Game Market 1983

“What happened? How could that drop a duck on TV? ”

Of course you don't understand. For them, the situation would be as shocking as the first time they've seen a 4D film. Nothing was fired from the rifle, but it was definitely shooting freshly off a duck in a TV.

My boss and manager were watching me play like I was possessed by a ghost. You're a genius, Gunpei. You've made something very good in a short time.

Mr. Gunpei returned to Japan and spent the night researching new controllers for his games. Meanwhile, he became interested in the rate of injection on the TV screen, and the electrogun he created was a single moment, but he was able to manipulate the rate of injection on the TV.

When I pulled the trigger of the electrolyte gun, the whole screen blinked black for a moment, but it was so long that the human eye couldn't confirm it. And it was designed to make the flying duck object appear white and make the electrogun recognize the white object.

What does that even mean? Actually, I don't know. Anyway, the electronic gun has the ability to force television control to recognize flying ducks, so if Gunpei is happy with this and doesn't miss the jet lag, he has to call in the morning for menstruation...

I think he was a little clumsy about how it worked at the time, but he was asleep, so I don't know... It's just, oh, it's finally made. I fell asleep again, but...

“Definitely a fun toy. ”

“Do you like it? ”

“Yeah, but you know what? ”

Toy World's president lit a thick cigar on fire. I had a hunch that this contract would not be fulfilled when I read a face that appeared to ignore people openly. Fast-eyed, he uncovers the cartridge lid of the M.E.S and checks Duckhunt's game pack inside.

“My eyes cannot be deceived. This is a video game. They insist on expressing it as a toy and then somehow they want to deliver it to our store. Great! I'll take it to my store. ”

Yamashta's expression was clear in the words of Toy World President. But, um...

“But make it Duck Hunt's machine. I don't need another cartridge. You think I don't know what you guys are up to after you put in one of those fancy games and then try to distribute it later? ”

It was not difficult to build a Deokhunt-specific machine. However, in a console business that seeks additional revenue from the sale of software, that is never going to happen.

“That's not true. To ensure the quality of our games, we review and submit all our games. Lower games like yours are not going to be available on our devices. ”

“Bullshit!! ”

Eventually, Yamashta and I were driven out by the shopkeepers.

“If you want to sign with us, build a dedicated Duck Hunt machine. Our Toy World no longer handles gaming consoles. ”

The manager leaves the box with the M.E.S roughly on the floor and goes back inside the store. Oh, it's a sax. Anyway, the Americans are strong. You're the same person if you're wrong, and you're just running around on the pavement...

“It's hard... I never imagined that human perception could be so frightening. ”

“I knew I shouldn't have come to the store when I was hungry. ”

“A ship? What do you mean? ”

“Korea is full of them. Anyway, let's move the place. There's nothing to see here anymore. ”

I straightened out the lying controller and got up. Before leaving Toy World, I turned and looked at the entrance of the store and muttered.

“Pig. You'll see. Please, I'll make you beg for stuff in our store.”

&

Yamashta and I finally stopped by a little toy store on the corner of New York. Unlike downtown, the store was relatively quiet, so there was no shopkeeper, and the name of the store was Toy Box.

“Hi, we're sales people from a company called M.H.E.S, and we're here to deliver new toys.”

Then the middle-aged man at the counter smiled and welcomed us.

“Hello, good to see you. I'm sorry, but our store is closing next month. Are you okay? ”

“You're closing the door?" Why... ”

“Actually, there have been a lot of toy shops on the street lately, so it's hard to keep track of a lot of customers on our side.”

“Oh, well, we haven't signed up for any toy stores just yet, if you don't mind. ”

“It's not that hard. Come inside."

In the kindness that was clearly contrasted with Toyworld, Yamashta let out a breath of relief. Without a separate room, we demonstrated robots and duckhunts, just as we demonstrated in the Toy World in a corner.

“Oh, it's a whole new kind of manipulation. But the game, huh? ”

As expected, Duck Hunt's manipulation drew attention, but Toy Box's boss said it was a game. Half of Toybox's stores were filled with Atari's game cartridges.

“I love games, too, but as you can see, running the store has become more difficult because of your credit for Atari games. So I'm afraid of buying this machine. ”

“I understand the ten minutes. But our M.E.S will never bring Atari the same misfortune. ”

I picked up Super Maridge and Maridge Brothers from the bag I had prepared. In fact, if the atmosphere was good in Toyworld, they were the ones I brought to push, but I was able to demonstrate them here for the first time because I was kicked out without even having a chance to demonstrate.

Since Toybox's understanding of the game was essentially high, he was amazed at the new way of navigating in the form of transverse scrolling, adapting to the Super Maridge system in an instant.

“This is amazing!! ”

“This game will soon enter the Game Center in the United States. ”

“I see. This kind of game will definitely work in the United States. Especially when you're not tied up in a screen like the old arcade. A whole new way!! ”

The owner of the Toybox was happy, enjoying Super Maridge like a child. But that was also...

“In Atari... if this game had been played, my shop would have been able to continue...”

He was tearing up whether it was unfair to meet Super Maridge now. Even Yamashta was looking at Mr. Toybox with a sad face.

“Ms. Grant likes games. If the store doesn't close, will you accept our mintendo game console? ”

“Of course. But I can't run a store anymore. We also don't have the funds to buy this machine. ”

“Okay, boss. We're here to help you. ”

“Yes?”

“I'll give you 100 free M.E.S from Mintendo. And I'll give you three months' rent in advance from this store.
