Reborn Tycoon Rise

After shopping around, Xu Zhi returned to the booth of his Midea company. At this moment, many melon-eaters had gathered in the arcade area.

Two months ago, RB Taitung released an arcade game called Space Invaders, which instantly detonated the entire game market.

Like other industries, before Space Invaders, American games had always dominated the market. The first arcade game was the most famous PANG in history. Later, Atari released several well-known games in succession, including Joe The gang leader's Brick Breaker, once the sound is turned on, is invincible.

But most of these games in the United States are sports games, which are also the most intuitive applications of video games. "Space Invaders" moves away from the familiar sports themes and brings players more fantasy content. Players control moving turrets to bombard the advancing fleet of alien invaders. The enemy's advance is slow and relentless: when they reach the player's territory, the player loses a life. A skilled player can fight off several waves of enemies, but each time a new round begins, they will advance faster and faster and strike back harder. Even the best arcade masters will eventually succumb to the endless aliens. This is a game with no concept of victory. The key is to use one coin to squeeze longer game time and obtain higher scores.

At the same time, Space Invaders is also the ancestor of 2D shooting games. In just 2 months, more than 20,000 Space Invaders arcade machines have been introduced in the United States. Countless people are waiting in line at various movie theaters and small supermarkets. Among them The huge profits have made all companies jealous. According to some experts, Taidong Company's net profit in a month can exceed 10 million US dollars just from this game.

Of course, dealers who have obtained the general distribution qualification of this game will also rise to the sky and make a lot of money. Therefore, at the electronics exhibition, many dealers from all over the United States are constantly looking for new targets in the game area.

Next door to Midea Electronics, Sega and Atari also brought their own new games. Xu Zhi didn't ask about the names, but Xu Zhi also took a look. The style was completely imitated from Space Invaders, but from aliens. The spaceship was replaced by an alien Zerg. Among them, Atari was very creative. It fixed the position of the personnel and the direction rod was used to control the direction of the bullet route. This is not a bad invention.

Shooting games are always the favorite of passionate men, but women don't like them very much. Under Lin Siqi's hook, several blond and blue-eyed girls came to Midea's exhibition hall to play Xiangjiang cubes and greedy snakes.

Tom is a small gambling machine supplier in Las Vegas. In his city, the most important source of income is the countless casino tourists from all over the world. And how to attract tourists depends on various newly developed machines every year. Different games and a variety of different gambling machines.

In order to study the psychology of customers, major casinos have joined forces and hired psychology professors from top universities in each state to study together: how to maximize the passion of customers and let them lose themselves in joy.

The professors also spared no effort and invented several methods with excellent results: providing high-purity oxygen (not particularly concentrated, but slightly refreshing) to the entire casino so that customers will not be limited by fatigue.

Every moment, when a customer makes a big fortune, celebration sounds will be heard everywhere in the casino, letting everyone know that someone is constantly winning money every moment. As long as you work hard, you will soon win. I can take my turn.

The slot machines at some casinos can overwhelm you—over a hundred flashing lights, filled with the sound of simulated coin jingling. The names of these machines are very tempting: King Mista, Rich Devil, Cash Fantasy, Wizard of Oz and many more.

…

But even so, there is a problem that gives all bosses a headache: how to make boring women not boring.

Most people bring their spouses or girlfriends with them when they come to the casino. After all, on the surface, we are here for a trip, and gambling is just a side trip.

But most of the games in the casino are group activities. A group of people get together and you lose and I win. This is the second strongest physiological stimulation for men.

However, for most women, this kind of activity is not very friendly. They don't like yelling and would rather play more quiet games.

The casino also tried its best to provide them with such an environment. This was the original purpose of slot machines, but no one could have imagined that this thing would be so attractive to men.

Although a new business opportunity was unexpectedly discovered, the casino owners' hearts were bleeding as they watched a group of players who were unwilling to leave being dragged away by their female companions.

Therefore, how to allow women to play games quietly has become a key concern of casino owners: they are not required to make too much money from them, as long as they are willing to be quiet.

Tom walked around the game area and was quite disappointed. Almost all the games imitated the shooting genre of Space Invaders. However, due to time constraints and to avoid copyright infringement, several well-known game companies made games. It's not satisfying.

In fact, this is also a normal phenomenon. The first idea can easily shock the world, but if the latecomers have no new ideas, it will be difficult for them to be accepted.

Tom found that his female companions were missing. Although there was a mobile phone in this era, not everyone could afford it. He spent a lot of time in the exhibition before standing at the booth of a small company called Midea. Several people were found.

"It's time for us to go, we're going to eat!" Tom said as he walked up to a few people.

One of the girls looked back at Tom and said, "We're not hungry. You go ahead and bring us some burgers later."

"You said you were very hungry just now!" Tom frowned and looked at the game in front of him. Because the exhibition hall is not big, there are only a few machines, and several girls can only grab one machine. One girl is playing, and the other two not only watch it with interest, but also keep giving various instructions: quickly change the position and put it on the right …

After watching it for a while, Tom also saw some tricks. This is a very strange game:

At the top of the screen, tiles of different shapes composed of small squares fall one after another from the top of the screen. The player adjusts the position and direction of the tiles so that they form one or more complete pieces at the bottom of the screen. These complete bars will disappear immediately to make room for the newly fallen tiles, and at the same time, the player will be rewarded with points. The blocks that have not been eliminated continue to pile up. Once they reach the top of the screen, the player loses and the game ends.

And there seem to be some special settings. If you can eliminate two lines at a time, the score you get will be four times that of one time, three lines will be 9 times, and the highest four lines will be 16 times. This setting will tempt you. Players take risks by stacking up the bottom blocks, but there are dangers if you don't pay attention. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into crisis.

Tom, who is keen on business opportunities, immediately discovered the business opportunities in this. This is the game that major casinos dream of. It is relatively gentle and extremely time-consuming. Once introduced, it will definitely attract women who accompany their boyfriends or husbands to the casino and make them feel at ease. While playing games, you don’t have to worry about your man’s addiction.
