Stepping into the exhibition hall in New York, Gates was excited.

Finally here!

Although Apple has already discounted points, this did not affect the launch event the next day.

Because the Xbox game industry is not independent and has nothing to do with gamers.

And the next day is the opening of the game festival.

Now that the developer conference has been opened by Catherine, Catherine simply named the exhibition "electnonic-ainmet-expo/exposition", or e3 for short. If a simpler name is used, it would be ---e3.

After all, this is an event for gamers.

But on the other side, the game-developens-conlence, also known as the Game Developers Conference, is open to all game developers, and this "developer" does not just refer to game manufacturers. If it is an individual game developer or private

Game development groups can also come in.

gdc and e3 are different. e3 faces gamers and gives these players a fresh experience. This is very necessary and has a strong commercial flavor. The game developers conference gdc places more emphasis on technical display and

e3 is different.

"Jobs!"

At this time, his friend was waiting for him there. As soon as Jobs heard the voice, he ran over excitedly: "Bill!"

"The exhibition hasn't started yet?" It has ten minutes to start.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the venue opened on time, but the time has not yet arrived.

Even so, the venue was already full of people, and the enthusiasm of the players was very high.

"Jobs, you guys...can we also make a game?" Gates suddenly asked.

"Let's make a game?"

Jobs was thoughtful.

(Yes, I am learning C language recently. This magical language is very simple."

"Ah, I've heard that too, but this language seems to be only one-seventh as efficient as assembly language, sometimes even lower... Although some games today use C language, but like fighting games,

Most of the most popular games are written in assembly. Jobs was a little worried about this.

Yes, C language is very simple and convenient, but compared to assembly language, the execution efficiency of C language is really not good.

In the current game world, there are probably side-scrolling games, role-playing games, sports games and fighting games. Among them, the C language is most widely used in role-playing games that do not have such high requirements for efficiency, and fighting games

It is the least used type of game in C language.

To some extent, Jobs' concerns are quite reasonable, because the most popular games in the world right now are fighting games.

Especially Street Fighter.

The "Street Fighter" released in conjunction with the comic is very popular among players. No matter who they are, they all like this game very much. Almost everyone who has played video games has played the game "Street Fighter".

This is no exaggeration.

And in second place is "Super Mario".

"Street Fighter" was gradually developed after the arcade competition, and "Super Mario" was the first game of Cannon Prison. It can be supported until now and is already very powerful. However, in "Popular Software", ranking

The top game on the seventh game list is still "Super Mario", while "Street Fighter" can only be ranked third. As for the second place, it is "Contra".

"Can we make RPG games?" Gates asked.

ah.

．

If that's the case, it would be a problem, but as for RPGs, they are all cartridge games, so they are very expensive, right?"

R-type role-playing games are usually games with long plots. Most of the time, they are adventure games similar to magic war chess. Such games are a test for game capacity. Of course, with the advent of technology,

With the development, the capacity of current cassettes has reached Peng, which is already the upper limit of the capacity that the gun can read.

But if it is a r-type game, usually only cassettes can be used as media, because tapes cannot store game players' saves.

Because of this, RPG games are also called "aristocratic games." This is because the cost of such games is too high.

For the same reason, the RPG game market is not too hot. Compared with current fighting games, the gap is too big. However, the RPG market has always been very stable and has an objective user base - these people are from

It was cultivated during the Magic Banner Era.

, I want to think about how we should make coffee.

"Jobs thought seriously.

"What kind of game should we make?" Gates is also thinking hard.

"The best-selling game so far is Super Mario. As of this month, it has sold more than 10 million copies, which is more than the Xbox game console."

After hearing Jobs' analysis, Gates nodded.

Indeed, this "Super Mario" is really amazing. The number of games sold exceeds the number of Xbox game consoles, which is really scary.

"Making this kind of game should be easy to get popular..." Jobs shook his head: "But wouldn't it be too boring? We should make a game that can make everyone laugh.

Very good."

"Ah, but the current game is definitely not good. Gates also shook his head. After all, the two of them are just students - they still have at least ten years before they become successful.

"It's open!"

At this time, the venue finally opened, and the two of them didn't care what to say, they just followed the people in line and entered the venue.

As soon as they entered the venue, the two of them felt a different atmosphere.

The floor of the hall is made of smooth marble, and the main color of the entire exhibition hall is "white". Various posters are posted on the walls of the exhibition hall. The picture of Chunli raising her legs is placed in the most eye-catching position.

This powerful female Yingya can be said to be the most popular heroine in the game. Because of the hot sales of "The Legend of Chun-Li", Chun-Li's fame has also become the highest in the "Street Fighter" game.

In this country, there is a tradition of worshiping superheroes, and the medium of fantasy has obviously helped them realize this.

"Look, that's the second generation of "Contra"!"

A player next to him suddenly saw the picture on the large LED screen in the distance.

"Is this the big screen of LED lights?"

Although New York International Airport already has such a screen, it is still far behind the one at the venue.

And now, the second generation game screen of "Contra" is playing on this screen.

"Let's go take a look!"

The two walked over together.

The familiar Contra music was playing, and both of their emotions were aroused.

Bill.

Razor and Lance.

Bean holds a gun spraying red bullets and moves forward. These two tough guy protagonists are undoubtedly the favorites of Gates and Jobs.

"In the second generation of "Contra", we will adopt a branching route to play the game, and different choices will also affect the final ending..."

The game commentator next to you is introducing this game to everyone. Although it is also introduced in "Popular Software", it is far less detailed than here. "The second generation of "Contra" will enrich the plot, and everyone can see various

Character dialogue, of course, if you like hearty battles,

You can also choose not to read the plot when you enter the game. However, don't underestimate these plots. Sometimes, the boss's weaknesses and extra lives are in these plots, and these plots are rich and colorful.

, I believe everyone will love our game.”

, the maximum capacity of Peng, coupled with the increasingly higher craftsmanship level, it is not too much to be able to achieve the point where "Contra" is now. This second generation of "Contra" can be said to be

Exploring all the potential of RPGs.

After all, it is their own company's product, and they also know the performance of the machine very well. "I remember Volkswagen Software said that they originally wanted to add store system and character attribute system. Unfortunately, 8-bit machines can only do this.

"

The lack of functionality is something that Catherine has always complained about.

They bought two "Contra" cassettes on the spot, and the two of them left.

"Gates, how about we make a game like this?"

Jobs seemed to think that games like "Contra" were pretty good.

"Maybe we should change the name?" Gates seemed to agree: "Like Metal Slug?"

"Maybe it should be more popular. How about Metal Crisis? Maybe Metal Gear Solid?"

The word alloy sounds quite fashionable, and it has a good feeling when used.

"I think our game should have a little more uniqueness," Jobs was thinking.

"How about we allow players to drive tanks and fly planes?" Gates said.

"Yeah, but this idea is too easy to be copied. We need to make it unique, just like the Apple icon."

Jobs seemed to think Apple's logo was pretty good.

"For example?" "We can make the story more humorous. You see, it feels like a DreamWorks."

Nowadays, American cartoon characters are all realistic, only DreamWorks is slightly more realistic.

'q',some.

"We will succeed!"

The two exchanged a look, and they had decided to do something meaningful this summer vacation.
