章節 62: The popularity of laser guns
Sayuri may not be as skilled in electronic engineering as some of the people in the team.
But following Takayuki's side, she has also nurtured many magical brain circuits.
In this new field of electronic games, you don't necessarily need cutting-edge technological capabilities from the beginning. As long as your imagination is wild enough, you can also make a name for yourself.
After Takayuki left, several employees couldn't wait to queue up to experience the light gun.
They had a much higher tolerance than Takayuki and could still enjoy themselves with a delay of over a hundred milliseconds.
After all, they had never experienced better light guns.
This quality of light gun was enough to satisfy them.
At the same time, they also marveled at Takayuki's and Sayuri's ingenuity.
To think of using the light gun to capture white coordinates to achieve shooting purposes.
This was a thinking mode that had never appeared before.
Sometimes, something isn't as difficult as it seems; it's often just lacking that spark of inspiration.
A few days later, three light gun test machines were sent to Ota Masashi's entertainment hall.
Now Ota Masashi's entertainment hall had officially changed its name, and it should be called Gamestar Entertainment now, with the name Gamestar Entertainment, it could better expand its reputation.
Previously, entertainment machines such as Paichinko and dancing machines had been removed, leaving only red-and-white machine-related game consoles for people to play, while also selling various products related to game consoles, including repair services.
This place had now become a trial ground before the release of new games.
Every player could come over with their proof of purchase of the game console to experience the latest game trial for free three times a week, ten minutes each time.
Players who hadn't purchased the game console could buy entertainment times up to three times for 300 yen each time.
The limitation on the number of times was to allow more players to experience the fun of the game console; otherwise, one person monopolizing the game console would greatly affect the promotional effect of the game itself.
When the light gun was installed, a group of people immediately flocked over, eager to be the first to participate in the game experience.
"Wow, it's a gun-shaped handle. Can this really shoot?"
When they first saw the pistol-shaped handle, they immediately realized what it was, unable to hide their excitement.
So, this was how game consoles could be played?
That's what they thought.
Under everyone's gaze, the first three lucky players entered the trial area, ready to experience the world's first light gun game.
The clerks on the side patiently explained to the customers, "You just need to aim the gun-shaped handle at the screen and pull the trigger."
Even the clerks' eyes lit up. They also wanted to play with this thing, but their work didn't allow them to.
However, these clerks had already made up their minds to play to their hearts' content after closing the shop at midnight.
Nowadays, being a clerk in this entertainment hall was a dream job for many people.
They could be in contact with all kinds of games twenty-four hours a day, and they could play all kinds of games without restrictions.
Some children even began to dream of becoming clerks in this entertainment hall. Being an astronaut or a scientist seemed less attractive compared to this profession in front of them.
One of the players experiencing it at this time was full of excitement, and his hand holding the light gun was shaking slightly. Then he carefully aimed at the target occupying half the screen as instructed by the clerk.
Then he pulled the trigger.
Accompanied by a crisp gunshot sound on the TV, the player's bullet hit very close to the center.
"Congratulations! You've hit it!"
A pixelated slender model appeared on the TV, cheering for the player.
"So, this is how it's played? You just need to aim at the screen. It feels so fun."
"Hurry up, we can't wait any longer!"
Some people began to urge, and whenever someone played for more than ten minutes, they would immediately be urged by the crowd to queue up again, not to delay the time of other players.
The three light gun test machines had only been set up for half a day, and by noon, there was already a long line formed, with many players eager to experience the feeling of the light gun.
Although Japan doesn't ban guns, there are quite strict restrictions on gun ownership, and ordinary people can't own them at all.
So this light gun became a kind of alternative way to experience shooting.
Safe, risk-free, enjoyable for adults and children alike.
In the crowd, Akashi Zejiang was an outside employee of Surui Electronics.
His usual job was just one thing.
That is to study the electronic products of competitors or potential products.
Under the orders of his superiors, you need to experience these products and then generate one or more detailed experience reports.
Even if you feel nauseous, you must continue to experience until the superior above calls to stop.
Before, he had experienced many products that seemed magical but were actually quite boring.
Those things became torturous after a long time of experiencing them. If it weren't for the decent salary, he would probably have given up this miserable job.
But ever since he took on the task of experiencing the red-and-white machine, he had never felt bored for a day.
At first, he played all seven initial games and still felt a little unsatisfied, then the following games took turns to be put on, it seemed that there was always endless fun with the red-and-white machine.
Sometimes, while playing, he would even forget to record the experience report. After being scolded by his boss several times, he would hastily generate a short report to get by, and then continue to play games with public funds, enjoying himself.
And whenever he might feel bored, Gamestar Entertainment always managed to add more playability to the red-and-white machine.
This time, the red-and-white machine had come up with a new activity again, a gun-shaped handle that could give people a feeling of almost real shooting. Of course, this feeling of real shooting was based on the technology of this era.
When he heard that Gamestar Entertainment had come up with a brand new trial game again, he almost rushed over without stopping.
When he came here and saw the light gun, he knew he hadn't come in vain once again.
The light gun didn't even need a matching game to be good; just the form of being able to hold a gun and shoot was enough to surprise people and make them have a strong desire to buy.
But whether it could really be played for a long time still depended on the game itself.
At the entrance, a clerk had already set up the advertisement board for the light gun.
The large selling price was also presented in front of everyone.
Bundled with a game called Duck Hunt for a total of 8,000 yen, you could preorder it now.
This was quite an expensive game in the red-and-white machine games.
But nobody cared; many players directly took out ten thousand yen bills and rushed to buy them.
Although Japan had experienced the bursting of the economic bubble, the consumption power was still strong. Most people could still live a decent life, just a little tight.
But if they really foresaw something they liked, they would still buy it at all costs.
Moreover, these 8,000 yen were much cheaper than the tens of thousands of yen for a mobile phone camera.
