章節 199: The Computer Chronicles featuring Doom in Episode
After KiShin's Doom began gaining recognition among video game enthusiasts, its sales surged. The same phenomenon occurred with Apple Macintosh OS 7, as fans were captivated by Doom's impressive graphics, sound, and fast-paced gameplay.
One dedicated fan, Richard Louis, became addicted to Doom and eagerly spread the word to his friends, gradually increasing the game's popularity. This grassroots movement gained momentum until Doom became widely known.
The game's popularity reached a point where even the media took notice. Numerous outlets covered and interviewed individuals proudly wearing Doom-themed shirts, further amplifying the game's fame.
The media coverage started with the popular TV show "The Computer Chronicles," broadcasted on the Public Broadcasting Service. This show featured Doom, contributing significantly to the game's widespread recognition.
Host Stewart Cheifet remarked, "We're aware that the gradual rise in popularity of revived video games has even impacted the computer industry." Pausing for emphasis, he continued, "But did you know that an unprecedented video game breakthrough has just occurred without your knowledge?"
Following these words, Stewart Cheifet approached a Macintosh OS 7, took a seat in front of the Apple computer, and proceeded to boot it up.
Turning to the camera, he declared, "If you're at home and have yet to catch wind of this video game, what you are about to witness marks a revolution in the world of gaming."
Meanwhile, viewers, who were computer enthusiasts at home and unfamiliar with the video game Doom, were eagerly curious about what host Stewart Cheifet was about to unveil.
As they observed, Stewart Cheifet powered up the Apple computer. Some viewers, noting the computer brand, remarked, "Apple Computer? Their operating system can't even be compared to Microsoft..."
Following the boot-up, the camera zoomed in on the computer screen. Stewart Cheifet took control of the mouse, and the camera captured the cursor as it approached the icon labeled Doom.
As the camera honed in on the computer screen, Stewart Cheifet's voice resonated, saying, "Everyone, some of you may be familiar with this video game, while others might not. Allow me to introduce you to Doom."
Following his introduction, Stewart Cheifet proceeded to open the Doom video game on the Apple computer. White text against a black background emerged, displaying the copyright symbol followed by "KiShin." As the camera captured this, the black background faded, revealing the title "Doom" accompanied by an intense musical theme.
While the camera was fixed on the screen, viewers unfamiliar with Doom looked on with curiosity as Stewart Cheifet's voice filled the air. He mentioned, "Before I forget to mention, this video game was developed by KiShin for Apple Computer."
This revelation surprised viewers at home. Developed by KiShin for Apple Computer? How did they miss that?
The camera continued focusing on the computer screen, revealing the title of the video game, "Doom," and the prompt "Press the key to start." Stewart Cheifet pressed a key on the keyboard to initiate, and a gunshot sound effect echoed. Following this, viewers noticed various options beneath the Doom title, prompting Stewart Cheifet to randomly select one.
Subsequently, as the video game Doom commenced, both those familiar and unfamiliar with Doom witnessed on broadcast television the groundbreaking scene where the camera captured the first-ever first-person shooting video game, Doom.
For those viewers previously unaware of the video game Doom, seeing it featured on today's episode of The Computer Chronicles piqued their interest. Watching Stewart Cheifet actively engage in playing Doom, relentlessly shooting enemies amid intense yet captivating sound effects and a gripping musical theme, captivated their attention.
Stewart Cheifet felt the intensity while playing the video game Doom. Randomly choosing the difficulty level to "difficult," he found the game challenging and was promptly defeated by enemies, considering he had only played it a few times.
"Oops, I died," Stewart Cheifet's voice resonated as the camera focused on the computer screen. He continued, "As you can see, this video game was the first-ever first-person shooting game ever made."
The camera shifted to Stewart Cheifet, who added, "Developed by a Japanese video game company, it's said to have revived the video game industry and gained popularity within the sector." Pausing, he continued, "Regardless of the claims, one thing I can affirm is that KiShin's creation, Doom, is a revolutionary video game. It was so groundbreaking in the computer world that it was hard for my show, The Computer Chronicles, to overlook!"
After making this announcement, the camera zoomed in on Stewart Cheifet as the tech or futuristic beat of his TV show played in the background. Stewart Cheifet added, "If you're eager to experience the video game Doom, you can exclusively play it on the Macintosh OS 7 platform and its subsequent versions."
Upon hearing this, viewers at home who had intended to purchase and install the game on their Microsoft OS-based HP computers expressed immediate frustration with furrowed brows. "Come on! I just want to play the game; why do I have to buy another computer!?" they exclaimed.
Host Stewart Cheifet seemed to anticipate the viewers' reactions as he reassured, "I understand some of you might feel frustrated that Doom is exclusively available on the Apple Computer platform. However, I can assure you, if you invest in an Apple computer to play Doom, it will be worth it!"
Most viewers, predominantly computer enthusiasts, perceived Stewart Cheifet's words as a promotion and advertisement for the video game Doom. Witnessing the impressive graphics and gameplay, they couldn't help but feel enthused about the game.
Unbeknownst to them, Stewart Cheifet and The Computer Chronicles program were being compensated by Apple for marketing. This move stemmed from Apple's impatience, considering KiShin's reliance on word-of-mouth wasn't meeting their expectations.
Following this episode of The Computer Chronicles, Apple's higher-ups were not disappointed; the sales of their Apple computers surged. Several media outlets also began to take notice of the video game Doom, hailed as a breakthrough in the world of video games. The fact that Doom was developed by the Japanese company KiShin, known for making waves in the gaming industry, added to its allure. Moreover, the popularity of Jurassic Park remained steadfast, with people absorbing the fact that the film had grossed over a billion dollars.
