Game Market 1983

“Hello, I'm Kang Jun-hyuk from Pentagon Soft. Well, first of all, I love bullying you. like dragon emblems, psychic battles, streets without me, Valentine's Day. ”

That was my first greeting.

Then, the users who gathered at the venue looked dumbfounded by my ridiculous greetings.

“Wow, I didn't know it when I played it one by one, but when I put it all together like that, it really pisses me off. ”

“Yeah, I only remember shitting blood to clear all four of them. ”

“Oww! I was crying on my own in a street where I wasn't there, and I was so mad at my mother. ”

“I got my back kicked by my girlfriend. That's why you cried when I lent it to you.

She cried, I cried, and the room was just a sea of tears. ”

“I live in Raon because of the Dragon Emblem, but unfortunately, it's simultaneous. We have to make it to Final Frontier 4 by launch date. ”

“I'm not a Pentagon softball game, but it was really fun even though the psychic battle was tough, and the Feud Mode was so fresh at the time that I remember spending the night with my brother. A follow-up.”

“That's a tough one. Mintendo owns the copyright. ”

“Well, that's true. ”

I just recited a few sentences in the prepared greeting, and the users began to murmur about my game.

I waited for a moment for the atmosphere to subside before speaking.

“First of all, as you know, Raon is not cheap for portable devices. 29,800 yen just for the price of the device. It's more expensive than a superfamily in Mintendo. Instead, I was able to cooperate with Stan de Parties to dramatically lower the cartridge price. The simultaneous releases of Final Frontier 4 and Street Fire2 are 5,300 yen each, which is about 3,000 yen cheaper than the soft prices of other companies. I will not exceed 6,000 yen for Rom Cartridge titles developed in Raon. ”

“Ouch!! I like that.”

“Yes, it's much better if the device is a bit expensive, but the soft price is much cheaper. Recently, the value of the super family cartridge has come to close to 10,000 yen.”

“Yes, the price of cartridges has been going up ever since they were launched, and now I'm afraid to buy a game. What if I bought one? What if it's just a little landmine? ”

As they say, recently released games in Mintendo have been too expensive for consumers.

However, Japan is still better off.

In the case of South Korea, the Super Family game has not yet been released, so the title that was crossed in Japan was sold for about ₩ 180,000.

In addition, there were many times when the title was popular, it was over 200,000 won.

When I was a kid, I went to Yongsan to buy Final Frontier 6 with my friend, and was taken away by my scary brothers, and went to buy Final Frontier with the emergency money that I had hidden away. I remember giving up for ₩ 240,000 for a cartridge and returning.

I then added a description of the new cartridge method.

“Flash memory cartridges, which will be released with dragon emblems in the future, will also be available for download at affordable prices in each game shop across the country as much as you can read and write. ”

“Download? What's that? ”

As long as I am not a user who enjoys PC communication together, the word download sounded very unfamiliar. Finally, I added an additional easy explanation on how to download.

Then one user who had heard all my stories shouted.

“Huh? So if you erase the game inside to get another one, you have to buy it again later? ”

“No, it's not. If the code in the cartridge matches your personal information, you can download it for free at any time. ”

“Oh!”

But momentary elasticity, this time the other side of the question came up.

“What if I want to play more than one game in a Flash cartridge? Do I need to delete my existing game? ”

Even with a fairly sharp question, I didn't lose my smile.

I can't let the developer hesitate in front of the gamers.

“The Flash memory cartridge is coming in two versions. ”

“Two versions? ”

“Yes, it's a low capacity version that can only store one game and a high capacity version that can store two games. Of course, if you are purchasing a low-capacity model, you will need to clear the game installed inside in order to play another game, as you just asked. ”

“Oh, that's too bad. ”

“But I can get it back later. That's good.”

The cost of the flash memory to read and erase data is very expensive. I also guessed that the unit price was low, 11,800 yen. And the high dose was 19,800 yen.

If the download was activated in the future because it had to suffer a slight loss every time I sold it, I would have no choice but to see the revenue there.

But technology is going to get better and better, and by this time next year, maybe we can lower the cartridge price of Flash Memory a little bit, or we can launch a bigger one.

Once launched, the console led the market for at least five to six years, in which it had the advantage of gradually lowering the unit price of the device, depending on technological advances.

? “But the sale of software for downloads using flash memory cartridges will be about 4,300 yen cheaper than Rom Cartridge Soft, about 1,500 yen cheaper."?

Then the atmosphere began to flow in a form that convinced him to some extent.

? "At the same time these days, a single game soft is really cheap. ”

"But you won't get it if you erase it once, will you? I think the Pentagon cares more about its users. ”

? “From Pentagon Soft? I've never bought one and regretted it.

I have to go with Rom Cartridge. ”

It's the same game, but it gives us some choice. ”

"I quickly captured and answered some of the most important things in my conversations.

? “If you are collecting games as usual, you can also purchase a Rom Cartridge as before. Flash memory cartridges are for parents and students who are reluctant to continue buying gaming software for their children.

Just buy the game in the form you want. ”

? At first, even the tilted users started to feel cheerful.

