Game Market 1983

&

After taking a short break with Gunpei, I returned to the venue and the queue was still endless outside the venue.

Even the shelves with experimental devices were crowded to touch the latest mobile devices.

“Lieutenant, help me!”

At dawn, Mina, who had fallen into the cold in the bongo car, was this time paved with the customers.

“I'll take it from here. Take a break. ”

“Thank you."

Well, your legs will hurt if you stand in high heels all day. I took a detour around the venue, switching work with Mina.

Among them, the student who was touching the gamble boy in the expedition muttered with an astonishing expression.

“It's so light...”

Hmm... Honestly, I hope it's not lightweight.

Honestly, the design says it weighs about 220 grams, but it weighs about 300 grams if you add four batteries to it.

However, it is a compact size compared to the Walkman made by Sensoni, a small electronic device in this era.

It may seem silly to me, but it's innovative to them.

I slowly took a step back and moved to the Battle of Psychics.

Then Kashiwaba, a member of the PR team, who had served coffee together until dawn, ran to me.

“Gameboys are exciting, but even guests who come to the event to experience the Psychic Battle can't ignore it. ”

“Of course it's going to work. I heard from Mr. Kamachi that he was wasting his money on useless things. ”

A portable Gameboy launch event was also an event, but this is why I was able to support myself at the event.

And a demo cartridge made in small quantities for this day is currently popular. Why? Because of that phrase.

- Challenge the new Talking Psychic Battle!! -

1. Give an illustration of the character you want to complete the first stage.

2. Complete the second stage for a psychic battle trial cartridge.

The reward was simple, but the effect was immense.

In the last month, four major game magazine covers have been decorated, and reviews of the game have also been well drawn.

Thanks to this, I was the first to beat Super Maritime 3's expectations this month... but I wasn't satisfied there and took a step further.

In the Psychic Battle article of Pammy Communications published this month, she listed the date and location of her experience at the bottom.

Mr. Gunpei also agreed to the collaborative effect of the event I proposed.

Thanks to you, Mr. Gunpei's Gameboy on one side of the venue... and on the other side, my psychic battle is gathering an enormous number of people.

People passing by the venue stopped walking and the breathtaking scent of the Psychic Battle was unfolding.

“Ahhh!! What a waste!!"

As soon as the over-gamed player drops his head, the next challenger steps forward, leaving only a few remaining stamina for Stage 1 boss.

“No one has claimed the trial cartridge as a reward yet. ”

“The first boss cleared several minutes ago, but the difficulty was so high. But there's a growing queue of challenges in that regard. ”

“Once you get a sense of it, it will appear gradually. It's the first day of the event. It's no fun if you run out too soon. ”

“Right? Some of the illustrations on the front cover of the magazine are very popular, and some of you are challenged repeatedly to collect all four. ”

“If it's too much, please formulate Kashiwa. It is reserved for a variety of users to experience. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

‘I can't wait to see how many trial cartridges there are during the event...’

I swallowed a smile and looked around the venue.

Gameboy's successful launch event was exhausted only four days after its launch.

This was six days earlier than we anticipated.

It looks like it was Christmas season, and what was interesting is that the 30,000-something seconds sold over these four days were more than the combined sales of Mintendo's family and NEGA disks.

Mintendo's management, who predicted that toys would be too expensive to fail, said they were surprised at this remarkable volume.

Additional reproductive minutes immediately went to work, but it seemed like it would be difficult for the time being to cope with the enormous demands of consumers.

In addition to the development of portable gamble boys, the most profitable place was the 'Sharp’, which was made in black and white screen and delivered to Mintendo. Sharp, who was able to deliver Gamboy's liquid crystals alone, benefited greatly from the recession of Japan's economic downturn, which could be recovered in a moment.

Matchada and Mintendo's camouflage, the chairman of the shaft, were very gruesome, so they supplied liquid crystals in the direction of win-win.

Portable Gambo used STN-reflected black and white crystals to balance power consumption with price, and nevertheless, it was only possible to play up to 5 hours of AA batteries in a row (if played continuously).

Moreover, the STN liquid crystal was susceptible to light reflections, making it impossible to turn out the lights and play at night because the screen itself was barely visible by sunlight during the day and there was no backlight function.

However, Merritt was overcoming all of these disadvantages and being able to play the game by herself without having to use the TV.

The era of the 8-bit console game was soon to come to a halt, followed by a portable gamble boy.

“Hey!! Just give me one game too! Huh? ”

“No! If you want to decide, tell your mom to buy it, too!”

“Shame on you. ”

I had a personal appointment, and I was walking down the street to the station, and there were two kids coming home, wearing school bags, fighting each other.

It looks like a little house kid who lives a little because he's dressed like a chubby little man.If he asks me to, I can give him a fight. You're greedy.

It's like looking at the thugs and threads of Doraemon.

I passed by the children throwing a bloody smile.

Christmas Eve ends today at the Gamboy-launch event.

Gunpei and other employees have just withdrawn the venue and returned to Kyoto for gold, but I was still in Tokyo.
