Game Market 1983

EP. 12: Odd Marketing (2)

“Stop looking. There's a hole in the paper. Dude.

“Amazing… wait? But what if another magazine puts each character on the main cover? ”

“Yes. The main cover of every game magazine next month is the Psychic Battle. ”

“Wow, you really are a badass. ”

“What nonsense!! Great marketing skills!! ”

In addition, to collect all these crazy illustrations, readers will have to buy all four magazine books. Magazines are as good as magazines, and I like the rumors between users themselves. So I imagined that... I swallowed the water cup from Junpei and smiled brightly.

This is a game cartridge? ”

“An experimental demo cartridge. You can enjoy up to two stages. ”

“Oh, that's good news. The other reviewers were curious about the psychic battle, but something bigger than the other cartridges. ”

“I put special chips in there to help with the family's computation.”

“Ah! That's why it's so big... But it feels so special! Let's play for a while, shall we? ”

“Try it already? ”

“What about promoting it to other journalists? ”

“Suit yourself."

As soon as Jun Fei left the reception room, she called out to her colleagues who were working.

“Hey!! Here comes the trial cartridge from the Psychic Battle I used to compliment you on!! The one who laughed at me for dying in the first stage!! ”

“Oh? Psychic Battle!? Me!! Let me try!! ”

The Psychic Battle, brought to the table for experiential use, quickly became very popular with the Pharma Communications staff. A few moments later, surrounded by a little television, they begin to stick their tongues out in the great anthrax of the Psychic Battle.

“Twirl the cross there and press B!! ”

Jun Fei laughed at his comrades who were dying in the first half of the stage.

“What the... what the fuck is so hard...”

“I was the only one to go to the boss at the new conference. I told you it was hard to be scared. Get out of my way! ”

Jun Fei sat down, pushing away his colleague who was giving up throwing the pads.

“Here!! Behold my fantasy play!! ”

Jun Fei was more sensible than other employees. The longer I stayed in one place, the more I noticed that the shell was concentrating and avoided the shell as I flew freely through a wide stage.

The program was tuning the projectile to not exceed a certain amount, but there were occasionally slower frames, but there was no major disruption in playing.

“You seem more stable than ever. The frames don't fall very far. ”

“Of course. I made the coding more monotonous. There were occasional variable frame intervals, but they were suppressed as much as possible. ”

Shortly thereafter, Jun Fei was reunited with the first insect boss.

“I'll repay your debt today!! ”

Jun Fei didn't get hit twice by the same number. After some shell spraying, the frame begins to fall, and he quickly moves the character to the end of the screen to avoid the laser beam.

In the end, Jun Fei's first boss is defeated and Jun Fei pushes into the second stage.

“Ahhhh!!! ”

Although he struggled with adequate barrier skills, the two stages became even more difficult with a range of rounded rounds of shell being added. No matter how many flying creatures reached the second boss, there was very little HP left.

“Is it possible to clear? ”

Another giant boss may appear, and a superpower character the size of the protagonist appears in front of Jun Fei who is very nervous.

“The second boss is the same superpower!! It's worth a shot!! ”

Unlike the giant boss of the first stage, a smile was drawn on Junpei's mouth at the appearance of the same humanoid boss. Looks like you got a lot of room to avoid, huh? Jun Fei's relaxed expression made me smile on my lips.

‘Let's see if someone completes stage 2 until the next issue comes out. ’

Jun Fei lightly dodges an enemy attack while simultaneously issuing a guide laser beam that inputs a command to fire at the enemy. At that moment... Shush!! The charming boss character disappears as soon as the laser beam hits.

“Teleport!!!! ”

Jun Fei, who was caught up with the boss in a hurry, quickly opened up his distance, but he couldn't escape the boss's clutches, using his mind to draw in the protagonist like a magnet. And when Azsa Ren, the protagonist of the next boss' giant laser attack, was hit in the face...

“Huff!!!!!!!! ”

When a screen full of wounded Azsa Ren's dangerous pose popped out, everyone was huffing and inhaling. Of course, it was a bit crude compared to the illustration I gave to Jun Fei earlier, but it was already overlapping in Jun Fei's head.

“If a boss beats you to death... the parts will peel off. On the contrary, if we eliminate the boss by force...”

Then one of the reporters next to me cut off my horse and said, holding Jun Fei's hand tightly.

“Jun Fei, please. Don't forget to kill the second boss!!! ”

“Oooh!!!! ”

The tastes of the males are so easy... What an illustration of Parts flying... In fact, the concept of Parts flying has already appeared for the first time in the famous "Castle of Gold" game at the Game Center.

The flying enemy's magic was a game that used shields to block prizes, mediums, and downwards. If you were accidentally bewitched, the armor parts flew off one by one.

The problem was that it was a male character... but the game center players who cheered with one mind to take off all of the hostile Heroic Corps's parts burst into laughter.

Of course, I replaced it with an illustration because I couldn't get parts to fly when I woke up dead or alive with my current family's spam, but it still works wonders here.

“Are you leaving already? ”

“Yes, I have someone I need to see. Play well and write well. ”

“Leave the knights to me! I'll write you a great one!! ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

“By the way, Joon-Hyuk..."

“Huh?"

I felt uneasy with Jun Fei scratching his cheeks and making a embarrassing face. What is it? Is there something wrong with my psychic battle?

“Before you came here, you said you gave four magazines different character illustrations? ”

“Oh, right. Why??"

“There are three main characters, and the other one must be Catherine, the second stage boss? ”

“Right. Why is that? ”

“Where did you give me that illustration? ”

“I gave it to the game world before I got here.”

“Ahhhh!! I'd rather give it to you!!! ”

“... was that your preference? ”

What... Is that the only reason you have such a serious face? I liked the queen better than this one... I smiled at Jun Fei in agony.

“Don't worry. I'll talk to our staff and send you a whole set of four specials. ”

“Th-that's real? ”

“Yeah, man. ”

“Okay!!! I was a little selfish, but the game is great, so I'll write you a review!!

“I'm really going, then!”

Looking at the watch, I was already running out of time, so I hurried to the train station and waved to Junpei.

“Call me when you get to Kyoto!”

“Yeah, man. Good job!"

- In a few moments, this train will reach Shibuya Station...

Instead of a solid voice prompt, you hear the driver's walking voice driving the train directly through the speakers.

"I feel so young no matter how many times I hear it..."

I rushed off the train with a lightened briefcase.

It's not too late, but it's close. We have five minutes until the appointment...

Tsk... As soon as the train door opened, I ran towards the stairs in front of me. At 6 pm, Shibuya Station was crowded with people taking the train.

‘It's very complicated... time to go to work? ’

A typical meeting place at Shibuya Station is the statue of Dog Hachi Gong who saved his owner.

In this age, there was a strange excitement in making promises and meeting with someone. The precise timing, the exact location, the beating of waiting for the other person in that place?

I didn't know where the other person was coming from because my phone was at a quiet and uneasy time, but I felt good to feel excited and excited about the inconvenience.

Now I'm a little late... but I left the station after looking at the watch again.

In front of the statue of the Hochiang Gong, famous as the meeting place, there were already many people waiting for someone, each looking at the clock.

And I was able to find Yuki in it with ease.
