Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"Sir, this is the second-generation light gun produced by a Japanese company. It will definitely be a toy that children will like very much."

In front of a 40-inch TV, the employee is busy debugging.

The light gun was also a product that had just arrived two days ago. It was not until after the arrival that they were temporarily pulled over by the staff of Youxing Electronic Entertainment for training, and then they began to be put on the shelves for sale.

This is actually quite nervous for these employees.

Of course, the most nervous thing is not how complicated the machine itself is, but that these employees often come to play with this thing without paying attention.

This made the manager of the department store here have to order that the TV must be turned off at ordinary times, and the TV can only be turned on when the user is interested in buying, which curbs the momentum of these shop assistants.

After debugging, the clerk handed the light gun to the child.

And the child has already started to take the light gun and aim at each position and start to pull the trigger eagerly.

However, the expected scene of firing bullets did not appear, not even infrared light.

The father frowned very puzzled.

You don't even have the functions of firing bullets and emitting infrared rays. How dare you sell this kind of toy for 199 dollars? Who gave you the courage?

However, as the TV gradually turned on, a beating dog appeared from the screen, and then jumped into the grass in front of the screen.

In the red and white machine, the picture quality and gameplay of duck shooting itself can only be said to be so-so, but the biggest feature is the light gun itself.

Before that, no one had ever imagined developing a light gun game like this.

After that, when Su Rui Electronics and other companies wanted to follow suit, they encountered patent barriers from Zhuyouxing.

If you want to develop a light gun peripheral with similar technology, then I'm sorry, if you dare to do it, we dare to sue you for infringement.

Later, Su Rui Electronics could only find another way to develop other light guns, but there was no progress.

But when they saw that the sales of light guns in Japan are not very popular, it seems that the sales of peripherals and the game body are only a few hundred thousand, which is nothing compared to other games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment that sell millions of sales. .

Under such circumstances, there is even less incentive for other companies to develop light guns.

So up to now, only Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has continued to produce the light gun peripherals, and at the same time developed the second generation.

The light guns of the first generation products are limited to some older TVs of certain models.

With the development of science and technology, this kind of TV has long been eliminated in the United States, and Youxing Electronic Entertainment began to develop better light guns according to the new TV system.

In fact, within Youxing Electronic Entertainment, there are some doubts about Zhuyouxing's insistence on continuing to develop the product of the light gun.

Obviously not making much money, why do you have to continue to invest manpower and material resources, isn't it great to have that time to develop new game consoles, or make new games?

However, Zhu Youxing knew that the real market for light guns was not Japan, but the places where gun culture prevailed in Europe and the United States.

A gun-shaped toy with a safety level infinitely approaching the highest level will be the first choice gift for many adults to buy for their children.

This is the experience summed up in the previous life. A duck-fighting game that only relies on the quality of the rubbish gameplay can sell a total of more than 20 million products including peripherals. This is still the 20 million sales in the 1980s. , which proves that this popular game in Europe and America must have its success.

And this is also a stepping stone to open the US market.

Just when those guys thought they only had Street Fighter and a few other video games to support the scene, I left a hand for you.

The child holds a pistol and stares curiously at the animated dog on the screen.

Then the clerk squatted next to the child, helped the child hold the light gun with both hands and then instructed, "Come on child, aim at the flying ducks on the TV screen with both hands, and then pull the trigger."

The father on the side was also a little puzzled at this time.

This guy wants to aim my son at the TV screen?

how? Could this thing hit the duck on the screen?

This sounds a bit unbelievable, it is a technology that I have never heard of.

In fact, the technology of this thing itself is not complicated, but people in this world have never seen this thing used as entertainment.

The child obediently followed the clerk's instructions to hold the light gun tightly with both hands, then closed one eye and opened the other to make an aiming gesture, and pulled the trigger.

Accompanied by the built-in sound module of the light gun, the sound of a gunshot, and at the same time, the sleeve of the light gun quickly retreats through the electromechanical structure, forming a feeling of recoil firing, and then a flying duck falls into the TV in response to the sound. Among the grass.

And the father beside him was staring at this moment, and he rubbed vigorously, very puzzled.

Is this some magic technique?

Obviously this light gun is only aiming at the screen, how on earth can this thing hit the duck on the screen?

He is not a high-level intellectual, he is just a worker working in an ordinary factory, completely unable to understand the principle of this thing, and even subconsciously began to wonder if this thing is a magical creation.

I heard that there is a legendary school of magic in England. Could this be a magic product produced there?

The father was thinking about a bunch of messy things, but at this time his child was already jumping for joy.

"Wow! I hit a duck!"

The child jumped up happily, and then excitedly aimed at the next duck with the light gun in both hands.

boom!

boom!

After several gunshots in a row, the child laughed even more happily.

And the father on the side has also returned from his thoughts. At this moment, he is watching his child having a great time playing, and suddenly his hands are itchy, and he also wants to experience it.

In terms of authenticity, it must be more real than a real gun.

But this expression of hitting the duck on the screen is very novel, and even he, an adult, has a very strong interest.

The clerk was no longer surprised by the child's performance and his father's eagerness to try.

When this thing was delivered to the store that day, and a special person came to teach them how to play this thing, they all had the same expression.

At that time, they were also amazed that this was some kind of magical creation. After explaining it later, it was a mess of principles that they couldn't remember. In short, it had a scientific basis.

At that time, they looked at the few people who demonstrated the operation method of the light gun as if they were looking at gods.

At the same time, they are also thinking that as expected of the Japanese, they can always create some strange but interesting products.
