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

After playing games with other students this time, Ma Baocai has become the most powerful person in the hearts of these children.

I heard that he is from China.

What kind of country is that? Never heard of it before.

A country that uses computers so easily must be very powerful!

With Ma Baocai's ability to use computers demonstrated in front of them, these children have begun to fill their brains with all kinds of information about China.

Curiosity about China also began to take root at this moment.

Of course, they will not let go of the fun of the current game.

And they also learned from Ma Baocai that he didn't just have Contra, he had several other games.

Later, he will install other games on this computer so that everyone can play these games.

The children cheered, but the teacher who was still worried about Ma Baocai was very confused.

Yesterday, Ma Baocai looked glum and unable to communicate with other students.

And early this morning it seemed that he had become the most popular kid.

As expected, the world of children is difficult to understand.

Obviously their language doesn't seem to be very fluent.

But this is also a good thing. He no longer has to worry about anything happening to Ma Bao.

…

At the same time, in Japan, billboards in some popular areas were removed and replaced by brand new billboards.

‘The latest masterpiece from NGS, the world’s most popular game console, is about to be released: Fire Emblem, Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light. ’

On the huge billboard, the image of a prince is the most prominent.

At the same time, the prince was protected by the image of a princess and a general, who looked quite imposing.

For adults, this kind of billboard is not very attractive. Today is the world of television, and most of the games are played by children.

And those kids on the road were very honest.

They all stood there and stared blankly at the huge billboard, as if this was the first time they had seen such a thing.

Just last year, Dragon Quest was born.

A series of keywords such as princess, prince, brave and so on have become the most discussed things among children.

Fire Emblem, this sounds very interesting!

And when they got home, the children clamored to their parents that they wanted to buy the Fire Emblem game, and they really wanted to play it.

At this moment, just a Dragon Quest or The Legend of Zelda simply cannot satisfy them.

They are also eager to play more games like this.

Parents are also a little helpless and can only agree to their children's request.

Fortunately, life is quite prosperous now. I just bought a game and sprinkled it with water.

Just make the kids happy.

However, some parents are also interested in this game.

This includes a manager from a game development company.

Kelvin Entertainment.

The next day, the first thing he did when he came to the company was to summon company management to ask who developed the Fire Emblem game and why NGS was promoting it so hard.

This kind of publicity is comparable to the treatment of ordinary large game companies.

However, the information they received was that the company developing the game was unknown.

"The name of the company is Real Games? It comes from China? Have you heard of this company?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Don't talk about this company. We don't even know much about China. There doesn't seem to be a game market there yet."

"However, it is a big country. I heard that it has a large population. It is estimated that it will become a key game market sooner or later."

"This is indeed possible, but this is the first time I have heard of a Chinese game company."

"Does this company develop other games?"

"Yes, please take a look."

One of them took out several pieces of information.

It records the games developed at the beginning of the real game.

"There are only three models? And these three models were all released before the company was established? What the hell is going on?"

The people in this company are very strange.

How come such a company is so valued by NGS?

Could this be the game development studio branch set up by NGS in China?

But NGS itself has not disclosed this news, and it probably isn't.

"Don't underestimate this game company. Although they only released three games, two of them sold millions last year."

"???Are you kidding?"

"Of course I haven't. How about we take a look at these three games?"

"Okay, let's take a look first."

The management directly got an NGS game console in the office, and then brought a box of Contra, Squirrel Wars and Mega Man cartridges.

What surprised them was that many employees in their company owned these three games.

But they had not noticed this before.

It can only be said that this company started too fast. In one year, it had three titles with very good sales. Other game companies probably didn’t realize what was going on.

Soon all the managers in the office had played three games.

Then there was silence in the conference room.

"This game company has something good. They have already mastered side-scrolling games. I think Squirrel Fight is more fun than last year's Super Mario."

"But I think Super Mario is more interesting. You see, Super Mario has a lot of hidden fun. This game is very simple. Just play it all the way through. There is not much fun in exploring."

"After all, it is a just-starting game company. It is quite remarkable to be able to achieve this level."

"Indeed, the Mega Man released later was significantly improved. It took advantage of the optional levels of Squirrel War, and at the same time innovatively created a restraint system. This producer is a genius."

"Not only is he a genius, but I also just found out that when this producer first made Contra and Squirrel Wars, he almost did it all by himself."

"What? No?"

"This is a bit impressive. It seems that this person really has the talent to make side-scrolling games."

"However, this person suddenly turned his head to create a completely new type of game, and called it SRPG. Isn't this a step too big?"

"It seems...that's indeed the case."

"But it's hard to say now. A person who can make two million-selling games in a row must have some skills."

"First keep an eye on this game company and see how the sales of this new type of game they released are going."

"President You means..."

"If the results are good, we can follow up in time. The sooner we get involved in new types of games, the more money we can make."

"That makes sense..."