· After the atmosphere of the venue warmed up, I signaled to the projector's staff. The employee nodded to my signature and activated the projector that sprinkled on the Battlezone relay.

"Now, let me tell you about our new piece of Pentagon Soft that you're looking forward to. The first game I want to introduce you to is this piece!! ”

? “Hot!! ”

♪ With a short duet ♪ Sleep differently like a beautiful woman slips in a low position, Are the users suddenly regenerated? I started to get excited about the animated video.

"Oh!!" What is it? Is it the Pentagon's new book? ”

Shush!!

At that moment? A woman leaping high on the ground, revealing her tight figure in the white moonlight, turning into an aerial swarm? I started running, stepping on the outside of the building.

What is the camera angle in the video? You lit up her whole body like a 360-degree movie, her face closed up at the end? At that moment, the same voice leaked from their mouths.

? “Azsa Ren!? ”

? “What!? No way!! ”

"Wait, he looks like him, but he has a different hairstyle or outfit. ”

"Can't be Psychic Battle 2!? But it can't be. ”

♪ And then the video changed and this time he was wearing a leather jacket ♪ A short cut of a woman appeared on a bike.

♪ On a giant bike ♪ As she races through the city, she looks up at the intersection surrounded by tall buildings and starts pulling the slottle hard.

♪ Behind her at the same time ♪ Red lasers pour out of pursuit vehicles, and she moves her bike from side to side? I barely escaped.

Then he turns the big bike around the ground and fires a pistol at the car.

♪ Back then ♪ Again? Her face is closed up and horrified inside the chairman.

? “Knng!! Ryu Hwa-young this time!? ”

"That's right, psychic battle!! ”

"Wow!!!!!!? I thought I'd never see you again!!!! ”

? “Ugh...? Take all my money, Pentagon? You guys!! ”

"With only two appearances, the president flipped over. It was also proof that there were so many people waiting for the psychic battle.

"Characters resembling Ryu Hwa-young constantly run through the city at an incredible speed to spray the car chasing them, and the chase continues to make their hands sweat even as they watch the video."

The opening of the 'Psychic Force’, made of ultra-precious quality, was asked by Hoshi Mamoru, the director who will make a name for himself as the 'Striker.’

"Eight minutes worth of video production?" You're so close, it's quality. And the scene proves it? There was.

♪ Bringing colourful, downtown nightlife, in it ♪ The protagonists who remind me of the psychic battle are fighting each other as they head into the city.

"Four women and four men aiming at each other's lives, and then a laser shot from a car hits Ryu Hwa-young's motorcycle," Her light body bounces off with inertia.

It was then.

? “Aaaaah!!! ”

♪ With the windshield of a broken car sticking out a long tongue ♪ The jumper pulls out a spear from behind his back. At that moment, a red spot appeared on the center of his forehead.

"Ryu Hwa-young, who was bounced off the motorcycle, twisted his body with a nasty rub and pointed a pistol at him.

“Ice Bullet!! ”

Paaaaang!! As soon as the flower of ice rose from his forehead and his neck snapped and flew off, he immediately landed on the ground, fixing his neck bone, which was rattling.

“Th-that's cool.”

I was impressed by the battle scenes at the very fast speeds of the users and focused on the screen.

The cystic force's genre name was naturally reminiscent of the 'Second Speed Hyper Battle’ as if it was a dragon ball.

‘Obviously, you made me a lot of money in a short period of time.’

Later, Ninja jumped into his arms and remembered the propaganda, looking like Azsa Ren, toward the heavy lifting of the collapsing building with one hand.

- Follow-up to Psychic Battle. -Second Speed Hyper Battle. Psychic Force. Game center's up and running this winter. -

“What!? Arcade Games!? ”

“Ahhhh!! Could this be an act of war!? Awesome.

Everyone here was shocked at the same moment as the promotional video. The black tent that was in the middle of the users rises up.

“Huff!! ”

Like the static image of the animation you just saw, Uchimura's giant diorama was created.

It was giving away the tension of 'Psychic Force’.

“Phew... When will I wait until winter...”

While watching the figures, I raised my mouth slightly and held the microphone in my hand.

“Thank you. We have some users who are tired of staying with us all night, so I will introduce you to a second game right away. ”

“Oh, I see something else. ”

I look around the crowd for a moment before turning my head to one side and opening my mouth.

“I'd like to introduce you to a writer who's been working with the Dragon Ball to create a sensational basketball boom in Japan. Inosita in Slammerdunk. Can you come up to the stage, please? ”

“S-slam dunk? ”

Inosita, the original cartoonist named Slamdungk, climbed up to the top and grabbed Mike with trembling hands.

“I've also had a hard time hiding the existence of this title to this day. When you said you wanted to play my work at Pentagon Soft, I was a little confused, but I'd like to share my work with a little more diverse people. This is how we found you in the game.

“Wow!! ”

“Dammit... I thought I'd just buy a Final Frontier and Spa 2, but I'm short on money!!! ”

“How much are you trying to make me spend today?”
