Chapter 1418 A String of Shining Game Memories

Yin Jun had long known that Tomohiro Nakata's trip to Japan would definitely be a success.

So while he was filming in May, when he had a rest at night, he had already prepared a heavy gift for Kirin Game Company.

It was also Yin Jun’s last gift to Kirin Games in the era of game consoles.

Kirin Games is currently actively developing the "Street Fighter" game, and the follow-up "The King of Fighters" is also slowly in progress.

With their manpower configuration, after freeing up their hands from Gameboy, they should have more ability to develop new games.

Especially those games that are full of creativity and have huge benefits.

In the previous life of the 1980s and 1990s, the world's video games were basically dominated by Japanese companies.

The electronic game arcades that have become popular in the streets and alleys of mainland China are all supported by Japanese game motherboards.

These video game arcades once became a hotbed of juvenile crime and a place where violence was vented. Therefore, after the mid-to-late 1990s, various parts of the country began to severely crack down on these video game arcades.

Coupled with the rise of computer games and PS game consoles at that time, these electronic game arcades gradually became lonely and withdrew from the stage of history.

After 2000, they can basically only be seen in some towns.

But people who have experienced that era will recall that in that era when entertainment was lacking, we still had such a fun way to play games, and it was also a very interesting experience.

Yin Jun has played these video games. They were given to him by a kind person. His son no longer plays the Little Overlord game console, as well as many game cartridges.

The dean's aunt allows the children to play once a week. Yin Jun is not an activist, but he has been practicing for so many years, so he is naturally familiar with many games.

He has created most of the most classic games, but there are still many classic games that he has not had time to come up with.

Now is the time to take them all out.

Because after this, Yin Jun will no longer care about video game consoles.

Kirin Game Company will become a complete cash flow supply company, and then after ten years, it will gradually transform into a computer game company. After another ten years, it will become the last game company form that Yin Jun can master - a mobile game company. .

Doing the math, a company like this can master the market trends for about 40 years, which is actually a pretty good industry.

At least compared to industry, there are many ways to make money.

Although industry is the lifeblood of the country, its shortcomings such as high investment, difficult access, low returns, and slow cycle dictate that it can only continue to develop with state support.

Even though there are so many heavy industry companies abroad, they are all joint-stock companies and do not belong to the state. But which country does not have policies to support heavy industry companies?

Which country's government has not targeted these heavy industry companies with its big orders?

For example, the most famous big money loser - Airbus.

This company in the EU requires tens of billions of subsidies every year and loses more than ten billions of dollars, precisely because it is the only company that can compete with the American Boeing Company, and it is also the only airline that can produce large civilian aircraft.

If there were no Airbus, the lifeline of civil aviation in Europe would be controlled by the Americans. This is unacceptable.

So even if it suffers huge losses every year, the EU is still gritting its teeth and persisting.

If it were replaced by heavy industry companies in each country, it would actually be the same.

Any country with some ambitions will not give up heavy industry companies, even if they are not making money or even if they are losing money, they cannot do without them.

Naturally, Yin Jun could not undertake such an arduous task.

Because he is not from a related major, and even with this kind of professional knowledge, he cannot make changes to the overall system by himself.

What I am doing now is very good, and I can control it and its development direction.

If there are no big surprises, within the next 40 years, Kirin Game Company will be able to provide the parent company with a net profit of at least US$500 million every year.

The first step Yin Jun needs to do now is to increase their security for the next ten years.

Planning a game is much simpler than writing a script or a comic setting.

A few years ago, Yin Jun wrote the least about games.

Usually it's just a name.

Because every time he read that name, Yin Jun could think of how he fought to pass the level, and then he figured out the overall details.

Yin Jun uses several pieces of paper every day to write down the characters, settings, and plot of the game. It usually takes up to two nights to complete a game.

The games produced by Yin Jun include almost all future classic categories.

The first one is an adventure game.

Although "Super Mario Bros." is the originator of this type of game and has endured for a long time, there is actually another game in Japan that can almost keep pace with it for more than ten years. .

This is "Celebrity Takahashi - MapleStory", which is referred to as "MapleStory" in our country.

The same character goes on an adventure to pass the level, but the style of "MapleStory" is more varied and the difficulty is higher.

There is also "island" in the name, and the floating islands that appear inside are one of its major features.

In the second half of the levels, there are a lot of battle scenes, which are more tense and more precise in control than in "Super Mario Bros."

Therefore, many people are accustomed to playing the simple version of "Super Mario Bros." and want to play the more difficult version of "MapleStory."

