Chapter 239 Developing Games

Bai Zirui not only asked Liu Weitao to develop and design the arcade version of Great Wall Cube, but also to develop the handheld version of Great Wall Cube. Handheld game console (Handheld game console), referred to as handheld console, also known as portable game console, portable game console or portable game console

wait.

It refers to a small, specialized game console that is easy to carry and can run electronic game software anytime and anywhere. Nowadays, some mobile phones have added entertainment and game elements, so that the boundaries between mobile phones and handheld consoles are becoming increasingly blurred.

Handheld games originated from the Mattel Electronics Handheld Games series developed by the American company Mattel in 1976. The first product on the market was called Mattel Auto Race, which was the earliest handheld game to use LED in electronic games.

The Mattel handheld console, like the later Game & Watch, is a non-expandable game console. Each console can only play one game; the Mattel handheld console

appearance, big screen

The size, location, and operating devices are all customized according to the game they are loaded with. They are not universal and cannot be passed through like G&W.

Manually replace the chip and screen and become a carrier for other games.

The handheld consoles at that time had the characteristics of short processes and fast pace, allowing players to play and entertain in a short period of time, and were sought after by most players. As the times changed, many handheld game consoles emerged on the market.

In 1980, Nintendo created the world's first LCD screen game handheld Game&Watch (43.4 million sales). The introduction of LCD screen made

The graphics of this true game console come to life.

In 1983, Nintendo launched an improved version of Game&Watch. Since then, the combination of cross keys and AB keys has laid the foundation for electronic games together with Nintendo FC.

The prototype of the console's handle has become the well-deserved originator.

It was indeed the Game Boy era that Nintendo ushered in that truly pushed handheld consoles to historical glory. In 1989, this model used a 2.45-inch display and relied on multiple first-party works such as "Pokemon", "Mario", and "Zelda"

》 and so on, it has achieved nearly 120 million handheld sales, making countless people crazy about it!

With the success of Game Boy, its improved versions GBP, GBL, and GBC were also born. The emergence of GBC allowed many players to enter the world of color.

Handheld games generally have the characteristics of short processes and fast pace. Since their purpose is to provide people with entertainment in a short period of time (such as waiting for a bus or queuing), they do not have complex plots like ordinary video games; at the same time

, due to the limitations of hardware conditions, the pictures and sounds of general handheld consoles are not as good as those of home game hardware of the same period.

With the development of the times, modern handheld consoles have made great progress in game plots, picture quality, music and other aspects, and have also brought a better gaming experience to the majority of players.

Nintendo launched the Game&Watch last year, which also had a cross-key. When Bai Zirui acquired the arcade factory, he asked lawyer He Yaodi to check the patents on the cross-key.

, Yokoi Gunpei didn't register a patent in this area, so he accepted it rudely.

Bai Zirui asked lawyer He Yaodi to help register the world patent for the cross-key and AB keys. The design of the cross-key came from handheld consoles, which can be said to be a historical necessity. For portability considerations, it is a natural design to replace knobs with buttons, and the cross-key is obviously

It is the most suitable design solution. He thinks that in the future, all the world's well-known game companies will use the cross key and pay him patent fees, which makes him laugh when he thinks about it.

Bai Zirui assigned the research and development tasks to Chen Weitao and asked Xu Zhihao to manage the daily affairs of the company. He then came to Central because the renovation of the First Restaurant in Central had been completed in 10 days.

On Halloween, November 1, 1981, Bai Zirui stood in a renovated store in Central and felt it was beautiful. The store was decorated with reference to the decoration styles of several major international catering giants in later generations. It felt a bit out of place with the style of the 1980s.

It is simple and comfortable, giving people a high-class feeling. The brand-new audio equipment plays beautiful music, and it is very quiet listening to the soft music.

Xu Jingli asked: "Zi Rui, you have been out early and late these days. What are you busy with? You don't even care about the decoration of the store?"

Bai Zirui smiled and said, "Sister Jingli, you will know in a few days."

Bai Zirui was very pleased to see more than 100 employees neatly arranged in three rows. Because today is Halloween, all the staff were put on magic robes, neatly and uniformly dressed, and they were very stylish. The old ones led the new ones in the other two stores.

training.

Not only are the waiters pretty, they are all young girls who have more or less attended technical schools and have good English proficiency.

Bai Zirui stood in front of the employees and said loudly: "Our new Central store will start trial operation today. This is our largest store at First, and it represents the image of all our employees and the company. Our aim is 'thoughtful service,

Clean environment and provide customers with safe food rich in nutritional value'.

We at Pfister advocate team spirit and the enthusiastic participation of every employee, and are committed to providing employees with comprehensive training, welfare guarantees and development plans to maximize the potential of each employee. Pfister will always be full of enthusiasm

We open the door to young people who are energetic and have the courage to challenge themselves. We sincerely look forward to your growing up with First and creating brilliance together!"

Bai Zirui's words of chicken soup for the soul made the employees excited and gave them warm applause. Then the marketing director led his colleagues to start the new store opening activities.

First, two dragon and tiger masters began to perform lion dance. The lively scene with gongs and drums attracted countless tourists and office workers. Bai Zirui stood at the door in a suit and leather shoes to greet all the congratulatory partners or guests.

Lou Yuanshan brought Lou Tan, Lou Xiao'e, He Xiao and his son, daughter-in-law and grandson's family, and Yang Xue brought his father Yang Tianci to the scene to congratulate him.

Boss Zhao from the partner packaging factory, Boss Wu from the furniture store, etc. all sent flower baskets to congratulate the opening of the new store. The Causeway Bay branch and the Hong Kong University branch offered congratulations with a 20% discount on all three stores.

Lou Yuanshan said with an amiable smile: "Zi Rui, you are really like a dragon or a phoenix among people. You just came to Xiangjiang from the mainland and you have built such a career in just two months. You are really young and promising, pushing the waves ahead."

Bai Zirui said modestly: "Uncle, that's great. Thanks to the help of my eldest brother and sister-in-law, I have been able to achieve this little success. Compared with my uncle, it's like a firefly competing for the brightness of a bright moon, and it's not worth mentioning.

"

Yang Tianci heard the conversation between Bai Zirui and Lou Yuanshan from the sidelines, saw his humble and polite attitude when talking to his elders, and thought about Bai Zirui's character and abilities he learned from Chen Xueru, and was very satisfied with him.

He then looked at his daughter, whose eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Bai Zirui. Such a young talent got engaged early. He looked at Xu Jingli, who was smiling next to Bai Zirui. Sure enough, as Chen Xueru said, she was as good as his daughter in appearance.

, and has good conduct, but my precious daughter fell in love with a married man, and suddenly she had a headache.

When Bai Zirui saw Yang Xue bringing a middle-aged man of about 40 years old to congratulate him, he guessed that this was his father Yang Tianci. Thinking of Yang Xue's undisguised affection for him, he planned to enjoy the same status as Qi Ren.

Fu's little Jiujiu suddenly felt a little uneasy about his arrival.
