Chapter 372 Family Entertainment System(1/2)
Author: Quiet Thought
HAL Research Institute, Hongchuan Kaito walked in front of a TV set prepared with chokes and was curiously looking at a machine in front of him.
A small rectangular box about twenty centimeters has a red body, and the buttons and the decorative stripes around it are replaced by blue.
Yuanji looked openly, blue and red.
So the reason for the design is whether it fits the blue logo of Hongchuan Electric, including the blue and red design that can be inserted on both sides of the machine.
There are two buttons in the entire game console, one on the key and the other on the reset key.
There is a slot in the middle of the frame, which is the installation location of the game cassette.
When the port is not in use, it will prevent dust from entering. It is blocked by two door curtains with plastic hinges.
As for the two leg handles on the left and right, when seeing them, Hongchuan Maple feels inexplicably familiar.
There are iconic cross keys on the left side of the leg handle, and there are two simple A and B round buttons on the right side.
If you are familiar, you are too familiar, then you will be a memory of your whole childhood.
While he was looking at the blue and red machine, Satoshi Iwada and a fat, round-faced middle-aged man were also explaining how to use the game console.
"Hongchuansang, please insert it in the cassette and press the East Reset button, and they can experience the game."
As its designers, Iwada Satoshi and Akagi faithfully implemented the "very simplified" purpose proposed by Hongkawa Kaede.
Then, a game device for children does not require complex operations, and the simpler it is, the better.
Yu Fu Hongchuan Electric's blue and red machine has only two buttons left on the surface, and the game cassette is also plugged in and played.
At the same time, considering whether it is safe, all the edges and corners of the game console are rounded and chamfered.
With that round appearance, even if a child accidentally bumps and bumps, he will not get hurt or feel pain.
"Then is the game designed by your club?" Hongkawa Kaeda looked carefully with an orange cassette protected by the game.
On the front of the cassette box is a sticker made of a game poster. The cartoon villain in blue clothes runs rapidly with goggles. Behind him is a villain with a robotic image chases him.
"Lode Runner" has several bold black letters, which are extremely conspicuous in the oriental of the sticker.
“Hay, Nafow is a reel-style maze type game.
The purpose of the gamer is to steal all the gold and escape smoothly at each level."
The fat and round-faced Kudo Yuji nervously explained to Hongkawa Kaede about the various gameplay and mechanisms of the game.
It’s okay to be not nervous, can you be the famous founder of Hongchuan Electric Appliances?
The legend of its own trillion-dollar assets has been widely circulated in neon lights, and the name alone makes Yuji Kudo so nervous.
When Hongchuan Kairou always felt familiar when he saw the name "Golden Digger".
He couldn't remember where he had heard of the long-standing game poster and the seemingly unfair game.
Since he couldn't remember it for the time being, he was too lazy to think about it anymore. Pressing the switch of the Dong game console, Hongchuan Kai directly inserted the cassette into the card slot.
Another East Reset button was pressed, and a musical sound rang out.
The TV screen in front is on, and a cartoon image of a little honey that is yellow and black is slowly appearing.
"Little Bee?" Hongchuan Kai couldn't help but speak out in surprise.
"Hay!" Kudo Yujito behind him stood attentively and lowered his head, "Its name is Hachisuke, the logo of Hudson software."
However, the name of Hongchuan Fengzhong was called, and he looked at the little bee on the TV in a trance.
That cartoon image is so familiar. I played the cassettes of that game company when I was a child.
"Bombman", "South of Adventure", "The Legend of Momotaro".
Of course, no pirated cardboard was played at that time, and Bulu still made Hongchuan Kai feel intimate.
It turns out that the name of the Little Bee Company is Hudson Software. When I was a child, I always called it Little Bee.
It was not until now that Hongkawa Kaede Akira Akira Iwata Satoshi found a game partner, and he also lost one of his childhood memories.
Gently press the start button on the east leg handle, the little man with a face towel, the ladder, the pile of gold, and the brown walls, everything is so familiar.
At that time, the friends around him preferred to call it "digging gold" or "rat stealing rice".
