Game Development Giant

This game whose name Jester didn't even bother to remember surprised him.

It's not that this game is very good, but that this game is very similar to a very famous game. In Jester's opinion, there is basically more than 60% similarity.

What the designer of this game did was to reshape Namco's classic game Pac-Man and make it again, and then it became his own game, and although Sega used a processor with a processing power higher than Mos6502 is a powerful Z80 processor, but lacking a dedicated PPU, their image processing is obviously much worse than FC, and at most a little better than Atari 2600.

But this is not a problem. After all, the Pac-Man game does not rely on the gorgeous graphics as its selling point, but on the gameplay.

Jester started the game with great anticipation, and then after controlling it for less than five minutes with a controller joystick that looked very much like an Atari 2600, he couldn't help but get furious and threw it aside.

But just after he threw the controller out, Jester suddenly felt a little funny. He was already the boss of a game company, how could he act like an ordinary player and get angry whenever he encounters such an unsatisfactory game? Wouldn't it be nice to see some junk products made by your rival companies in the future? Thinking of this, Jester couldn't help laughing.

Although the voice was not loud, Claudia heard it clearly.

Claudia had just stood behind Jester without saying a word, just watching Jester's every move quietly. Originally, she was just like an iceberg, not showing the slightest expression, but she When she saw Jester losing control of his emotions, which she had never seen since she met him, she actually showed an unexpected expression.

Then, she heard Jester's laughter that seemed to be self-deprecating, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile as well.

The Sega service staff on the side obviously also noticed Jester's dissatisfaction. Even if she did not see the scene where Jester still took out the controller, she only needed to see a player who was experiencing the game and played a game. If I put aside the game I was playing for less than five minutes and didn't play it, I knew something was wrong.

Smimasai!

She hurriedly stepped forward, bent down, and out of desperation actually said an apology in Japanese.

Then she asked Jester: Sir, are you not happy with the games? We have many more games here. There will always be ones you like to play...

But before she could finish speaking, Jester shook his head and interrupted her.

It's not a problem with the game, it's a problem with the controller. The controller of your game console is too insensitive. When I was playing just now, I had to push the joystick in one direction three or four times in a row before I could control it. The character goes where I want them to go, and to be honest, playing the game with a controller like this is just masochistic for your fingers.”

Then Jester paused and asked in a mocking tone: Don't you, Sega, need to test it after you finish making the game console?

Hearing what Jester said, the waiter also had a look of fear on his face.

In fact, those who have been selling sg-1000 for a year also know this problem. This is also the biggest problem of sg-1000. After the sales of sg1000 were not good, the company's designers also discovered the problem and have already solved it. A new model of sg-1000 game console was developed, which improved the shortcomings of the controller being not sensitive enough. But the problem is that this time Sega designers made a big problem here. Their newly designed sg-1000 model improved model, the new controller equipped with the sg-1000markii model is not compatible with its previous version sg-1000.

This is simply the greatest absurdity in the world.

Moreover, this new and improved game console has been on sale for more than three months, but Sega has no plans to modify it to be compatible with the SG-1000. Moreover, their British branch has not received the SG-1000 yet. -1000markii is a new machine, so we can only continue to sell the old sg-1000 here.

Then, the Sega service staff kept apologizing to Jester, and repeatedly said that the four Mars Entertainment games they had just released were fun, and he hoped Jester could experience them.

But Jester was not interested in playing games that he had already played enough. He pointed at the sg-1000 that he had just sprayed: Give me a machine of this model, and this one. Give me a copy of all the game cartridges for the game console and send them to this address.

After finishing speaking, Jester took out his wallet and took a look at it. He then remembered that he had not put the pounds he had exchanged on him, so he raised his head and asked the service staff: Do you accept US dollars?

Sir, I'll take it! The Sega waitress bowed fiercely after hearing Jester's words.

Then Jester paid all the money under the surprised look of the service staff and left the Sega Direct Store.

It wasn't until they returned to the car that a strange expression appeared on Claudia's face. She asked Jester with some confusion: Why did you buy that game console when you knew it was not good?

Actually, it's nothing. Jester simply replied, his eyes moved to the car window again, looking at the scenery outside the window, he answered in a very calm tone, It's just a hobby of collecting, even if I don't Buy it. I will still buy it in the future, so I bought it by the way. I actually have an idea. I hope to retire in thirty years and then build a private game museum to record the entire game development process that I have participated in. , think about it, when I review my life in it, I will definitely feel a sense of accomplishment.

