Game Market 1983

&

After breakfast at the hotel, we got into a taxi and headed back to Myeongsan University.

Through the wide avenues of the Gwanghwamun Gate in pleasant weather, the former Viceroy of Joseon, now used as the National Museum, appeared.

1995. It was a building that was going to be demolished as part of President Youngsam's 'history immediately', so I also saw it for a very long time.

The next day, President Kim Youngsam sent a video to the world that said he wanted to move the entire building, including the conference room, although he was originally going to tear it down.

President Kim Youngsam, who said he would fix the Japanese's bureaucracy, said the bomb was an IMF crisis, but he thought it was an excellent choice to get rid of the building.

At that time, Yuki, who was staring out the window with me, hurriedly turned his eyes to the remnants of the Jeonju Dynasty.

“That building is now a museum, right? ”

“Yes, behind that building was the palace of the Joseon dynasty.”

“How... a king of a country built a building like that in front of his residence. I'm ashamed to be the same Japanese. ”

“ ……. ”

“I told my parents about Joon-Hyuk, and my dad told me. Japan has committed a great offense to Korea, which is probably a great sin even if it is a lifetime penance to Korea, so when you meet Joon-Hyuk, he asked you to remember that. ”

“I can't believe you said that. Yuki's parents are quite awake. ”

“Actually, I haven't talked to Joon-Hyuk yet. My mother is Korean. ”

“Really?"

“Yes. That's why I heard you broke up with your family when you married your mother. That's why my father is very fond of Joon-Hyuk. ”

... You were scoring at Yuki's father in a bird I didn't know...

But Yuki is 20 years old this year and even her older sister, so it would have been a difficult decision to marry Koreans 23 to 4 years ago... It naturally made sense that Yuki's father broke up with his family.

Yuki's dad is amazing, too...

A moment later, the taxi driver dropped me off at a boulevard a little distance from the entrance to Myeongsan University.

As you continue up this path, there is the mountain of the Hundred, which used to sometimes rise and fall as a child.

But since the trip to memory ended yesterday, I'm not here to see Mount Baek...

He tied his heavy bag around one shoulder, saying he got out of the cab.

“What is that? ”

“This? Hmm... a merchandise tool? ”

“Yes? Trade? ”

In fact, there were no fingernails on Korean soil at this time.

So far, Korea has been a step up when it comes to ‘games'.

Of course, even though the NEGA disk, which was fully licensed by Company S, was sold under the name GamDoll, it was more widely known as Mintendo's family.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're saying that the mintendo machine that was made from replicating the family substrate was powerful?

In fact, the fake family created in Taiwan was in some ways much stronger than the real family.

If it is a proper game made in Korea in the future, there was probably a mantra that was released in 'Actonicia Story' made in Somnplay in '94 or‘ Blood, Gitti ’and‘ Princess Makes’ made in the future software.

Especially Mantra, who acquired the license of the Iss Series from Calcom Company in Japan, was very popular as the 'Iss 2 Special’, which was refurbished in the form of a local game.

The East 2 Special, which reconstructed the original scenario to create the original story, is a masterpiece and ruin for the Korean gaming industry.

I remember why it was' ruined ’because of the lack of experience of amateur developers and they released it without fixing an out-of-progress bug. (Although the endpoint could be continued with subsequent patches, very few people have seen the endpoint by completing the patches due to the unstable communication environment.)

Moreover, there was another gold-striking event in the game, which also merged the Korean ‘Legion Myth’ to gain knowledge of the item called 'Legion Sword’.

So why are you suddenly bringing up a story about a gaming company called Mantra?

Actually, I'm meeting someone who's going to be one of the founding members of the Mantra.

When Yuki and I entered a store near Myeongdae University, I noticed a PC store that I had forgotten so much about.

- Mantra's computer--

This is the shop where you picked up the Dragon Warrior 4's Raid House and led me to the game.

It was like a small shop with only a few family cartridges in the window.

At that moment, Yuki, who was looking at the window, called out in an excited voice to me.

“Joon-Hyuk, there's a dragon emblem here too! ”

Oh, my... It's real. The dragon emblem in the corner of Showwin was worth 100,000 won under the Japanese name tag Rare.

Well, they're selling it in secondhand shops in Japan for that amount now, but it looks like a lot more zeroes.

I looked at the dragon emblem I met in Korea for a moment before opening the store and going inside.

“Welcome.”

Along with the sound of walking, a man in his mid-30s walked out, opening the curtain in the shop.

Mantra computers used half of them as game games, while half of them were in your workshop. The store smelled of sleeping noodles, whether he was eating or burning cigarettes in the shop, and the smell of sleeping noodles mixed horribly with the smell of widows.

“I'm here to sell some family games. ”

“Oh, really? I don't have a lot of cash just opened, let's see. ”

You unwrap the heavy bag and place it on the table. The sound of a cough echoes inside the narrow shop.

“... How many did you bring?”

“Thirty? ”

“Thirty dogs? This is... awkward. I wonder if I can buy them all.”

“Please take a look at the item and consider it. ”

“I'll do that. ”

I looked forward to the surprise of him and pulled out a cartridge in his bag.

It was a dragon emblem wrapped in black paper packages as opposed to being sold as egg packs in Japan.

When he received the cartridge from me unconsciously, he took a moment to look at the package with his eyes wide open to see if he suspected his eyes.

“Dragon emblem? But what about this?”

There's only one reason why you're so surprised by the familiar dragon emblem logo.

It's in English.
