Game Market 1983

Uchimura, who received the game cartridge, went home, and I decided to have dinner with Miyazaki on my way back to the Tamago Shop.

Even though I was going back to the store, lunch is coming up soon, because I thought it would be better to just eat and go inside if I wanted to have dinner with the staff.

Taking the figures of 'Hasegawa Miyuki’, carefully wrapped as if it were just a Shinju, I could feel the way he looked at me everywhere.

‘At least I'll give you a little shopping bag. ’

The bag I was carrying was a briefcase and was not suitable for putting figures in.

“Sir, you're cute. ”

“Haha... I like it everywhere. Let's go inside quickly. ”

Eventually, I stopped by the soba house near Tamagoshop and put Miyuki's figure on the table and sighed for a long time.

I haven't been distracted by a single figure since morning.

“Hey, can I take a look at that figure, too? ”

Miyazaki says I nod, swallowing cold water.

She peels the dried vinyl out of the figure and picks up Miyuki.

“Wow, you really made it. Color expression is good, but how did he think of putting a kimono on a figure? Yuki will like it when he gets it. ”

“Well... I would have liked it better if it were me. ”

“Oh, well, that, too. ”

Miyazaki and Yuki were very close.

At the opening of the Tamago Shop, Yuki visited the Tamago Shop on the first weekend wearing white T-shirts and jeans.

Although she was not very good at selling, she wanted to work here when she found Yuki explaining about the Tamago monster to the children who visited the store.

“But Miyazaki, ”

“Yes?”

“In the past few days, have any players brought a slightly unusual Tamago-san? ”

“Odd Tamago-san? No, I've never seen anything like it. ”

Hmm. I thought I'd see a couple by now, but it's surprisingly quiet.

Then Miyazaki asked me if I cared about what I said.

“Have we launched a new Tamago-san? ”

“Oh, that's not it. But Miyazaki is an employee who explains Tamago-san to children, so it's okay to know in advance. In fact, last month, there was a very small amount of Tamago-san. ”

“Really? Is that a collaborative tamago? ”

Miyazaki has a good pulse, too.

“Yes, that's right. ”

“I was a little disappointed that it was only Tamago-san on the Final Frontier, which one of you had a collaboration with him this time? ”

“Well, do you know a game called Dragon Emblem? ”

“Oh, I've heard of it. ”

It's been four years since we launched the Dragon Emblem, so I can understand what she doesn't know.

In particular, dragon emblems seem to have become a legendary game that only those who know about them recently because the "distribution structure" was very unique.

All the second-hand cartridges were still in custody and haven't been found in the market since last year.

Is that why?

The dragon emblem took first place last month on the rarest items currently available in Pammy Communications.

His second-hand trading amount was what he called a value, including an additional expansion pack to recover the data, but nevertheless became a rare item with no property at all.

Second place is a limited edition of the first edition featuring all heroine cartridges in 'Street Without Me’.

What's third place?

It may seem a little crazy, but it was the first demo cartridge of the Psychic Battle.

It wasn't on the market, but it was made in small quantities and given as a non-sale item, so it's being traded at a high price to a psychotic battle enthusiast?

If you are a collector of unknown weather, you need to have everything from 1 to 10 to relax your mind.

If I fall in one of them, I feel sad for no reason.

‘I think the people who tried to collect this broke their money. There's nothing easy to get either... "

Currently, Dragon Emblem has been researching superfamily users and ranking them monthly on the top of the list of titles they would like to meet in the next series.

Since the Internet was not yet universalized, user and developer communication was conducted in this form of a magazine survey.

And it was created with the wishes of those users, 'Tamago of the Dragon Emblem.'

If you do not adjust the temperatures to the extreme temperatures due to the harshness, the ‘Black Tamago-san’, who died willingly, would be in someone's hands by now.

I hope that Tamago-san reaches out to someone who knows something about the Dragon Emblem.

‘Otherwise, it has such a hard difficulty that I want to throw it away right away. ’

I had dinner with Miyazaki and explained the 'Tamago-san of Dragon Emblem’.

“So it's completely different from the traditional Tamago-san. I'd say he's a little more devious. ”

“That's right. If you ask me about black tamagos, I'll explain what I've told you. ”

“But I'm afraid that this will not overheat the competition for the Dragon Emblem Tamagou. ”

When Miyazaki asked me, I smiled and replied.

“There's a part of that that I've been thinking about. ”

Then she opens her mouth with a chuckle.

“You really heard what Yuki said. ”

“Yes?”

“I heard you're always hiding something. ”

“Did Yuki say that? ”

“Last time I had dinner with you, I heard about you.”

