they are not much, especially in 1984, when the salary of an ordinary TV host was only less than two thousand dollars a month.

Besides, it's just a short, few minutes to try a game. Although this is the latest development by the company that developed "American Cubes". Although I like to play "American Cubes", I know whether the new game they developed is fun. You should know that before the production of "ET", Atari made countless classic games!

So, two players really hesitated and traded their license plates to the man who seemed a little obese. Then the man took out a hundred dollars without hesitation and handed them to the other party, and then used the action of a vicious dog to grab food from the opponent, and grabbed the two license plates into his own hands.

It seems that he is afraid that the other party will regret it.

Afterwards, the man walked arrogantly towards the trial hall again. When he reached the gate, he raised the license plate in his hand to the security guard who had just said he had set up, and stepped into the gate with this group of players.

One license plate corresponds to one game opportunity. Of course, the man's two license plates correspond to two game opportunities. This is also what Jester has long ordered the employees of Mars Entertainment here.

This time, the man chose "Gem Maze" that he had not tried for the first time - this one is weird, with no rocker and buttons, and only a beautiful arc-shaped mouse.

This machine, which looked a bit weird, caught his attention when he first came in. He wanted to get close to find out, but he was not the only one who had the same idea as him, because the appearance of this machine was so attractive, but there were only five of the "Gem Maze" machines among the fifteen people.

As a result, he could only play a game that he didn't like just by looking at the name, "Puzzle-Bobble".

"Mobile puzzle? What a bad name..." At that time, the somewhat fat Bayern man complained, and with the help of the staff, he reluctantly started his own trial.

He doesn't really like this game with such a weird name.

"Puzzle-Bobble" is the English name of "Bubble Dragon". This is a puzzle marble decryption game originally sold in 1994. The original production company was the famous TAITO. It has different Chinese translations. Generally speaking, it is commonly called Teto.

Perhaps this is a name that is unknown now, and there are very few young new players who have heard of it. Even this company was acquired by Square Enix just after the new century, but in the entire history of electronic games, TAITO has a very important position.

This company is the world's earliest electronic games practitioner organization and one of the initiators of the Japan Arcade Industry Association (NAMA).

In February 1967, Teto, Nakamura Productions (Namco), and Sega, three companies that accounted for 40% of Japanese arcades at that time, initiated the establishment of NAMA. The association had a great influence, covering almost all the giants in the Japanese gaming industry except Ren Hell.

Like Sega, Teto started with marble machines like most video game companies of that era. If no one appeared, maybe Teto would have ended up like most electronic game companies, buried in the torrent of history, just like more than 100 Japanese game companies that did not even have their names left behind.

One day, a young man named Tomohiro Nishikaku joined Teto. He was a powerful man who taught TTL substrate technology by himself in college. After he joined Teto, especially when he met Atari's "Pong!", he completely ignited his enthusiasm for game creation. Several sports games he designed based on "Pong!" became very popular as soon as they were launched, and even sold back to the United States, earning a lot of profits for Teto.

If so, maybe nothing is worth writing about, but one day in 1978, based on the inspiration of a previous game by Teto, Nishikaku Tomohiro designed an electronic game that has been recorded in history, "The Space Invader".

Maybe if you change the name, you will become more familiar with this game. This game is loved by players who love it.

There is an interesting story about this game, because the game coins used in this game were 100 yuan in yen, which caused an extremely shortage of 100 yuan coins in Japan, and there was even a case where some people bought 100 yuan coins at twice the price. Some arcade halls even all had this machine, because players only played "Space Invaders" and were disdainful of other games.

This is a very great game. It directly created the prosperity of arcades. Later, "Space Invaders" was also selected by IGN as one of the fifty milestones in the history of electronic games.

Nishikaku Tomohiro also forever engraved his name on history.

"What! The game is over? Is it over?" Two minutes later, the white man who was attracted by the pleasure of the game just started, suddenly saw the words GAME-OVER that suddenly appeared on the screen, and his face instantly showed an angry look. He completely forgot his previous disdain for this game.

