Chapter 116 The fiery Balotelli Sheriff
The two nodded and greeted each other, got together, first chatted for a few words, and did not directly talk about the game "Sir Balotelli", but the topic returned to this Christmas promotion.
"Since the boss said this Christmas promotion, we are just releasing those small games?" After all, Seff Dabblewater is a newcomer to Mars Entertainment, and the distribution rights of Mars Entertainment are not in his own hands, so his understanding of some news is far less than that of Sean Dabbley, a veteran who was founded at the beginning of Mars Entertainment.
Hearing Seff Dabblewater's inquiry, Dabble nodded, and raised the special Christmas gift issue in his hand, which was a gift publication from a large shopping mall nearby. Then he flipped through, turned to one of the pages, and then pointed to the other party: "These two PC games are designed by the boss. Although they are all considered under our Mars Entertainment, they are not made by us."
These two games that are about to be released on Christmas are the two Sudoku puzzle games that Jester had previously made the game settings and then asked Carmack to make, both of which are skit-level games running on IBM compatible machines.
When Sefer Dabblewat heard this, he glanced at the Christmas gift publication in Dabili's hand.
There were two PC floppy disks on the place where the other party pointed, and there were colorful stickers on the floppy disk. The name of the game was very strange. One was called "Three" and the other was called "2046". Just look at the name, Seff Daberwater did not see what these two games were like.
In fact, these two games were reply letters from Carmack that Jester received half a month ago. After proceduralizing the code written by Carmack on the letter paper, he did a small-scale test in the company. However, at that time, Seff Daberwater was undergoing the final correction of "Sheriff Balotelli" and was so busy that he did not participate. However, he later heard from colleagues who participated in it that these were two very interesting mini games.
"A very good game, designed by the boss himself. Although it is smaller than "Cube", it is very interesting and addictive to play, and it is not inferior to the "Mine-Sweeping" designed by the boss before. This time this Christmas, our company has no new games except your "Superman Balotelli", so the boss will use these two to charge it." Dabilly explained with a smile.
The prices of these two sketch puzzle PC games are indeed not high. The price of the two games is only 25 US dollars each, which is much lower than the price of 30 to 40 US dollars for ordinary PC games. Moreover, if the two games are purchased at the same time, you can also get a discount of 5 US dollars. If you buy them in several flagship stores issued by Fengxing or chain franchise stores across the country, you can also get another discount of 5 US dollars on the basis of 45 US dollars.
Basically, you can get a discount of up to 20% off when buying at the same time, which is a very cheap price for new games.
GAME magazine previously wrote a very long article to introduce these two games. After all, it is Jester's magazine. Adrian is particularly attentive when playing, and the playability of these two games is indeed worthy of a big blow. This mess of blowing has also made many computer game players very interested in these two Sudoku puzzle games that Mars Entertainment will be released on Christmas.
After all, GAME magazine's evaluation of these two games is a game that only smart people can play.
In this era, no one who likes to play computers is a smart person.
Actually, just think about it and you will know who will admit that he is a stupid person?
But there are still a large number of fans of Mars Entertainment who are somewhat dissatisfied with Mars Entertainment's delay in the launch date of "Fighting City". Many readers wrote to the magazine hope that the magazine could hand over their letters to Mars Entertainment, telling the designers of Mars Entertainment not to do things that are not unfaithful. What they need to do the most is what they promise to players - to release "Fighting City" on Christmas.
But they made a mistake, they were liars, deceiving the players' feelings.
Jester doesn't care about this statement. He knew too much about this situation in later generations. These players are all jitters. Even if the game companies they like will be delayed, they will only complain a few times. When their games are really released, they will still buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, when their games are really released.
In fact, the official version of "City of Fierce War" is indeed ready. If it is really released on Christmas, it will be fine. Just started making this game a few months ago, so Jester planned to do so.
But because next month is the CES exhibition, Jester thought that he could not come up with any other heavyweight PC games besides "City of Fierce War", so he delayed the official release of this game by more than a month, and was preparing to officially announce at the CES exhibition that this game is already a very different game from the DEMO trial version.
Jester recently put down everything at hand, and together with Mark Seni and his team that produced "Avengers", he created a demonstration level with ATI's sixteen-bit graphics card that is far more gorgeous than the eight-bit computer. This level was designed by Jester with "Prince of Persia" as a reference. He wanted to fully demonstrate how gorgeous the graphics of a game can reach under the processing of ATI's new sixteen-bit graphics card.
