Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 220 Is this some kind of magic?

   "Sir, this is the second-generation light gun produced by the Japanese company. It is definitely a toy that children will like very much."

   In front of a 40-inch TV, the employee was busy debugging.

The   light guns were also products that arrived just two days ago. After they arrived, they were temporarily pulled over by the employees of Youxing Electronic Entertainment for training, and then they began to be sold on the shelves.

   This is actually quite nervous for their employees.

   Of course, the most stressful thing is not how complicated the machine itself is, but the fact that these employees often come to play with this thing inadvertently.

   This forced the manager of the department store here to order that it must be turned off at ordinary times, and only turn on the TV when the user is interested in buying, which curbs the momentum of the gang of shop assistants to indulge.

  After debugging, the clerk handed the light gun to the child.

   And the child has already started eagerly holding the light gun at each position and starting to pull the trigger.

   However, the expected scene of firing bullets did not appear, not even infrared light.

   The father frowned in confusion.

  You don't even have the ability to fire bullets and infrared rays. How dare you sell this toy for $199? Who gave you the courage?

   However, as the TV gradually turned on, a bad dog appeared from the screen, and then jumped into the grass in front of the screen.

   In the red and white machine, the picture quality and gameplay of playing ducks can only be said to be average, but the biggest feature is the light gun itself.

   Before this, no one had ever imagined developing a light gun game like this.

   And after that, when Suri Electronics and other companies wanted to follow suit, they encountered patent barriers on the side of Zhu Yuxing.

  If you want to develop a light gun peripheral with similar technology, I'm sorry, we will sue you for infringement if you dare.

   Later, Suri Electronics could only find other ways to develop other light guns, but there was no progress.

However, when they saw that the light gun was not very popular in Japan, it seemed that the sales of peripherals and the game itself were only a few hundred thousand, which was nothing compared to other games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, which sold millions at every turn. .

   Under such circumstances, other companies are even less motivated to develop light guns.

   So until now, only Yuxing Electronics Entertainment has continued to produce light gun peripherals, and has also developed the second generation.

  The light guns of the first generation products are only limited to some older TV sets.

  With the development of science and technology, this kind of TV has long been eliminated in the United States, and Yuxing Electronic Entertainment began to develop better light guns according to the new TV mechanism.

   In fact, within Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, there are some doubts about Zhu Yuxing's insistence on continuing to develop the light gun product.

   Obviously you don’t make much money, why do you have to continue to invest in human and material resources? Isn’t it good to have the time to develop new game consoles or make new games?

   But Zhu Yuxing knows that the real market for light guns is not Japan, but the places where gun culture is prevalent in Europe and the United States.

   A gun-shaped toy whose safety level is infinitely close to the highest level will be the first choice gift for many adults to buy for children.

This is the experience summed up in the previous life. A duck game that only relies on the quality of graphics and gameplay can sell a total of more than 20 million products including peripherals. This is still the 20 million sales in the 1980s. , which proves that this popular game in Europe and the United States must have its success.

   And this is also a stepping stone to open the US market.

   Just when those guys thought they only had a few video games like Street Fighter to support the scene, I left a hand for you.

  The child holds a pistol and stares curiously at the animated dog on the screen.

  Then the clerk squatted beside the child, helped the child to hold the light gun with both hands, and then instructed: "Come on child, aim at those flying ducks on the TV screen with both hands, and then pull the trigger."

   The father on the side was also a little puzzled at this time.

   This guy wants to make my son aim at the TV screen?

how? Could this thing hit the duck on the screen?

   This sounds a bit bizarre, it is a technology that I have never heard of.

   In fact, the technology itself is not complicated, but people in this world have not seen this thing as entertainment.

   The child obediently followed the clerk's instructions and clenched the light gun with both hands, then closed one eye and opened the other to take aim, and pulled the trigger.

With the sound of a gunshot from the built-in sound module of the light gun, the sleeve of the light gun also quickly retreated through the electronic mechanical structure, forming a feeling of recoil launch, and then, a flying duck fell into the TV in response to the sound. among the grass.

   And the father next to him stared at him at this time, and he rubbed it hard, completely incomprehensible.

   Is this some magic technique?

   Obviously this light gun is only aimed at the screen, how on earth can this thing hit the duck in the screen?

   He is not a high-level intellectual, he is just a worker working in an ordinary factory, completely unable to understand the principle of this thing, and even subconsciously began to wonder if this thing is a magical creation.

   I heard that there is a legendary magic school in the UK, is this a magic product produced there?

   The father was thinking about a bunch of messes, and at this time his child was already jumping for joy.

   "Wow! I hit a duck!"

  The child jumped up happily, and then took the light gun in both hands and aimed at the next duck.

boom!

boom!

   Several consecutive shots fired, and the child laughed even more happily.

   The father on the side has also returned from his thoughts. At this moment, he is watching his children play happily, and his hands are suddenly itchy, and he also wants to experience it.

  To talk about authenticity, it must be more real with real guns.

   But this way of hitting the duck on the screen is very novel, and even he, an adult, has a very strong interest.

   The clerk was not surprised by the performance of this child and the eagerness of his father.

   When this thing was delivered to the store that day, and someone came to teach them how to play this thing, they all had the same expression.

   At that time, they also wondered if this was some kind of magical creation. After explaining it later, it was a messy principle that they could not remember, but it was scientifically based.

   At that time, they looked at the people who demonstrated the operation of the light gun as if they were looking at the gods.

   At the same time, they are also thinking that they are indeed Japanese, they can always create some strange but very interesting products.
