Game Market 1983

< EP 45: Tokyo Game Show. (5) >

“In other words, today is the release date of the second episode of Dragon Emblem. ”

“Huff, today!? ”

“Today!? ”

Gamers who thought they could make it through the launch day looked frightened at the fact that the dragon emblem had already been released.

The big site is now a Tokyo outdoor bar.

It was about an hour by train to Akihabara, where the Pentagon Shop is located, so it was not that far.

Is that so? The gamers gathered in front of the booth look anxious and shake their butts and don't know what to do.

If we run to Akihabara right now, can we buy the Dragon Emblem? ’

"But you can't just ignore the presentation you just started..."

There must have been a lot of thoughts crossing my mind.

“I'm not the only one uncomfortable standing here, am I? ”

“Oh, this is driving me crazy...”

I wanted to run away right now, but I couldn't miss the game show, so I felt hesitant just looking at my face.

I spoke in a calm voice to reassure them.

“We have plenty of dragon emblems. We will also be in the 2nd quantity starting at 7pm, so you can buy a Dragon Emblem at all events on the Tokyo Games Show. ”

“Oh... thank God. ”

“Yeah, I was thinking of running to Akiba right now after the real Pentagon presentation. ”

I clenched my neck for a moment to concentrate the gaze of the louder users, then opened my mouth.

“Then let's finish our presentation. First, let me explain the world of dragon emblems…”

As I progress, a huge map appeared on the screen.

“The second episode of Dragon Emblem is a subtitle of 'Age of Wars’ in which two forces, the human and the maestro, are fighting each other. Humans' Node shines in blue. And the red glow area is the Horse Node. ”

“Oh, this looks like a giant piece of land. ”

In an appropriate analogy, people nodded and looked at the screen.

“That's right. After clearing Hardcore Mode in the first episode, users were able to choose between two forces. If you have masterpiece play data in Raon, you can start a second episode and create a character with a slightly special title. That is... the position of commander. ”

“Ugh…? Commander, what is that? ”

Then, like answering the user's question, I remembered the commander's appearance expressed in 2.5D on the large screen.

The knight who flew his cloak armed with pure white armor was a human commander even as he pretended to be, and the devil who spread his huge wings and wrapped his arms around him meant the Demon Commander.

“A commander is literally the leader of each force. They can carry up to five people depending on their command level. They are unusually able to leave for hostile territory. There you will find rare items including armor. As a precaution, the second episode of Dragon Emblem is a completely different option, even if it's the same weapon. Some armor increases critical hit rate by 3%, while others increase critical hit rate by 8% on the same armor. ”

At that moment, an inventory of human commanders is opened on the screen, with helmets, armor, shoulder guards and bracelets. And huge jewelry, including panties and boots, passed by. But what's even more amazing is...

“Huff!! The graphics vary depending on the armor!! ”

“Wow!! Amazing!!"

Though it was practically natural to think that the graphics would change with armor, in the mid- '90s it was not uncommon to play games where the graphics would change with equipment.

Although there were several models that only changed colors in the same armor, at this rate, the users almost turned their eyes to get new armor and weapons.

I opened my mouth with a satisfied look at the character who quickly switches between different equipment on the screen.

“There is also a legendary item inside which only 1% of the users of the Drug Dragon Emblem can have. For those of you who are curious, I'm here to show you a set of rare grade equipment. ”

Pa!!

As all the jewelry compartments returned to the rendum, people flourished in the appearance of a set of legends.

“Karas the Sniper!? ”

A Ranger in a slick leather armor with a giant bow shows Karis, one of the heroes of the Dragon Emblem.

“Can you match the equipment of an old hero? ”

“Oh, it's kind of cool, to be honest, but at the same time it's really nauseating. What kind of trouble do I have to go through to get that? ”

“Look at the stat next to it... I don't know what level it is, but it's equipped with 40 full stat corrections. ”

“What a legend...”

“I still want it. If I had charis, I'd have croel or some other set of heroes. Like the pyrotechnicist Mirea...”

“M-Mirea!!! ”

“Oh, that's good!! ”

Gamers started bragging about the heroes they liked one by one.

“Of course, all the hero equipment you're talking about is ready. and it's going to be updated later. Let me leave the introduction to the character for a moment and explain how it actually works this time. ”

Next to the stage, Uchimura and Hayashi were seated at the complete raon, respectively.

They picked up a CD case of dragon emblems on the table and presented it to the users, then mounted the CD on the complete raon.

“Oh!! Dammit! I can't... see the CD and I want to buy it again.”

“I can't. After the game show and all, I'm going to Akiba right now. ”

Uchimura and Hayashi also grabbed the gamepad with a slight smile, whether they enjoyed the reaction of unsettled fans.

Shortly after a different profile screen appeared on both sides, people turned their elongated heads to the left and to the right and started comparing Uchimura and Hayashi's characters.

Uchimura's class, which had nothing, was' unknown mercenaries’ and Hayashi's class, which spanned a whole body in pure armor, was‘ first class commanders’.

“Let's get this game started right away. ”