Originally, the white man wanted to continue trying it, but the staff had already discovered that his trial had ended. Seeing that he was still struggling and did not want to leave, he was finally snatched by the strong security staff who were called by the staff.

This time, the fat white man who came in the second time rushed towards him and was very interested when he first came in. The arcade machine operated with an arc mouse, which made the other fourteen people feel a little confused.

"Gem Maze, this name sounds like a good game. Although the previous game is very fun, its name is too bad..." The white man started to try it out with the help of the staff. He grabbed the mouse that was very pleasing to his eyes with one hand and quickly operated it, with an incredible expression on his face.

“This feels unparalleled!”

When the white man sighed, his movements were also moving rapidly, constantly clicking on the two adjacent gems in the screen matrix. Then, he saw that the three gems connected together on the screen were dissipated, and then the gems on it fell down, forming three connected gems again and disappeared immediately. Then, new gems continued to fall from the top of the matrix, like a spreading avalanche, and a large area of ​​gems were eliminated at the same time.

Listening to the pleasant sound effects of the gems disappearing and watching the special effects of the gems disappearing, the white man's face was full of excitement.

The pleasure of this game seems much stronger than that of "American Cubes" and "Bubble Dragon" in the sense of a white man, especially the smoothness of using a mouse, which made him unforgettable. He had still wanted to play it again, but he seemed to think of something. Then he raised the second license plate in his hand to the staff and walked towards the only game he had never touched, "Zuma".

Players outside the trial hall were even more excited after hearing the story of the person who came out of the trial.

Especially when players who are still interested in playing the game use US dollars to acquire license plates for trial play, the price of fifty dollars at the beginning is still accepted by everyone, but as more people go inside to try play, more people start spending US dollars to acquire license plates for trial play that can enter the trial hall again.

The prices of these license plates have also risen a lot, and at their peak they even rose to nearly one hundred US dollars.

The three ABC crews also watched all this with a little stunned viewer, and then used their own camera to faithfully record the scene. This was really incredible in their eyes. They spent 100 US dollars without hesitation just for a few minutes of game time.

If it were converted into money according to this ratio, the time the three of them spent in it yesterday afternoon was enough for them to buy a good luxury house in Los Angeles.

After the white man finished playing all three games, his face turned red. He looked at the three game consoles in front of him with some excitement, as if he was looking at three mountains of gold.

"I want to meet your boss. My name is Adam Edgar. I am a businessman. I have a big business and I want to talk to your boss about these three game consoles!" The man who understood the understanding walked directly to a staff member, took out an exquisite business card from his pocket, and handed it to the other party.

The Mars Entertainment staff looked at the man who called himself Adam Edgar seriously, confirmed that the other party seemed to be not playing a prank, so they took his business card and said, "Please wait." After that, they muttered a few words to their colleagues, turned around and walked towards the second floor.

The white man stood aside and waited for the result without any rush.

But even if Jester has been informed by the staff, he may not have time to meet Adam Edgar, who claims to be a businessman, who is meeting a guest whom he expected would definitely come.

It is also a customer who can help him temporarily solve the problem of insufficient production capacity.

After the people from Renhell met him, he expected that the people from this company would definitely come to him, but he did not expect that the other party would delay for so long.

"I have seen President Li, Yu Suzuki, who is the representative of Sega Company this time. Originally, President Hayao Nakayama had been planning to send someone to contact him, but you know that last year, our Sega arcade business collapsed across the United States. In order to reduce losses, we had to sell the American branch, so we delayed a lot of effort when discussing the dispatch matter from the headquarters. I am really sorry."

In front of Jester was a young Asian man, with yellow skin like him, black eyes and black hair. When he saw Jester, he bent down at 90 degrees, looking extremely nervous.

"Yu Suzuki?" When Jester heard the young man's name, he couldn't help but look curious on his face. He carefully looked at the young man in his twenties in front of him.

Is this the future soul of Sega Yusuki who is as famous as Miyamoto Shigeru?
