Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

Watching these students having a great time, Ma Bao found these scenes boring.

This was so different from the games he had played.

A single Contra can kill countless people in this game instantly.

Not to mention the Squirrel Wars and Mega Man later on.

In the evening, when Ma Bao got home, he didn't immediately get in front of the game console to play games like before. Instead, he found the small box under his bed.

Inside are the things he brought here specially from home.

These are considered his treasures.

Among them were five floppy disks with built-in games.

Contra, Squirrel Wars, Mega Man.

In addition to these three games, there are also a collection of board and card games and an enhanced version of the Brick Arkanoid game.

The next day, he came to school earlier than before. Then he went straight to his classroom and came to the computer at the back of the classroom.

The computer is shut down at this time.

He thought he should be the first to come, but he didn't expect that there were two children who came earlier than him.

These two children obviously couldn't forget the game after playing it on the computer yesterday, so they chose to come to school early in the morning to play it first.

The original intention of the school was to allow these children to be familiar with the new era technology of computers in advance, but now these children still want to use it to play games.

The two students were surprised to see that Ma Bao had just arrived. They chatted a lot of English. Ma Bao could barely understand the other party's greetings such as good morning, but he couldn't understand the rest at all.

He also responded, then watched the two children scratching their heads in front of the computer and then sat calmly in front of the computer.

When the two children saw Ma Baocai's actions, they focused their attention on Ma Baocai, wanting to see what Ma Baocai wanted to do.

"LOOK"

Ma Baocai spoke using the simple vocabulary he had learned, and then started the computer skillfully.

For him, using computers has long been a daily routine.

Even under Zuo Zhen's guidance, he could even do some basic programming.

It is no longer a problem to say hello world in the programming interface.

As for starting the computer, there was no problem. He quickly completed the steps to start the computer.

This series of actions soon attracted exclamations from the two children.

It is difficult for them to imagine that a very silent foreign child can operate such high technology so skillfully.

This was not over yet. Ma Bao put the floppy disk he brought over into the computer, then ran the installation program and successfully started Contra.

After doing all this, Ma Bao looked back at the two of them, and then waved to one of the children.

The child's eyes were already filled with curiosity. When he saw Ma Bao, he waved and pointed to himself to make sure he was looking for him.

Ma Baocai nodded.

Although verbal communication is inconvenient, body language is the same no matter where you are.

The child came to sit down in front of Ma Baocai honestly, and then watched Ma Baocai's next operation.

Ma Baocai started Contra. A familiar melody and explosion sound sounded, and the Contra interface appeared.

"play?"

Ma Bao then asked.

"Ohoh, OK OK!"

The child may not understand what Ma Baocai is doing.

But when he saw the pixel images appearing on the screen, he became happy.

Pixel graphics are now basically equivalent to video games.

They came here early this morning just to play games.

But I didn't expect that this game looked completely different from the games I had played before.

It seems that it was a game created by the foreigner Ma Baocai.

The children didn't think much about it. They were very happy after seeing the video games they liked to play appear. The child behind him was now staring at the screen with his neck stretched out.

On the screen, two characters, one red and one blue, appear.

Ma Bao didn't know how to explain to others, so he simply controlled a character to give the child a hint.

Move, jump and shoot.

The next step is to let the child try it himself.

When the child moves for the first time, fires for the first time, defeats the enemy for the first time, and defeats the BOSS for the first time.

The child felt as if a new world had been opened to him.

There are a lot of tough guy movies currently popular in the UK, led by First Blood.

When this game was originally designed, it actually referred to First Blood. When the game screen was presented, the intimacy was very strong.

And this time it’s not a movie you can just watch, but a movie you can directly fight against the enemy... Oh no, a game!

Did you see that the game you played yesterday was not good, and this... is the game!

Ma Bao only had a little bit of pride and a sense of superiority.

He hadn't felt this good in days.

Before, he had been immersed in his own little world and had a difficult life.

I am alone in this school with no one to talk to.

He can't always go to his father's friend and teacher.

The age gap was too big, so the teacher could only enlighten Ma Baocai from an adult perspective.

They always say just hold on and it will be fine, or some other similar words.

Ma Baocai really couldn't adapt to such comforting words.

But now, Ma Bao finally felt relaxed.

At this time, in front of this child, Ma Baocai has become an enigmatic peer.

He knew how to use a computer, and suddenly created a super fun game for them, which immediately boosted their admiration points.

"im mark"

"im littlejohn"

The two children took the initiative to introduce themselves.

They also knew that Ma Baocai probably wasn't familiar with their language.

They had no interest in Ma Baocai before. They all had their own small circles. If a new classmate suddenly arrived and did not take the initiative to socialize, then Ma Baocai would probably be completely isolated.

Improvement was not possible until Ma Bao learned to communicate.

And by then I will probably have to wait for junior high school and high school.

But now, because of the emergence of video games, it seems that this pace has been accelerated.

Even without verbal communication, several children began to understand and become familiar with each other through video games.

"im Ma Baocai"

"Nestumi Rabbit"

A friendship seemed to be established.

Then Ma Bao continued to play Contra with his two children.

Not long after, children came to the classroom one after another.

They also noticed the movement at the back of the classroom, and they all leaned over to take a look, and then saw a brand new game appear on the computer.

As time goes by, more and more children gather in front of the computer.

There were even many children from other classes, craning their necks to look at the computer.
