   Chapter 71 What is this garbage

   Dozens of game developers in Suri Electronics are now starting the process of making games that they want to break their heads.

   The latest game Super Mario Bros. 3 from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is on sale as scheduled.

   In this generation of works, Kuba, as the villain, is no longer limited to catching the princess and waiting for the rescue of the protagonist Mario.

   This time, Kuba chose to lead his younger brother to attack the seven kingdoms of the mushroom world at the same time, and took away the treasures of different kings, throwing the seven kingdoms into chaos.

  If Mario wants to save the princess, he first needs to help the seven kingdoms to solve the problem, then defeat the Kuba's younger brother BOSS guarding the seven kingdoms one by one, and finally go to the base of the big BOSS to rescue the princess.

   The whole story is quite traditional, but children just eat this set, and of course there are more important things, that is, a richer gameplay.

   In the previous work, there are only three super Mario transformation forms, one becomes Mario, one becomes Mario who breathes fireballs, and the last is Mario who eats invincible flowers.

   And this work adds six transformation forms on the basis of the original, each form has a very special function, helping players explore the whole world.

   In addition to the changes in character transformation, the content of the game itself has also expanded wildly.

  Eight large maps already have certain flexible adventure options, allowing players to choose between difficult levels or simple levels.

   Super Mario 3 is also known as the most difficult work in the original work.

  Since people in this world have just experienced video games not long ago, Zhu Yuxing felt that the difficulty should be lowered a little, and simply added a small number of levels that were equivalent to skipping classes to allow players to pass the level faster.

   But if you want to experience all the fun of Super Mario 3, you must go to the difficult road to adventure, that is more satisfying.

  In the first part, there was only one big castle and one big boss to deal with in the whole game, but now there are eight.

  The content was full, reaching the upper limit of the upper limit of the capacity of the red and white machine. Finally, a game program of more than 300KB was stuffed into the 256KB cassette by a tricky method.

   The programmers of Suri Electronics were stunned for a long time after they reversely parsed the code of Mario 1.

   The size of the game is only 40KB, and Zhuyouxing is almost ready to play, and it can accommodate far more things than imagined.

   They feel that if they make the same game, the capacity must be at least doubled, which is not necessarily enough.

   It took dozens of people several days to recreate a game like Super Mario.

   In the end, only a semi-finished product could be made, and there were many places that were too late to check and correct. Fortunately, players in this era seem to be quite fooled. As long as there is a game to play, they can still reluctantly accept this kind of game.

   As for the birth of Super Mario Bros. 3…

   This game can be regarded as the pinnacle of red and white machines, and it is difficult to surpass it.

Only by taking a different approach from other categories, Zhu Yuxing decided to concentrate on researching other types of games after the release of Super Mario Bros. 3, and then consider new Mario works after the emergence of new game consoles. The functions of the red and white consoles are so high now. , no matter how hard you try to make it, it's useless.

   On the day of the release, it happened to be a day before the children were on vacation.

   A few days ago, some of them had a good time after purchasing a PN-type game console, including Oda Chong, the child of Tian Chong's family, a newspaper editor.

   His family is a middle-class family, so he can have spare money to buy these toys for his children, not to mention Tian Chong himself likes to play game consoles.

  Oda Chong was happy for a long time after he bought the PN game console that day. He showed off vigorously among the children, and then invited the children to come to their house to play.

   Children are always easy to satisfy, even if the game does seem to be a little worse than the red and white machine, but three in one breath, it still makes the children very happy for a short time.

   But after playing the PN game console for a few hours, Tian Chong had only one feeling.

  Why am I wasting my time on this thing?

  With those few hours, wouldn’t it be nice for me to drink some wine and watch TV?

   What kind of garbage is this?

   The games in the red and white machine are not all fun, but at least they can be played and make people feel very comfortable.

   He's not a game maker, he can't tell what it feels like, but he can at least understand what's fun and what's not.

   The three games on this PN game console are rubbish! He felt that it was necessary for him to go to the newspaper office tomorrow to write an article and give it a shot!

   And the time has come to the release date of Super Mario Bros. 3.

   One day before the release, Tian Chong simply ran to the nearest game sales store with a tent and lined up overnight.

  Oda Chong originally wanted to follow him, but was sternly rejected by his father.

When the door of the store opened, when the clerk took out a billboard from inside to officially announce the release of Super Mario Bros. 3, the long queue immediately rose, and the people in the tent jumped out excitedly and lined up. The eyes of the people in the queue also shone.

   The manager of the store was overjoyed to see this scene, which is much more than the previous battle of PN game consoles, or the red and white consoles are more popular.

   It seems that I have to be careful, I can't listen to the bragging of Suri Electronics' salesmen, and the real sales channel will know who is the most popular.

   Those so-called sales figures of tens of thousands are just data, and cannot really represent whether the game consoles are really popular. Many people actually buy them blindly, which is equivalent to spending a lot of money.

   "Hello, five thousand yen, your Super Mario Bros. 3, welcome again."

"Hello…"

  Today, the clerks of many shops did not rest for a moment, and it seemed that people from all over the city were dispatched.

   Of course it wasn't really that exaggerated, but the scene was really shocking.

   Even the reporters followed the news and reported the news of the game's release. This was equivalent to the TV station advertising Youxing Electronic Entertainment for free, and it was still news time.

   Super Mario Bros. 3 sold out in almost all stores on the first day.

   Their store manager kept in touch with the sales staff of Youxing Electronic Entertainment to buy another batch of goods quickly. How could they miss this good opportunity to make money?

   In the crowd, there were a group of employees from Suri Electronics.

   They want to buy the game as soon as it is released, and then study the details of the game carefully.

   Tian Chong lined up overnight and got the harvest. He successfully bought a box of Super Mario Bros. 3 that day. When he brought it home, in O Tian Chong's eyes, he was like a hero who returned from a victory.

   "Dad, you are the best!"

  Oda Chong shouted excitedly, then couldn't wait to run directly to the game console after his father.

   Then Tian Chong saw Oda Chong throw the PN game console aside without hesitation, and then plug in the connection cable of the red and white console.
