Chapter 713: Sega's Invitation

The Collier brothers were not interested in the operation of private studios. Jacobson, who was specialized in business, was quickly promoted to a private part-time manager. However, he often could only work in the Ood Reord studio while handling private affairs remotely. Such days lasted for several years. Even though Jacobson later joined Polykin, the leading record industry leader, as department manager, these two distinct professions still coexisted. It was not until 2001 that Jacobson, who was tired of the music career, officially joined private and became a full-time gaming person.

As synonymous with sports simulation games, Football Manager is famous for its huge and detailed database. Private studios have thousands of scouting systems around the world. Such huge work means huge salary that is difficult to afford for football giants. However, for private, this is not a problem.

Because Jacobson has a way to find those assault fans who are also "not doing their job" as their scouts. The information depth of these old fans as scouts is not worse than that of professional scouts, and they are completely volunteers. They have never paid any money for this, and the only reward is to find their names on the long list of thanks. These "not doing their job" people show the best simulation games in front of everyone, hoping that they can continue to "not doing their jobs".

Moreover, the m series is indeed one of Jester's favorite time-killing games.

His status in his mind is not even lower than that in "Civilization".

These unemployed memories made Jester feel much happier and relieved. His pressure was indeed a bit too high during this period.

After all, the success or failure of DreamWave 3 is related to the life and death of the company. Without pressure, the more impossible it is.

At this time, the phone rang on Jester's desk. The phone was called from Japan. The content of the phone was very simple. The Japanese branch had sent a fax to the headquarters. This fax was quite important. It was sent by Sega Company. The content was about Sega's 35th anniversary celebration. I hope to invite Mars Entertainment to attend.

Of course, it is best if Jester is present.

But now Jester basically does not participate in any event and is devoted to game development, so Sega is also afraid that they will invite them. But Jester refused and lost face, so he simply did not say the name of the invitation. However, as a hardware vendor like Mars Entertainment, they still hope that Jester can attend, so that they can also have face.

Jester had some of his own ideas about this matter, but there was no conflict in time. Sega's 35th anniversary celebration would be a while.

It doesn't conflict with me going to Europe to watch my team's Champions League final.

In fact, Jester is still full of respect for Sega's company. This is definitely not a false sense. In the early days when Jester played game consoles, although it started with Mario and the most unforgettable time. It was really the Sega game left for him.

It made Jester think for a long time and might evaluate Sega and their games like this.

Being a tough guy.

In Jester's memory, Sega experienced the most tragic history of home computer wars, which was one of the several names that could not be avoided in the entire history of electronic games. However, twenty years later, the name King of Arcades, which once belonged to him, may be more just left in the wind of history and stand in an admirable image.

Looking back on the most exciting era, I once executed a project like Shenmue with a production fee of 7 billion yen. As a game company, the courage of genius is admirable. Even though it was almost bankrupt due to the exhaustion of funds, the president of SK Okawa was able to spend all his life savings to sustain his life. This attitude of rather dying than going on in his own way. Not to mention now, even before, it was too rare.

On Jester, if his company faced a crisis like Sega at that time, would he do it like the legendary president Koko Okawa?

Jester once thought deeply about this question.

The answer is no.

He did not have the sentiment, character and selfless spirit of Okawa Kou. This incident once disappointed Jester for a while.

In fact, when looking back at the history of Sega in my memory, Jester was also a little sad.

At the beginning, Sega entered the electronic game industry and used Nintendo as its opponent. When the 8-bit computer competition was completely defeated, it launched the md. This black cassette machine was probably one of the best memories of many people, including Jester himself. At that time, md was almost synonymous with the "highest game console". At that time, the few game editors in China spared no effort to praise md and vividly depict its sound and light pictures.

In that era when everyone was very hard, only a few people were qualified to play with this expensive toy. Those descriptions made many game enthusiasts who had not seen the true face of Lushan and were unbearable. However, the price of a game console and cassette was enough for the family to spend two or three months, which was undoubtedly a shame, but its dynamic scene was dreamt of countless people.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, your pursuit of entertainment has never stopped since the ignorant era.

In the era when family income was very low, buy a dual-slot recorder to listen to the silence. When it became popular, there were several hundred yuan per game card, and many people would rather eat less than wear. VHS recorders and color TVs can watch movies together, but some people are willing to buy everything just to see their favorite Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities. When the cartoon VD sold for more than ten yuan per picture, countless college students changed their breakfasts to discs with anime that were filled with water in just 40 minutes.

Therefore, the sky-high md was still willing to give everything for it. The young people who were eager for beauty in their hearts and later found all ways to entertain on the Internet may never be able to understand. Also, it is difficult for you to understand. In that era, in order to play a game, others had their own games, but they stood in the wind and snow for an hour to change the game.

That is the unique memory of those gamers in the budding era of the game.

What has passed is what has passed, and what has been experienced will treasure it as the most precious thing, while what has not been experienced may never understand it.

Perhaps, the yearning for electronic games is simply to summarize that I feel that there are infinitely fascinating elements and want to join them. And in that era, MD did have amazing capital.

Later players watched the game console change, and the moment the display screen came out, it was almost impossible to take a breath. The screen exploded again, and there were traces to follow compared to the previous generation. For example, ps3 to ps4, it only stayed at the quantitative change level, and the number of polygons increased sharply but was useless.

This so-called progress will definitely not be as boiling as the first time MD is placed in front of the world. When you compare it, you feel that it is so boiling: the colors have gone from monotonous to rich, the pictures have gone from simple to gorgeous, and even the music is no longer a pure mystery, which makes people feel thick. It is an experience of moving the gorgeous arcade home, making all players tremble all over. (To be continued...)