Just now, Hongchuan Feng felt that the name "Golden Digger" was a bit familiar, so Bulu was misled by the poster, so he did not associate it in that direction.
The posters of Neon Games are simply weird. The cool scenes and characters actually have nothing to do with the real game scene.
After I inserted it into the cassette, I found that the pictures presented on the TV were basically not pixels, and there were no details in the poster.
Even though Bu Rui complained, Hongchuan Feng was a little relieved with the feeling of memories.
Tsk, the gradually familiar leg techniques made the developer Yuji Kudo’s explanation seem a bit redundant.
"Uh" Yuji Kudo, who finally realized the problem, stared at him with wide eyes.
Then, isn't that genius?
Not to mention him, even Iwada Satoshi secretly gave Higashi a thumbs up at Hongkawa Kaede.
As expected, Hongkawa Jun did not forget his original intention, and his enthusiasm for playing the wrong game was like Satoshi Iwada, and he was loyal.
"Okay" put the East Leg Handle, Hongchuan Kai looked at his game console with satisfaction.
No, it’s right!
"Let them talk about the Gold Digger game."
"Hongchuansang, are you really a genius."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuji Kudo flattered.
I didn't expect that that big guy actually had that side.
Hongchuan Feng smiled, "He is not one of the game users, and he will experience every game launched by Hongchuan Electric."
"So that's it." Kudo Yuji's face became serious, and he heard another meaning from Kaeda Hongkawa's words.
If you want Hudson Software to successfully enter the home machine platform of Hongchuan Electric, you must first pass his liquid.
"So Hongkawa San, what do you think of the game "Gold Digger"?" Kudo Yuji looked at him with a nervous expression.
"It's good fun and it's very simple in your legs." Hongchuan Kaira nodded and commented directly.
Huh~ Yuji Kudo felt relieved quietly.
Hudson Software did not make computer games before, as for the evaluation
Forget it, Yuji Kudo himself doesn't want to mention it.
"Kudo San, their home gaming console is also called FES (Family Entertainment System).
As you can see, there is a brand new gaming platform. Just ask if the games made based on it can be played in FES."
Hongkawa Kaede also gave his own game console a tall name.
Game console, that's so rustic.
Look, it’s a bit unaware of the “entertainment system”.
Some people may say that they are not sure what the "entertainment system" does.
If you don’t understand it, you’re wrong. If you don’t understand it, you will be curious and you will have the desire to understand it.
"Of course, as a gaming platform, they welcome third-party game manufacturers and Hongchuan Electric to create a brand new game entertainment system."
Kaede Kudo’s words made Yuji Kudo’s words so excited. With the size of Hongkawa Electric, is it worried about sales for his own games?
"Wulu will regulate the behavior of third-party game producers, and will also be responsible for the wrong user.
They have formulated a series of regulations that require game developers to follow together.”
If you want business, Hongchuan Kai will not forget his identity as a capitalist just because of nostalgia.
When he heard the so-called regulations, Yuji Kudo felt nervous, and he knew that the mediocre scene was coming.
"First, all third-party games must be reviewed by Hongchuan Electric before they can be launched on the FES platform."
Yuji Kudo nodded and expressed no objection. That point, Iwada Satoshi emphasized to him a long time ago.
"The second article, Hongchuan Electric Appliances receive a certain commission for all game cartridges sold at FES, with a maximum of no more than 35%.
"Hongkawa Sang!" Kudo Yuji's face turned anxious. The commission was too high.
In terms of development costs, game cartridges, promotion and other costs, Hudson software has almost no profit.
"Don't be anxious Kudo, please listen to him patiently." Hongkawa Kaede raised his leg and interrupted half of his words.
Although Yuji Kudo was anxious, he could wait patiently when Kaedaki said that.
Although that young big guy has the kind side of the joyful game.
But the strength during negotiations is also impressive.
“That 35% commission includes the cost of making game cartridges.
At the same time, when Hudson promotes the game, he can use names and related pictures like "Hongchuan Electrical Appliances" or "FES".
