Chapter 139 The masterpiece of the game industry and the arcade market!
Chapter 139 A masterpiece in the gaming industry and arcade market!
Public security in Tokyo is not necessarily better than security in Xiangjiang.
The security situation in Hong Kong in the 1970s, 1980s, and even the 1990s was indeed worrying.
Yang Ming didn't want anything to happen to these game talents like Nishikado Tomohiro and others who had just arrived from Japan in Xiangjiang.
Yang Ming, Mailisi and others came out of Kairui Hotel.
The white general manager of the Kai Rui Hotel personally escorted Yang Ming to the Rolls-Royce outside the door.
Chen Zhenhua drove Yang Ming back to the Repulse Bay Mid-level Villa in a Rolls-Royce.
...
"Peter, why are you back so late? Have you had dinner?"
Yang Ming had just gotten off the car when his mother Li Yufang, maids A Zhu and Zhong Chuhong came out to greet him.
Yang Ming came back tonight almost half an hour later than usual.
Yang Ming spent a high price of US$6 million to acquire the rights to this game.
"Boss, Mr. Nishiko and others arrived at the company an hour ago and are now in the conference room."
Tomohiro Nisikado's powerful hardware capabilities are fully demonstrated in Space Invaders.
Prices in Hong Kong vary every year.
Next, Yang Ming and Tomohiro Nisikado were in the chairman's office of Imperial Games Company, where Yang Ming and Tomohiro Nisikado discussed for a long time.
"Now I officially announce that Mr. Nisikado Tomohiro will serve as the director of the Empire Game Design Department. The salary and benefits will be double those of Taito Co., Ltd. As for other positions, Mr. Nisikado Tomohiro will be confirmed."
He also borrowed barrel shifter circuit technology from the Gun Fight developed by Midway, allowing for smoother animations. The barrel shifter circuit allowed the 8080 CPU to move graphics frames faster than using just its own native instructions. The image in the buffer.
Yang Ming, Malisi, and Barlow were sitting in front.
"Yes, Mommy."
"I heard that your Empire State Building will be built 700 meters high?"
Yang Ming went downstairs in a wheelchair.
Yang Ming was still busy in front of his computer until 0 o'clock in the evening.
Even $60 million is worth it.
This can be regarded as the first person behind Yang Ming, Barlow and Xu Qingsheng.
Downstairs on the 28th floor is the headquarters of Empire Games.
"I am very optimistic about the "Space Invaders" game developed by Tomohiro Nisikado in Taito, and I spent 1.2 billion yen to acquire the ownership rights from Taito at a high price."
"Mommy, I just accompanied some people from Japan to have dinner at the Kai Rui Hotel. They have already had dinner. You and Daddy should go have dinner first."
In the afternoon, the news channel of Asia Television has broadcast it.
If the Imperial Group wanted to imitate, it would be really easy.
What surprised them the most was that it was equipped with hundreds of IBM5100 computers, each of which was a high-end version.
More than one billion Hong Kong dollars?
What is this concept?
When Azhu and Zhong Chuhong saw the bag full of thousand-yuan bills, which was still worth 100 million, they were shocked and speechless.
Let Tomohiro Nisikado discover that Yang Ming's understanding of game consoles is no worse than his.
This "Space Invaders" has not yet been officially released, and he found that Yang Ming actually knew more than him.
Yang Ming doesn't need Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong to accompany him.
While programming the game, Nishikado discovered that the processor was able to render each frame of the alien animation graphics faster when there were fewer aliens on the screen.
Since the alien's position is automatically updated after each frame, the alien will move across the screen at an increasing speed as more aliens are destroyed.
There are not many such high-end computers even in Taito Co., Ltd.
This is how to play Space Invaders.
Li Yufang and Yang Jirong went to have dinner first.
In the Empire Games conference room.
When Yang Ming reached the 29th floor of the Imperial Group, Tomohiro Nisikado and other Japanese people had already left the Kairui Hotel early and came to the headquarters of the Imperial Group for the first time.
Lin Xiuzhi arranged for them to wait for Yang Ming in the conference room.
When Lin Xiuzhi took Nisikado Tomohiro and the others downstairs, Yang Ming drank the cup of brewed coffee in the chairman's office.
Yang Ming knew.
Take a bus to the Federal Building.
9:30 am.
He used an Intel 8080 microprocessor as the computing unit, a bitmap frame buffer to display raster graphics on a CRT monitor, and a monophonic sound analog circuit combined with the Texas Instruments SN76477 sound chip to play music and sound effects.
In addition, many evening newspapers and periodicals also reported this news in the afternoon.
Tomohiro Nisikado really didn't expect that he would be announced as the director of the Empire Game Design Department just after arriving in Xiangjiang.
"You will take them downstairs to visit first."
Tomohiro Nishikado never expected that in Xiangjiang Central District, where land is at a premium, the boss, Mr. Yang, would actually rent this floor as the office space of Empire Games.
"48 aliens, divided into 6 rows of 8, move horizontally across the screen. Once an invader touches the side of the screen, the aliens will drop down a row, bringing them closer to the player tank at the bottom of the screen
.Laser Blaster To engage the aliens, dodge their shots by moving from left to right, eventually killing all the aliens on the screen. The more aliens you kill, the faster they fall
Fast. As each wave progresses, the green barrier players use for cover will eventually evaporate, leaving you more vulnerable. After killing all the invaders, you will move on to the next wave, and as you progress, the game
It’s becoming more and more difficult.”
After Yang Ming finished exercising, he had breakfast with his parents.
This game has not yet been truly perfected and ready for the market.
Yang Ming went up to the study room on the third floor.
After distributing global stock information.
In addition to recording global stock information.
A 700-meter-tall building?
What is this concept?
Including labor costs, construction material costs, etc.
But, right now, Space Invaders is the only one.
The price is nearly $20,000 per unit.
According to Yang Ming's plan, this 700-meter-tall building will be repaired in three years at the earliest and five years at the latest.
What Tomohiro Nisikado didn't expect was that these high-end versions of IBM computers were all equipped for staff like them.
After turning on his computer, he started busy with his work.
Now the highest in the world is only over 400 meters, and the highest in Xiangjiang is only over 200 meters.
"Ten or two billion Hong Kong dollars!"
By the time Yang Ming, Mailisi, and Barlow arrived here, Nisikado Tomohiro and others had been visiting here for a long time.
If it had been built earlier, the investment scale of the Empire State Building would not have been so large.
On the contrary, the later the construction, the greater the investment.
In Yang Ming's opinion, it is very worthwhile.
Have a night's rest.
Tomohiro Nisikado and more than 20 people were sitting in the back.
In 1978, this kind of mini-game was actually similar to some mini-games played on mobile phones in the 21st century.
When A-Zhu and Zhong Chuhong came up after dinner and served Young Master Yang to take a bath, A-Zhu asked: "Master, how much investment does your company need to build a 700-meter-tall building?"
Li Yufang, Yang Jirong and others were shocked when they saw it.
Wait until Yang Ming comes out from the shower.
Early the next morning.
"This is Mr. Merliss, general manager of Empire Group. Mr. Barlow, I think you are already familiar with him. Like Mr. Xu Qingsheng who is still in Dongyang, he is the deputy general manager of Empire Games Company."
Empire Group held a press conference in the morning to announce the construction of the Empire State Building on the original site of Murray Building.
He did not modify this setting, but thought it could be used as a game mechanism. This is what he said at the beginning, using alien movement to replace the traditional timer design.
Historically, this game is definitely a masterpiece.
Once it was launched, it immediately shocked the global gaming industry and triggered the golden age of the global arcade market.