Jady's House has just been open for less than an hour, and lined up in front of its door. After Dabilli and Daberwater, who have been watching this direction in the distance, they also showed joy on their faces. Daberwater's smile is the most obvious. After all, today it is officially released to players. He designed the game himself.
"Congratulations." Dabilly congratulated him.
Although Dabwart had a happy look on his face, he said embarrassedly: "Maybe they are not satisfied after playing."
"This is simple. Let's go in and see if these players like your game or not?" Dabilie smiled.
Jadei House is the arcade hall that Jester first came to Los Angeles to promote. After making a fortune with Mars Entertainment games, the owner Jadei also moved the store to a more prosperous area and expanded the area a lot. In addition to a large number of Mars Entertainment games, there are also many arcades from other game companies. However, Mars Entertainment games are placed in the most conspicuous location in the arcade hall, which is also one of the obligations of Mars Entertainment arcade game franchise stores.
After entering the interior of Jady's House, the two were also shocked by the scene in front of them. In the most conspicuous position, the entire row of thirty machines was "Sir Balotelli", but even so, behind each machine, there were long queues, and the queue of machines closest to the gate was outside the arcade hall - the one Dabilly and Daberwater saw outside.
Moreover, almost every player who is playing the game "Sheriff Balotelli" has a look of attention, staring at the screen tightly, as if he is completely addicted to the game. The people queuing behind him are constantly turning their eyes to the arcade screen, with a look of longing in their eyes, and they want to be playing themselves.
"This arcade hall has thirty machines at one time? This is OK at the beginning. After a while, there will be more shipments, so there will be not so many people playing this game at all, right?" Daberwater also showed a hint of joy when he saw this hot scene, but he immediately became confused again. While he said, he pointed to the other arcades next to him. There are all Mars Entertainment games here. Except for "American Cubes" and "Snowman Brothers", there are at most about ten games, and the other games are only seven or eight. Even so, these arcades were not fully occupied, and only about eighty percent of the machines were used.
Hearing Dabird's words, Dabird smiled, he knew about this, so he explained.
"The bosses of these arcade halls are not stupid. Haven't you seen the billboards where you just entered the door and exchange them for game coins? The game coins for playing "Sir Balotelli" are the most expensive, with a game coins of three dollars. When the game was first released, it was the time when the most people played. And only the franchise arcade halls can get the goods first. Because of this disguised monopoly, his business will definitely be good during this period. After a while, the market gradually saturates, he will sell a part of his extra machines at a 20% discount. Anyway, he has already made a fortune during this period."
Hearing Dabilly's explanation, Seif Dabblewater nodded suddenly.
The two of them didn't need to continue watching. Judging from the reaction of this arcade, the popularity of this game has become a foregone conclusion.
In the more than a month, as the number of arcade substrates of "Salter Balotelli" was sent out, a wave of Balotelli fever gradually formed throughout the United States. The amiable and brave image of Sheriff Balotelli became popular throughout the United States beyond Jest's expectations, especially in the western United States, where these cowboy atmosphere was the strongest.
Countless children were talking about the levels in "Sheriff Balotelli" when they were in school. In the end, did the sheriff and his partner rescue their daughters, whether they killed those bad guys, and whether there were magical alien hidden levels. It is said that there are Zone 51 and Martians in it. Some of the people who can play the level at the bottom are bragging about how fun and exciting the final level is. Every time they talk, they always surround a large group of listeners.
Of course, countless people have learned the sheriff's lines in the game, and even many real policemen have become fans of Sheriff Balotelli. Even the sales of the western-style hats worn by Sheriff Balotelli in the game have shown signs of a significant increase in a short period of time.
Especially as Christmas approaches, countless children are pestering their parents to ask for the figure of Sheriff Balotelli for their gifts this year. Unfortunately, Jester has not authorized this yet, so Sheriff Balotelli’s figure is difficult to buy.
Tomorrow, Jester will fly to Las Vegas with his team to attend the 1985 CES exhibition that opened a few days later. He has already received specific news before that Nintendo has set its new product launch on the morning of the day after the opening of CES, and Nintendo did not hide it from it. This time they are about to announce their new game console that will be officially released in the United States soon.
However, the verbal statement that Nintendo had revealed before was not the game console. They called it a family entertainment dispute, not a game console.
Chapter completed!
