Chapter 203 No One Can Have Trouble with Money. First Update

16-bit, this is no longer a new term.

At least Japan Electric has entered the 16-bit game console era ahead of schedule, and it also promoted it vigorously last year.

But no matter what, it can't achieve the effect of Sega's promotion.

Later, many magazines and game companies concluded that this was attributed to the six games that were released in one go, which should be real games at that time.

It was like six powerful hunters encircling NGS, completely trapping the beast NGS to death.

The advertisement released by Sega was very sudden.

Even many people at Sega didn't know about it.

There were some rumors, but they were not taken seriously.

After all, Sega's previous game consoles had only the same performance even if they were improved.

But this time there seems to be something different.

This is not just the judgment of industry insiders, but also the judgment of many players.

First up is Mega Man, which has been completely upgraded.

This is the second work.

In the first film, Mega Man could only be regarded as a slightly clear image of the little blue man.

The second part is so clear that it’s ridiculous.

At the entrance of a video game store in Japan, a child stared blankly at the Sega advertisement scrolling on the TV, and then glanced at the NGS game console that was placed in the most conspicuous position not far away.

"Boss, do you have this game console?"

Originally, this child happily used the money he saved to buy a new box of NGS cassettes.

However, when he saw Sega's advertisement, he suddenly felt that the games on NGS seemed a bit boring.

The visual impact brings such a strong feeling to a child that it even exceeds the fun of the game itself.

Just like the gap between the Bronze Age and the Steam Age.

"Oh? You're not the first kid to ask about this game console, but it's a pity that this one hasn't arrived yet."

"Huh? How long will it take to wait?"

"Here, look at the date on the advertisement, it will be officially released in February."

February, now it’s January, it’s actually just a matter of waiting a few more days.

The child was calculating carefully in his mind.

Moreover, if you start saving pocket money now, you may not be able to afford it directly in a month, but you can still collect more than enough money!

The current price of NGS cassettes is generally around 5,000 yen, and the more expensive Dragon Quest can cost as much as 10,000 yen.

The advertised price of this Sega game console is 20,000 yen.

This is not expensive at all in the eyes of the Japanese today.

Japan is now the richest country.

Seeing the child's pondering expression, the store manager said with a smile: "Kid, actually you can still buy NGS games now. The games on NGS are more fun."

"Ah? Really?"

"Yes, yes, have you seen that Mega Man? There is a first work on NGS. This work is very fun!"

The store manager said as he took down a Mega Man cassette from the shelf nearby.

"And let me tell you, don't tell anyone else. This cassette is currently only selling for 2,000 yen, which is almost the cost price. I will only sell it to you."

The child blinked and seemed to start to feel a little excited after hearing the boss's recommendation.

Just now he saw the Mega Man picture on the scrolling advertisement.

The smooth movements, the clear scenes and characters all fascinated him.

Could it be said that the Mega Man on NGS is not much worse than this?

"Hey kid, cover your wallet, this old bastard knows how to cheat kids out of their money every day."

At this moment, the store door opened and a young man in his twenties walked in.

When the store manager heard this, his face suddenly darkened.

"You guy, you keep ruining my good things all day long!"

"Boss, you are a big bad guy!"

The child immediately ran out of the video game store angrily and swore he would never buy anything in this store again.

"Come on, store manager, don't you think it would be unsound to lie to a child?"

The store manager blushed: "How can you call it a lie? The games on NGS are also very fun. Playing games is fun enough."

"Well, I don't deny it, but you shouldn't compare it to Mega Man. And do you believe it? As soon as the screen of Sega's new game console came out, NGS immediately seemed like an antique."

As the young man talked, he looked at the scrolling advertisements on the TV and felt longing for it.

It's different, it's really different.

The picture may not represent everything, but the feeling when this kind of picture that spans the ages appears is still a bit shocking.

Originally, he was also a staunch NGS player. He didn't care at all about Sega's things before. Even if he later learned that several games performed better on the Sega Mark console, he felt that it was just a little improvement.

But now, can this picture be improved a little bit? It's like replacing a shotgun with a cannon, right?

Now he doesn't even feel good about playing the NGS game console. If it weren't for Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, two games that are really fun, he would probably have the urge to sell the NGS game console now.

…

"Teacher Zuo Zhen, you are so biased. You can obviously make such excellent game graphics, but why did you only release those two crazy series with bad graphics at the launch of our game console?"

At the same time, in Zuozhen's office, he was answering a call from the head of Japan Electric's game development department.

The phone call was full of dissatisfaction.

Why?

We were obviously the ones who came first.

In the development of 16-bit home computers, their Japanese electrical appliances indeed have a first-mover advantage.

But the gap between my first game and Sega's 16-bit game console is really huge.

Is this teacher Zuo Zhen a little too biased?

How much benefit has Sega given you?

We can give you a share of whatever amount you want!

By the way, I heard that you are not married yet, right?

I'll arrange it for you. Our Japanese electronics industry is larger than Sega's, and the media is involved. Finding you a wife is no problem, and a lover is no problem either.

As long as you mention it, our Japanese electrical appliances are definitely more generous than that small company Sega!

Regarding the complaint from the person in charge, Zuo Zhen appeased him a little.

Sega is obviously developing better now, and no one will struggle with money. As for Japan Electric, the performance of their own game consoles is actually not good.

It's said to be 16-bit, but it's more like an advanced version of 8-bit.

The picture quality will be better, but the performance is still unsatisfactory. If Sega MD hadn't come out, Japan Electric's PCE would definitely be a better choice, but now Zuo Zhen will definitely choose Sega first.

The person in charge of Japanese Electrical Appliances knows this himself, but he still has to give it a try. What if Zuo Zhen is too soft-hearted and agrees to make games for himself?

However, Zuo Zhen is not ready to let go, and can only promise to make them an advanced version of eight-bit games in Zuo Zhen’s Memory. As for real 16-bit games, I’m sorry, I can only choose Sega.

PS: Sorry readers, I encountered a short pause after entering the new volume in the past two days. After thinking about the outline for a long time, it felt inappropriate, so I made a lot of temporary adjustments. At the same time, I am about to enter a new month, so I will use the new With the beginning of a volume, the era of eight-bit computers has come to an end. We will resume the rhythm of updating 10,000 words per day and continue to increase the amount of updates.