Kirin Game Company has previous experience in designing "Super Mario Bros.", so the design difficulty of "MapleStory" will naturally be much lower.

Basically, these two are enough for the adventure category.

In the second category, Yin Jun chose fighting games.

The first game is "Three Kingdoms".

This game, in which a team composed of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, fought all the way from Bowangpo to Cao Cao's decisive battle on Huarong Road, became popular among many Chinese game fans in the 1990s.

Yin Jun first played this game in the arcade. Several elder brothers in the orphanage saved some money and secretly took Yin Jun out on their days off. Everyone would visit the game arcade from time to time.

Because the arcade version of "Three Kingdoms" can be played by three players at the same time, it is very interesting and more team spirit for everyone to work together.

Yin Jun remembered that his favorite thing was to pick up the fallen chicken legs, so that he could replenish his blood and kill Cao Jun more fiercely.

The second game is "Famous General".

This game is similar to "Three Kingdoms", but it takes place in the Western world, which gives people a different choice.

Generally speaking, it has many similarities with "Three Kingdoms", but its advantage is that it incorporates many modern weapons and fighting methods, which makes it unique.

Therefore, the popularity of "Famous Generals" is no less than that of "Three Kingdoms".

The third game is "Double Dragon".

Compared with the previous two games, the fighting scenes and intensity of "Double Dragon" are not good at all.

But its structure is simple, and it has a purely urban background. Two men like Stallone join forces to deal with the enemy in a pass mode, which is very suitable for slightly younger gamers.

Therefore, it is particularly popular among children aged 8-15 years old. For example, Yin Jun likes this game very much, so he decided to make it.

The third category is simpler and is called casual games.

It is "Mahjong".

Don't underestimate this "Mahjong" game against machines, it can be extended to dozens of versions.

Normal casual version, beauty battle version, high-difficulty challenge version... there are many ways to play, there is no problem.

Mahjong is not only popular in China, but also in Japan and South Korea. It is also known as the quintessence of the country. There are mahjong parlors everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Asian game fans alone are enough to support the market for the game "Mahjong".

The fourth category is air combat barrage games.

The most representative one here is "Thunder and Lightning".

Players control the aircraft and constantly fly in the starry sky. By destroying enemy aircraft, large and small, they can obtain various firepower-enhancing props to increase their own power.

What's more important is actually dodging enemy bullets and missiles.

Sometimes dodging is even more important than you firing.

Because as long as you are alive, you will have everything.

But in the face of bullets and missiles all over the sky, how easy is it to survive?

However, anyone who can avoid the fatal threat with strength will naturally be able to taste the joy of victory in defeating the big devil.

This is also what makes "Thunder and Lightning" very attractive.

The fifth category is casual games.

There are many games here, but Yin Jun has only played the most classic one.

It's "Harvest Moon."

"Harvest Story" cannot be said to have created a precedent for business simulation, but it is the most popular among business simulation games and the most suitable for all ages.

Until 2016, new versions of "Harvest Moon" were being released, which shows how popular it is.

When you play this game, even if you are 30 years old, you will not feel childish.

I just feel that "Harvest Moon" is full of childlike fun, and it also has a very safe and comfortable feeling when playing. There is no tension and it is very relaxing.

A game that can last forever must be outstanding, so Yin Jun must develop it.

The sixth category is role-playing games.

There is no doubt that the most popular role-playing game is "Pokemon".

Legend has it that this was the game that saved all of Nintendo after the decline of Super Mario Bros.

If "Pokemon" hadn't come out and attracted so many players to play, I'm afraid we wouldn't have seen the existence of Nintendo.

This longevity game, which still released a new version in 2016, has set eight Guinness World Records.

"Pokemon" has sold 245 million copies, a record that can only be surpassed by "Super Mario Bros."

And one of our well-known animated characters - Pikachu, is one of the monsters in it, and it is also the most famous one!

Because the monsters in it are so popular, since the animation started in 1997, until 2020, this group of monsters are still fighting on the TV screen, which is rare.

…

There are a total of 8 games in these six categories several times, which represent that glorious era of electronic games.

Qilin Game Company holds them like eight cornucopias, which will surely shock the entire gaming world.

Yin Jun doesn't have to worry about taking them out in advance, whether future video games will lack rising stars and fall into loneliness.

Because human intelligence is unimaginable.

Every time you think this is the peak, it will break through again.

The young man hopes that with the stimulation of so many classic games, the video game industry will usher in another brilliant bloom, which will be the happiest thing!