As he spoke, Jester's tone became strange.

It will not only collect the works of my company, but also the works or products of other companies, such as my rival companies, because I will defeat them, and the things of these companies will become better witnesses of my achievements. The spoils of war. Jester said something arrogant, but in Claudia's ears, there was no sense of arrogance at all. She felt that Jester was not telling her what he was going to do in the future. , but telling her what he had already done.

When she heard Jester's words, Claudia couldn't help but feel a little moved. She was wondering why the man in front of her, who was smaller than her, was so confident about his future. .

Go back to the hotel, let's have a drink and talk about the European branch. Jester looked away from the car window.

Okay. Claudia was not a talkative person, so she just nodded in agreement.

Jester and the team he brought this time booked the Four Seasons Hotel, which was recommended by Claudia after he consulted with her before. Although the price was high, it was indeed worth the money.

The Four Seasons Hotel London is located on Park Lane, adjacent to the famous Apsley Building, Buckingham Palace and St. James's Park. Moreover, there are also the Victoria Palace Theater and Selfridges department store nearby. This is basically the core of London.

Jester and Claudia came to the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel, ordered two glasses of red wine, and then found a secluded place to sit down.

I'm actually not responsible for the specific matter this time, because I don't know much about negotiations. My legal team will talk to you, no problem. After taking a sip of wine, Jester spoke first. After saying that, he paused again and said, But I really hope that we can officially cooperate.

Claudia smiled, one of her hands gently shook the wine glass in her hand with a very special and beautiful rhythm, but her eyes stared at Jester for a while.

Then, she said in a very calm tone: In fact, I rarely do things so risky, because I have known that caution can lead to success since I was a child, but I also know that to achieve success beyond my family, relying on caution will not work at all. It must be It’s a big risk.”

Jester smiled after hearing this, and he said somewhat self-deprecatingly: Am I the big risk you think I am?

Claudia's beautiful eyes were filled with brilliance. She smiled and did not deny it, but she also did not admit it. After taking a sip of red wine gracefully, she answered with a smile: It used to be.

It used to be? What does that mean? Not now? Jester raised his eyebrows after hearing this. He didn't understand what Claudia meant, so he frowned slightly again and said in a kind of way. asked in a questioning tone.

A charming smile once again appeared on Claudia's delicate face. She was about to answer, but at this moment, a phone rang, coming from her Hermès autumn limited edition bag. For a moment, in Jester's somewhat surprised gaze, he actually saw the beautiful woman in front of him take out a big, black, long and thick mobile phone from her exquisite bag.

Is there a mobile phone now? This was Jester's first thought when he saw the thing in Claudia's hand, and then it was too illegal for a beautiful woman to hold such a thing in her hand. and.

Hello?

Claudia answered the phone and just asked, then handed the mobile phone in her hand to Jester: I'm looking for you, someone from your company.

Nodding and thanking him, Jester took Claudia's mobile phone. Adam Edgar's voice came from the phone. Although he could hear it, it was not very clear.

Jace, I just received a call from the headquarters. Tamahide Yoshiro called back to the headquarters from Japan and told the headquarters that the little-known company called cap that you asked him to pay attention to is currently conducting large-scale operations in Japan. The advertising is also based on our previous promotional methods. It seems to be promoting a new game they have produced. I asked the employees in the company to see it. This is an excellent vertical scrolling flight shooting game, but From the moment the footage was released on TV commercials, it caused a huge stir.”

After Adam Edgar on the other end of the phone finished speaking, Jester fell into deep thought.

The smooth journey before did not make Jester underestimate the heroes of the world. In fact, he was always paying attention to his future opponents. This was a barbaric period in the video game industry. In this era, even if It used to be just a small company with less than ten game production staff, but once it produces a hot-selling game, it can immediately make countless money and become a giant in the industry.

For example, cap is a good example.

And this time, their famous work, 1942, a landmark work in the history of vertical scrolling flight shooting, is finally coming.

But his own Dawn was not ready either.

After thinking for a few minutes, Jester replied. His tone was very calm: I know. Then he hung up the phone and handed the heavy mobile phone back to Crowe. Dia.

But Claudia, who had been watching him, noticed that Jester became a little different after answering the phone.

Although his tone, demeanor, and eyes were still the same as before, there seemed to be no change at all.

But Claudia clearly felt a temperament from Jester that he did not have before. To be precise, it was a fighting spirit, the kind of determination that a hunter shows after seeing his prey. fighting spirit.
