"It's so grand..."

Looking at the abortion in front of him, Harrison, who participated in the Martian entertainment for the past year, couldn't help but sigh.

The only difference between him and last year was that he only participated as an ordinary player or audience last year. He was also lucky at that time because the Mars Entertainment Carnival was held for the first time. At the beginning, the tickets were not particularly difficult to buy, so he specially bought one.

If I waited for $5,000 per ticket later, I might have to give up.

Speaking of which, I was firm at that time, but it was $5,000. Just when I was queuing up, someone offered this price to buy the ticket in my hand. I didn’t know what I was fascinated by, so I refused. Now I think that if I gave myself another chance, I might have to trade the ticket in my hand directly.

Unfortunately, I originally wanted to buy it as soon as possible this year, but because the Mars Entertainment Carnival was held too successfully last year, when I wanted to buy the tickets, the tickets were sold out long ago.

However, this year's self is different from last year.

As an employee who has some relatives with the magazine's boss, Harrison naturally got the opportunity to represent their magazine to attend the Mars Entertainment Carnival. He did not need to queue up for an hour or two to enter the venue like last year, but instead entered directly through the special passage behind the Anaheim Convention and Exhibition Center.

Harrison watched outside for a few minutes before hearing someone greet him.

He turned his head and looked at it. It was the staff of Mars Entertainment. He immediately smiled on his face and walked over quickly. He knew that he was here to pick him up and drop him in the venue early from the special passage of the exhibition center. This time it was a little shorter than last year's time for them to be in advance. It was only half an hour, and there was nearly an hour last year.

However, it is said that Mars Entertainment Carnival is reforming every year. It seems that starting from the third session next year, there will be no preferential treatment for media to enter the market in advance.

The ID was checked in detail. Harrison saw that the staff member in front of him carefully checked the special admission certificate in his hand several times, and called to confirm it before he let it go. When passing the special passage, the staff member gave him a map of the scene.

When I opened the map and saw Harrison, who participated in the carnival of last year, glanced at it. He realized that it was similar to the arrangement last year.

In Area A, the largest main venue in the Anaheim Convention Center, is the top priority of this carnival. The map specifically stated that at 9:30, Jester Lee will give a speech here, and the trial venue for "Age of Empires" which was previously praised by the most influential game magazines such as "Game" is also there.

As expected.

Harrison saw that, like himself, the media members who entered the market from the special passage behind, after getting the map and browsing it casually, immediately set their first location in Area A.

And Harrison is not to be outdone.

"Last year, "Thunder Hammer" was released in District A, which caused a huge sensation. I wonder if "Age of Empire" can achieve the same effect as last year."

"Yes, I remember that after the Carnival, almost all media and players called "Thor's Hammer" the greatest game on the PC platform. Even if it was included in the home computer platform, there were few previews that could match it!"

"But have you discovered it in recent years? Jester Lee seems to have shifted his interest in game development from home computers to PCs. For example, last year's "Thor Hammer", and the current "Fantasy Simulation War" and "Age of Empires"..."

"Yes, although we haven't played it yet, you can tell from the review of "Game" that their evaluation of "Fantasy Simulation" is just a game that has just passed the qualifications, and it has not brought them any surprises, although this game is the best among similar games."

"And Age of Empires is not like this. They evaluated this game as an incredible game!"

"Not only that, you can tell when you look at the arrangement of the Mars Entertainment Carnival this time. The main venue was given to "Age of Empire", and "Fantasy Simulation War" was also Jest's work, and the trial machine was only half of "Age of Empire".

As Harrison quickly walked towards Area A, he heard similar discussions coming into his ears from time to time. He also thought so. As a member of an ordinary game magazine, they were not like "Game", who could get the "Age of Empire" test game in advance before the carnival for testing.

But they all work in the same industry, who don’t have some friends.

Since magazines such as "game" have obtained the opportunity to test, some smaller players can also get some news about these games from their friends. Although the news about the games must be kept confidential before the carnival, as long as they do not spread it themselves, there will be no problem.

Harrison naturally heard his colleagues talk about "Age of Empires" before. His colleague's friend is a member of "Game", and he said it from his friend who works in "Game".

When he recalled the content of the game "Age of Empire" described by his colleagues in his mind, Harrison was naturally passionate. He himself was a fan of the game "Civilization", but for him, "Civilization" is fun, but the pace of this game plane is a bit too slow.

So, when he heard the gameplay of "Age of Empires", a voice immediately appeared deep in his heart.

This is the game he wants.

The main venue of the Anaheim Convention and Exhibition Center is very large and is now divided into two parts. One part is when the opening is held. There is a rostrum and hundreds of seats in the place where Jester Lee gave a speech. Although there are not many seats, there are about 1,000 people in the spare place.

And it doesn't matter even if you are not on the scene. There are large-sized screens everywhere in the venue. The main ones will be live broadcast to the players in the venue through these screens in real time, so that the people in the venue will not miss the exciting content of the carnival.

This is also a place that has improved compared to last year. I missed some content last year, but it was missed, which made many people feel sorry for me.

The other part of the main venue is all the trial area of ​​"Age of Empires", which also draws on the experience of "Thor Hammer" last year. Last year, "Thor Hammer" arranged more than 150 trial machines. I originally thought that this was already a lot, but Mars Entertainment still misjudged the players' enthusiasm for this game.

And the appeal of this game.

This year, Mars Entertainment not only doubled the trial machine to 300, but also, when every carnival participant enters the venue, they will exchange the tickets in their hands for a special card, which has an account name and a password on it.

And the test opportunity for "Age of Empires" is on this special card.

Harrison came to the test area of ​​"Age of Empires" to find an empty computer and sat down on the front seat. Now it is just the media's early entry time, so it seems to be extremely empty and fast. However, after the players start entering the venue for a while, as he who had participated in the carnival of last year, he naturally knew what a scene of crowds and cooking oil was like.

You know, he spent an hour and a half in line to enter the venue last year, and then he queued for another hour and a half in the trial area of ​​"Thor's Hammer" before playing for twenty minutes.

That's like now, you can enter in advance and play in advance.

That feeling is simply incomparable.

When you turn on the computer, the first thing that comes to Harrison's eyes is an image operating system. He is not unfamiliar with this system. This is a system just launched by Microsoft. It is no worse than Apple's Macintosh computer in terms of convenience. Moreover, the biggest advantage of this operating system is that it is an unlimited computer, which means it can be used on all compatible machines.

Apple's image operating system can only be used on their backward Macintosh computers, and cannot be used on other compatible machines. Macintosh computers have long been unable to keep up with the times.

It is said that Jester is involved in the development of the operating system, at least he provided part of the development fund. Bill Gates himself has made accusations on this, and most importantly, in previous interviews, Mars Entertainment also made this special statement.

That is the game "Age of Empires", which can only be run on systems with or above versions.

If Jester had no special relationship with Microsoft's win system before, they would not have made this setting specifically, but this was nothing for Harrison because it was really useful. Many Apple users complained about Jester's statement because their Apple computers could not play Jester's games.
