Game Market 1983

“Yuki, what about this concept? ”

“Yes? What kind of...? ”

Yuki and I showed interest, and this time I pulled notes out of the briefcase.

Although Yuki's diary was a bit more cluttered and cluttered than Yuki's, I was always carrying notes to sort out ideas that popped up. (Usually used to sketch to help Chendra or Gunpei understand...)

“Wow, something looks very complicated. Is it like Joon-Hyuk's idea notes? ”

“It's not as neat as you, Yuki, but sometimes I use it when I think of something. If you don't write it down, you'll soon forget it.”

“Yes, it's best to write it down when you think about it. ”

“First of all, this is the concept that I thought of. ”

I drew a rough picture of one of the workplaces of formal attire on an empty page of my notes. Then Yuki, who was looking at my painting, said a little.

“It's a simple picture, but you've got a good point. I can see the Celery Man Tee coming. ”

“Really? It's not much more than Yuki's painting, but first, this character is important. ”

“This character? ”

“Yes, he's always hungry. His name is moderately Onaka Seita-san (hungry). ”

“Foot..”

Yuki laughed at the sense of my name.

“Sounds like a good name for a decent one. Kick Kick”

“You can think of a name later, and this character actually walks around the store ordering food. ”

“Ahhh!! It's not just about introducing the store, it's about the actor eating the food. ”

“A little drama will do just fine. The protagonist is traveling around Tokyo on business and suddenly he gets hungry. ”

“Is that why you go to the store and order food? ”

“That's right, late-night television audiences might actually go there and try it, or they might promote the store, and the owners might like it. ”

“I think I can reach my viewers more naturally than the hard-to-find restaurant introduction!! The marketing effect of the filming site will be 1 trillion 2 trillion seats!”

Yuki nodded his head to make sure he understood the concept I was talking about.

In 1987, a variety of broadcasts came out of Japan because color TV was almost finished.

Unlike traditional black and white TV, the cooking program was often ranked as a favorite program for housewives in the morning thanks to color TV expressing even the colors of the food.

However, Yuki really liked my concept because there was still no program that specialized in eating delicious food.

“This is a very new and unique piece of material, and I'm going to use it. ”

“Look. It's better for you to think alone than alone, isn't it? ”

Yuki nodded, smiling brightly at my words.

After a while, after having a little more conversation, we left the coffee house and were headed to Shibuya Station in the late autumn in the cool breeze.

Time is a little after 9pm. At this time, Shinkansen is almost the last car to Kyoto, so why don't you sigh at a nearby hotel while you're in Tokyo, and stop by the Pentagon's office tomorrow?

Final Frontier 1, created by Kawaguchi, has become a large title that sold 200,000 copies immediately after issuance.

The title that was issued with the letter 'Final’ was added to the second production, saying that he would quit the game director if he failed. But when I called a few days ago, 2 said he'd raise the target layer a little bit to create an RPG of adult taste... You're not going to go into a concept as close as a psychic battle, are you?

While thinking about it, Yuki who was walking next to me asked me.

“Now, what do we do? ”

“Yes? I thought you were going home. ”

“It's only 9: 00. Are you going back to Kyoto? ”

“No, I'm going to stay at a nearby hotel tomorrow because I have something to do in Tokyo. ”

“Well, there's still plenty of time. ”

“Yes, but is there somewhere you want to go? ”

Then Yuki looked up at me, smiling and opening his mouth.

“Where do men and women meet at night? ”

“Yes..? ”

Oh, no... I've seen it twice now! Different from a clean image, is he a cheeky type? I was eventually drawn into Yuki's hands and headed back to the entertainment street.

&

And after a while. We were standing in front of a building with a mix of neon signs and loud music.

“This place... ugh!”

“Joon-Hyuk, what did you imagine? Are you having second thoughts? ”

“I'm not.”

You're making me think all I want, and that's not it.

As I lowered my head, Yuki curled up and opened the Game Center.

Then the BGM of all the games flowed to where I stood. In case you were wondering, I looked for a motel on the second or third floor, but I didn't see any such business at all.

