Game Market 1983

EP. 11: Case by Case (1)

“The river ~ the river ~ has come. ”

“Oh, the river. We work hard. I w-want repayment. I want Mani.”

After a long visit to the workshop, Chendra's colleagues greet me with a glance.

They were still fluent in Japanese, but they smiled comfortably as well.

“Okay, okay. But where's Chend? ”

“Went to lunch with Chendra. Japanese food is delicious. It's best if you mix it with curry. ”

Um... I like Careless. I'm hungry, too. Do you want to go get some food?

“What restaurant are you in? ”

“Mega Carreda in front of Yogi. That's a lot of sheep. I'm so full. But I eat two bowls! Haha!”

Pumala, an Indian larger than anyone else, raised his thumb with a good impression. It's a very small name.

I nod, smiling awkwardly, and head to the curry house where Chendra is eating.

As I walked into the store, the spicy smell of spices stimulated my sense of smell and was enough to boost my market. Then Chendra in the corner of the store found me and waved her hands.

The colourful Indian eyes and enormous nostrils felt overwhelming at any moment.

“Kang Jun-hyuk is here!! ”

Chendra is slightly better in Japanese than other Indian friends.

“It's been a long time, Chendra!”

“We worked hard... I made a lot just like Joon-Hyuk said. Dragon M...”

“Shh!! Shh!!"

As I put my fingers in my mouth, Chend hurriedly smiles, covering his mouth with both hands.

“Hello, what would you like to have? ”

“Give me a mega curry. ”

“High-Mega curry, please."

In the cool host's voice, the staff in the kitchen responded loudly.

“Yes, I understand!! ”

“What's wrong with Kang Joon-Hyuk today? Are you here for curry? Curry's good here. I like Chendra.”

“Did I come here to eat curry? I came to see you, didn't I? ”

“Are you here to see Chendra? You're doing great with Chendra. I still make 200 with my friends a day. ”

“Yeah, I just need you to make 30 of them a day. ”

“Three... 30? That's too few. So Kang Joon-Hyuk doesn't need us anymore? Are you dumping us like the rest of the Japanese? ”

“Why would I abandon you? I want you to make me something else. ”

“That's a relief. Curry is delicious again! What else are you going to make? I enjoy working with Joon-Hyuk. I feel like a secret operative. ”

“Let's create an expansion pack. ”

“Expansion pack… um.. what is it? ”

Yes. I'll draw it all again.I can't communicate with everything in Japan. I can't imagine how good I am at painting everyday!

I created a compartment with roughly a dragon emblem cartridge and re-created a cartridge underneath it for the family.

“Put a DE on top of this, and put this whole thing back in the family. Put the data recovery system of your existing games in this expansion cartridge. ”

The current market price of Dragon Emblem is over 20,000 yen. Because the price was so high for a single game, it was the biggest disadvantage that various users couldn't enjoy it. However, now that we have an attack on Phammi Communications, referring to the target house, we can almost clear it, so we have determined that it is time to lower the cartridge unit price.

“Oh, what a surprise. A device that can restore deleted data. Got it. It's easy. I can do it with my toes. ”

For a moment, I imagined Chendra fabricating a substrate with her toes, and I was so overwhelmed that I shook my head.

“Oh, and I'm going to put together eight little scenarios that follow. Distribution can be done with your friends, just like before, on the second-hand market. ”

“Okee Okee. Chendra. 100% clear. Don't worry!”

He nods, looking carefully at the painting and extends his hand to me.

It means to ask for a deposit.

I took out a white bag of money from my arms and handed it over to Chendra.

“Kang Jun-hyuk is sure of his credit. That's why I like Kang Joon-Hyuk, Chend. ”

“Here comes Mega Carre!! ”

Bravo... With a heavy voice, I found curry in front of me in a bowl the size of a washbasin. What is this... This huge amount of curry?

“Look, I normally make you do this. ”

“Yes, Mega Carre is normal. That's the aumauri.”

I was frightened to look at the bowl of the person eating next to me. The bowl he was burying his head in was 1.5 times bigger than mine.

While holding the spoon for a moment, Chendra giggles and opens his mouth, wondering where to start attacking this food.

“I'm not hungry all day with just one! Pumala eats two bowls of this. Hurry up and eat, Kang Jun-hyuk. ”

I... I think I'm gonna hate karev for a while...

The expansion cartridge created by the Indian Ford started to drop the price of the ever soaring Dragon Emblem to the right line.

Finally, the price sold in second-hand transactions is 9800 yen. The price of custom chips inside was formed higher than normal game prices, but the fact that familiarization revealed the secrets of the price of dragons emblems led to consumers' persuasion.

Of course, there was a problem if the price continued to rise, but Chendra was using an expansion cartridge to initialize the game data for 300 yen in the game shop.

Initially, the game shop hated the expanded cartridge of Dragon Emblems that couldn't be played on a single device, but players who had lost their play data and were storing it until now were able to come and retrieve the data and receive the expansion packs without too much effort.

And since the game was completed, a relatively inexpensive expansion cartridge has begun to sell off in an additional scenario.

And that's why... Gunpei and I and Shigeru had to be called back in front of Kamauchi again.

“What the hell is this Satan!!! It's like our mintendo is being used by a Korean developer!! ”

Then, as always, Gunpei opened his mouth sweeping his glasses.

“But it's true that the effects of the Dragon Emblem have greatly increased our family's sales volume. This particular expansion cartridge was a remarkable expansion as an engineer. ”

“That's right, I didn't expect the game to last much longer in that way. ”

“You think I've gathered you here to praise the Korean developer!? We have to come up with a plan!? ”

Then I opened my mouth, standing still.

“Do you really need a plan?" ”

“What? So we're just gonna sit here and watch? A game that doesn't pay us royalties is getting more popular than ever, and we're just gonna watch it with our eyes wide open? ”

“The dragon emblem has gone too deep to take action now. I think it's better to protect the creator of the game than to cut it out in the yard where second-hand distribution is already enabled. ”

“Protect him instead? Why us? ”

“What if the dragon emblem goes to the NEGA disk? ”

In a word I said, Kamachi and the president all opened their mouths. I don't think anyone has ever imagined that.
