Game Market 1983

A very interesting thing happened this month in the best signal palm communication.

Users playing the Dragon Emblem are gathered together to take action. What did you say the name of the event was? Did it say "king"?

After issuing an announcement for the dragon emblem, which prepared a total of 25 stages, users volunteered to attend the event, and Minten came out as a representative to investigate their reactions.

“I've only been developing games for five years, but I've never seen such a rare event. ”

After coming back from breakfast, Shigei muttered, swallowing the bakery bread and milk. I was beside him, smiling gladly and looking around the venue.

The users were sitting in front of their monitors at the venue with their faces covered. The dragon emblem, prepared by Pammy Communications for this event, was the largest of its kind because 100 users, including me and Shigere, gathered to clear the Dragon emblem because it was obtained by wiping out used stores all over the country.

The players were mostly men, but there was also a mix of middle-aged female users on a 9: 1 ratio. At this time, however, the female user was of almost a natural monument, so it was enough to receive the attention of men in one body.

“Greetings, users. A member of the Dragon Emblem Punitive Force and a member of the community. Junpei Ishimoto.”

Punitive force... What a terrible name...

“If you're here, I think you're a warrior kneeling on the drastic difficulty of Dragon Emblem a few times, but in case you're wondering, I'll let you know some of the information I learned from our pammy communications and get right to the game. First!! Please look this way!! ”

As Gunpei pointed to the event wall, a brief game introduction using a projector was unfolded.

“The company that invented the dragon emblem and its creators are still hidden. Perhaps clearing a game is a common way of showing up, so if one of you completes this game today, we will solve the riddle of where this game was created!! ”

“Ooooo!!!!!!! ”

The morale of the soldiers gathered to conquer the Demon King named Dragon Emblem was great. Even the middle-aged female users seemed to have contributed something evil to their shouting.

I bought it for 1,000 yen initially, but then I didn't give it to the Apostles for clearing it. It's worth paying evil... I let out a mouthful of laughter and tuned in to their cry.

Jun Fei continued to explain after a satisfactory smile while looking around the president.

“Think about it. I've bought five of these games. The longest stage is 18 stages. Kneel down in the Temple of the Dark Dragons. One in five started playing with the help of an acquaintance, but after that only cost 70,000 yen for four cartridges. And I think it's similar for those of you who are here. ”

“I spent 200,000 yen!!! ”

A user shouted in a genuine outrage, and Jun Fei replied with a mournful smile.

“I don't think you're very good at games. ”

Players with red faces shut their mouths tightly, but the surrounding atmosphere becomes a laughing sea.

Even with the Japanese arts program, I think it's a Japanese culture that is a little bit discreet because of the performances of insulting and beating the heads of guests.

“Now, I'm going to briefly explain to you that some of you, like the user you just talked about, don't know the system of this game. As many of you know, the characters who died in the game will still be erased, so let me skip that and give you a brief overview of your relationship with the soldier's class.

Spearman is effective against cavalry, cavalry is effective against prosecutors. And the prosecutor is using a scissor scissor system that's effective for spearers. Archers have a ranged attack that attacks enemies two spaces behind them and are effective against courageous characters. But be careful because you have low defensive strength.

Courage attacks all classes effectively, but is a rat poison for arrows. Exactly!! If you stay here and play carefully, we will definitely see the end of this game today!! ”

“Wow!!!!! ”

“And if you have any users who have last completed this game, we have prepared a prize of 100,000 yen for those who donate the cartridge to FAMILY. Please be sure to create your first clear user here. Then!! Start the game!! ”

“Ow!!! ”

Along with the screams of the Sparta warriors of the movie 300, prologue overthrows the beginning of the game throughout the venue.

“Khhh! Let's finish this once and for all. ”

I also pressed the start button while swallowing a smile at the appearance of Seegee, who was burning strangely. So... should we clear it now?

About an hour after the event started, about five to 20 users dropped the majority.

In chapter 5, where the point is to move on to chapter 6 without losing even one of the first Giant Monsters attacks, I was also able to carefully stand in front of the protagonist and deal sustained damage as an archer and clear the first hurdle.

However, after losing at least one character, the user slowly begins to be shaken by the aggression of the enemy, and about 30 users in chapter 10 fall out of the game again.

And I said, "Hey, guys. I need you to push a little harder. This game is like chess. If you are not careful with every character move, you will quickly break down Valence and you will be unable to clear any Characters once you lose them. Please raise your hand if any user has not lost any characters up to chapter 10. ”

Then, about 20 users, including me and Shigere, quietly raised their hands.

“Great!! There's still a chance. You can do it!! Please give them a round of applause!! ”

“Cheer up!! Wow!!"

Among the players who cheered, there were also students who had seen it in the bookstore before. They've been trying to save the game.

Since chapter 10, Dragon Emblem has had a dramatic rise in difficulty with the awakening of enemy Demon Kings. If you haven't raised an evenly balanced character so far, it will become difficult to withstand enemy aggression.

Sitting next to him, Shigeru was no longer focused on the game without saying anything. After gathering as many enemies as possible against a wave of enemies, the wizard attacks a range of attacks.

Chapter 15. Seeking the Sword to defeat the Demon King, Shigere made a grave mistake onstage. The shop forgot to supply the recovery staff and started the stage. The dragon emblem used an autosave method to erase existing save data at the start of the stage, making it impossible to go back.

“Ahhhh!!!! Mistake!!"

Seegee's screams echoed long into the venue. He tried his best to minimize the damage to his allies, but...