There's a playroom on the first floor without going crazy, but there's no place upstairs to make a motel room.

Yuki calls me as the BGM of Tetris flows out from the interior of the middle building.

“Joon-Hyuk, if you come, will you help me with the game I've always wanted to play? ”

“Oh, yes. Haha... gladly...”

I forcibly smiled at Yuki and stepped into the Game Center. Yuki kept smiling, covering her mouth to see if my reaction was funny.

I fooled you at first, but not the next time. I opened my mind and lightly looked around the center.

“It's huge. This size is not common in Kyoto... Especially with all the sensory devices from the NEGA. ”

Recently, Japan's gaming industry has seen a tremendous rise.

In the home, Mintendo's family was able to access gaming media from anywhere because of this huge gaming center in the sprawling area.

At this time, gamers had to go to the game center if they wanted to enjoy fancy and graphical action games.

Family devices at home were difficult to keep up with graphics in the form of dedicated substrates used in spectacular gaming centers.

And of course, as we move into the 2000s, the home console slowly begins to outperform the graphics in the game center,

Today, the home console has not had any major conflicts with gaming center owners, as RPGs such as the Dragon Warrior or the Adventure Genre have begun their long playtime readership route.

However, the dreams of gamers in this era were so glamorous that they wished to play games for game centers with home gaming machines.

I had felt it before, but Yuki was a game person.

Yuki quickly took off his cardigan, tied it to his waist, and snuck onto the bike.

“Are you going to do this? ”

“Yes, do you want to join Joon-Hyuk? ”

“No, I'm just going to watch. ”

She places her bag in the basket next to her and puts a 100 yen coin in the coin entrance.

Deceptive gaming machines are more expensive than regular gaming machines. I understand the good coin recovery rate for the NEGA...

The game started as soon as I turned the slottle that resembled the actual motorcycle.

I folded my arms next to him and watched Yuki play. Hmmm! A game with a sense of humor... The NEGA is definitely good at arcades.

In fact, the failure of the NEGA disk penetration rate did not bring the NEGA down because of their absolute arcade game market.

It was the first company designed to allow players to ride in the driver's seat or play on motorcycles. The UFO Gacha Machine, which is also used to draw dolls, was also heard to be a huge amount of coins earned each month because it was made by them.

‘It's a coveted market for the owner of Kamachi. But is it a good thing that the unit price of the device was too high and that, according to Gunpei and Shigeru, it was a fast falling market when the home console grew up? ’

“Oh, that's too bad. It was just a checkpoint.”

This type of perceived racing game is designed to allow you to rotate the next track by a certain amount of time before you reach the checkpoint, so the coin turnover is fast. I asked Yuki, handing over the bag, who was making a sad face.

“Still, you're good. You'd be great to score an eighth. ”

“I'm pretty good, right? Ahhh!! There's a seat open. ”

Yuki ran into an ordinary lever-manipulated substrate and summoned me.

“Can we do this together? ”

“Hmm?"

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Recently, there has been a BGM that has been chattering like a habit walking the streets.

This addictive BGM leaked from all over the neighborhood's gaming center entrance, with a unique rhythm that no one would ever forget.

This crazy BGM is a bubble bobble made by Daido Soft in Japan. Then why in my country are they called Boggle Boggles? The title says bubble bobble for fuck's sake...

I don't know why it's not fire and bubbles coming out of the mouth of a little dinosaur, but this game was only able to beat the enemy completely by trapping it with that bubble and then blowing it.

If it took too long, a whale-shaped ghost appeared to catch the player, but at the same time, the urgent BGM, which was suddenly speeding up, made him sweat on his hands.

You were able to enhance your character by eating items, such as shoes and candy, but there were also factors that led to the destruction of friendships of 1P and 2P in order to eat each other.

Yuki tucked his skirt in with a cardigan and sat down. Yuki smiled and said as I sat on the 2P side.

“Do we want to bet on this? Why don't you grant the winner his wish? ”

Huh? This is an unexpected challenge. Well, then, shall I make it up to you as a childhood memory?

We put in 50 yen coin by coin and started the game.