Miyazaki was ashamed of himself and turned to talk.

“Oh, by the way, what's that cartridge you gave Uchimura earlier? The title's a little unusual. ”

“You mean Valentine's Day? ”

“I'm new to Pentagon Soft, so I'm a little concerned. ”

By the way, Miyazaki likes games. I've often seen her play monster battles against the kids who come to the shop as a self-bred Tamago monster.

I asked her because I still had an extra cartridge in my bag.

“Do you want to play Miyazaki, too, if that's okay? ”

“Can I really do that? ”

“There's a super family in the break room, so I'll go home and play for you. ”

&

Valentine's Day.

At a glance, Uchimura might have mistaken it for water, but in fact, it was a ‘horror' inspired by one of the game "Killer of the Clock Tower" and the local game I played when I was a child.

The protagonist of this game tries to confess to his favorite girl based on Valentine's Day's Day, which is a very simple game.

The night before Valentine's Day, on the night of February 13th... a protagonist who secretly confessed to her friends would sneak into school with a letter and return with a letter on her desk.

Is that the end?

If only I could make it back alive.

That night.

After everyone went home, Miyazaki opened the break room door with an anticipated face.

“Sir, they're all gone. ”

“Well done. ”

“Then why is the break room so dark? Is the light out?”

“Miyazaki.”

“Yes?”

“Do you like horror movies? ”

In my question, Miyazaki smiled awkwardly and replied.

“Why the horror movie all of a sudden? ”

“Just curious. ”

I asked her for a couch, putting the cartridge in the super family at the same time as the answer.

“Have a seat over there. I'm going to watch Miyazaki play next to me. ”

Miyazaki hesitated for a moment and slowly picked up the pad. I raised the power button with a slight smile.

Experience cartridges for Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding ~ Valentine's Day remained in play with the creepy BGM without a title screen.

Although the "ghost" appeared depending on the female character who wanted to confess, the trial package excluded the story of Prologue choosing Hiro and was showing the protagonist going straight to school.

“Sir, is this some kind of fear? ”

Standing next to me, I nodded silently, and Miyazaki turned his head to the screen with tears.

“Fooled..”

But it was too late. I swallowed a smile and watched her play.

First of all, Valentine's Day followed a 2D cross-scrolling format. That is, I could only use the run button to run away from something because I could only move left and right.

Fear of a school with no lights out.

You've probably heard of the seven greatest wonders in schools that you've heard of as a child.

A red mask with a ripped mouth.

The sound of a piano playing alone in a music room with no one.

Students studying alone in a dark classroom.

The scene of ’Valentine's Day’ was the place where the 1st degree who fell from the rooftop due to jealousy of 2nd degree fell and died upside down, taking a picture of his head and wandering around school.

Miyazaki tilted his head toward the creepy but familiar BGM over and over again and quickly turned his head toward me.

“Senior, isn't this what the kids call 'dongyo’? ”

“That's right, it's a very slow increase in sound tempo. ”

“I've heard a lot about you.”

Later, the protagonist entered the school grounds, and Miyazaki carefully moved the protagonist back and forth.

The protagonist was able to use the left and right navigation keys and hide under the desk.

And in button operation, there was running buttons and using objects, which is unique.

There was a button called "Hold your breath."

By pressing the Y button, the protagonist was able to hold his breath, while he was able to hide from the ghost's eyes. However, the respiratory gauge has kept the device from holding its breath.

Shortly after hearing my explanation, Miyazaki began to head across the playground to the old teacher building. On Valentine's Day, there were two new teachers and an old teacher, and they prepared puzzle elements like an adventure genre.

Gum gains.....

Miyazaki, who heard a very awkward hinge and stepped into a dark old teacher, first found a switch to turn on the light.

Miyazaki, who found the switch installed on the wall with a creaking footprint, turned on the light with the Select button.

When the light turned on in the dark hallway, Miyazaki took a short breath.

But that was also...

Kuaaang!!!!!!

The light in the hallway flashes with a thunder sound, and the darkness returns.

The BGM that was repeatedly ringing faded away, and the dark corridor was repeating itself for a moment when lightning struck.

“Where should I go..? ”

In Miyazaki's question, I swallowed a smile and replied, "It's the second floor."

She shrugs, manipulating the rudder key to move the protagonist. Miyazaki, who knows the location of the stairs with the mini-map at the top of the screen, is about to take another step.

The screen flashes white and something appears at the left end of the screen.

“Is that...? What is it?”

The swinging of the rope left and right does not seem normal to anyone.