“Katrina... Katrina!!!! Ahhhh!! ”

I lost the heroine again. Katrina is the High Priestess, so she is weak in stamina but is responsible for a large amount of power to help her allies recover. The loss of her in chapter 15 has already crossed the waters of Game Clear.

After losing his cool and playing a passive game, Shigeru was defeated in Chapter 18 of the Dark Dragon Temple.

“Th-that's... that's it.”

The event, which started at 9: 00 a.m., was coming to 6: 00 p.m., and 11 of the 100 users, including me, were entering stage 20. Four users who still haven't lost a single character. Surprisingly, there was also a female user.

“Ahh! It's intense. Eleven players struggle to clear the Fierce and Fierce Dragon Emblem. Ahhh!! I just told you -- two players were game-overed. Nine!! It's time for your support!! ”

Jun Fei, who had already been game-overplayed on stage 19, was focusing on society. When I entered chapter 21, the game began to become too difficult to insult.

‘It's a level I designed, but it's a little harsh. ’

The protagonist's absolute attack with the Sword of Light on the front and the infantry knight in charge of tanking as an intermediate glove had already evolved to the final class stage, and Katrina was also behind them in the final class as a messenger of God.

The archer obtained the Eye Skill of the Hawk and was assisting the protagonist with a super-range shooting outside of 10 slots. Some level characters were covering to prevent the enemy's tides from interfering.

“Where does this game end? A survey of 100 users predicted the end of chapter 20, but the game is already heading to chapter 23.

It's 9: 00 p.m. already. But every single user in this room is hiding and watching the outcome of the game. The Demon King finally appears in chapter 23!! And 5 users left!! Surprisingly, there are two users who have yet to enter without losing all the characters.

It's Kang Jun-hyuk, a Korean employee from Mintendo, and Yuki, a beautiful female player. I think one of these two will see the end of the game!! ”

Chapter 23... The Demon King's Fallen. On the other hand, it is much more difficult than the final chapter of 25. The reason is...

“Ah!! Finally!! The Demon King has fallen!! The Demon King, who has suffered so much for his party, has just fallen into the hands of a player named Satoshi for the first time! ”

“Waaaahhhh!! ”

Word of the Demon King's downfall spread among the survivors who were watching the game began to gather at Ur Satoshi.

And while everyone was relieved of the Demon King's downfall, something remarkable happened in the game. At that time, a message window appeared on the screen and foretold the appearance of the Dark Spirit.

“Ah... the Dark Lord!? Not now? Oh my!! ”

While everyone was breathing, the Dark Spirit woke up inside the Demon King and took critical damage from the characters around him.

“No!!! ”

In a strike, a player named Satoshi loses all of his near-half characters without knowing anything. Then, when the Dark Lord's magic woke up, the play screen reminded him of the phrase GAME OVER as a red mark.

“Holy shit!!! ”

Kwaang!! Satoshi gets angry at the beheaded level design and throws the gamepad to the ground. Thanks to his noble sacrifice, the remaining players begin to spread a technique that makes their allies retreat as far back as possible before killing the Demon King.

I also defeated the Demon King with two archers using a ranged sniper, so I didn't lose a character until the Dark Hadou Falls.

Chapter 23 The Dark Lord, who was hit by the protagonist, disappears with a final battle announcement, and the story of the Dragon Emblem begins with a climax.

“Phew... I'm tired...”

Only Yuki and I were the only two players to successfully break through chapter 23. But Yuki also lost an archer, a priest, and a tank in chapter 23, so he was preparing for everything before entering chapter 24.

The officials of the event also began to illuminate the game screen on large projectors that were installed on the front to allow the missing players to get a better view of the game screen. The users cheered because the quality deterioration was severe but better than nothing.

“Well, we're almost there. Yuki and Junhyuk Kang, I salute you both for surviving to the end of 100 users. ”

“Cheer up!! Show us the end of the game!! ”

One time, Yuki came out with cheering sounds from everywhere, nodding slightly and entering chapter 24. The final battle against the Dark Lord is chapters 24 and 25. It took place over two stages, and Yuki, who had already lost important power in chapter 23, has been struggling with enemy aggression since the beginning.

On the contrary, I was using two archers who had reached the palace class in preparation for the battle in chapter 25 to lightly repel the incoming enemies. After all, Yuki, who had only one palace character, knelt down to attack the enemy with a hole in his power.

“Ah… Yuki was defeated in chapter 24. She also shed tears in her angry heart. Who created this damn game to make you shed tears in the eyes of such a beautiful beauty?!! ”

Are you telling me to listen...? I focused on the game, swallowing laughter at Junpei's ridiculous commentary. Yuki came to me after finishing the game.

“Please keep up the good work.”

“Oh, yeah."

I covered my enemies one by one and waited for them to stop attacking. Finally, all the enemy soldiers were defeated and left behind only the Dark Hades. The protagonists and colleagues who had already taken the final level in the final class had already begun a wave attack surrounding the Dark Spirit, and were sweating the hands of the people in the president and watching me play. And the last 24 chapters...

A dark spirit attempts a second transformation in front of the protagonist about to strike a final blow.

At that moment, Shigeru stopped playing because she was so reluctant to love Katrina and another heroine, Myriah the Wizard, stopped the Dark Spirit. And in the emerging status message, I smiled in my heart.

Katrina and Mirea... which one would you sacrifice to protect the protagonist? -

“What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ”

“Fuck!!! No!!! ”

“Aah!!! You developer bastard!!! ”
