53 A baseball player's dream

These programmers are exposed to game production for the first time in their lives.

They were also opened up to a whole new field by Zhu Youxing, and for the first time they understood that the original program could be written in this way.

It's not like I haven't written similar program code before, but there was no concept of this being a game at the time.

It wasn't until the appearance of Zhuyouxing that their thinking changed.

Then under the guidance of Zhu Youxing, they created the first game in their lives.

When baseball players could swing a baseball on the screen for the first time.

When the character can perform the throwing action according to the control of the controller, everyone involved is very happy.

This is what they created. They created a baseball world in electronic information.

Although it is still very rough and the pixelated picture is quite crude, it is still exciting enough.

Some people may even be so excited that they can't sleep at night.

Some people will also become addicted to the game world they create and cannot extricate themselves.

In fact, this baseball game can only be considered barely interesting. It is completely harvesting the baseball craze in Japan. If you are not interested in baseball, you will definitely not be interested in this game. This is a game with a very specific target group.

Already.

But that's enough.

Japan's fanaticism about baseball can completely offset some of the game's flaws.

But no matter how much these programmers like the game, they will still worry that the game will not sell well on the eve of its official release.

You don’t need 40,000 or 50,000 copies, you only need 20,000 or 30,000... No, that’s too many. It’s impossible for the game you make to sell that many. I’m not a high-quality game made by President Zhuyou. As long as it can be sold,

Ten thousand is enough.

If they can sell 10,000 copies and are popular, they will feel super accomplished.

Even the calmest Tsukino Aya could not help but become nervous because of this.

She seldom slept, and she stayed awake for several days in a row, staring at the computer screen at home.

Five of the screens were frantically refreshing the latest data.

She simply used her computer skills to start acting as a troll on the Internet, posting on various forums to promote the Famicom and the latest Super Baseball Series.

The release date has quickly arrived.

Today is Thursday, a day when most adults go to work and a time when children go to school.

But at this moment, there are many children lining up in front of many shops. Some of them are holding a pile of 150 coins in their hands, and some are simply holding piggy banks, with excitement shining in their eyes.

They vowed to buy the Super Baseball Series as soon as possible and then experience the feeling of being on the field.

Among them, there are also many adults.

They simply skipped work and came over to queue up to buy the Super Bowl.

In addition to these people, there are also some otakus who may not leave their homes for dozens of days. They all willingly come out and line up to buy the latest games.

Newspaper editor Tian Chong was one of the many people waiting in line.

This time it was not his child Oda Chong who asked him to come over to buy games, but he came on his own initiative.

In fact, he has always had a dream in his heart.

That's becoming a baseball player.

He has been influenced by baseball since he was a child, and by the time he reached junior high school, he was already one of the school's main baseball players.

At that time, based on his baseball performance in school, he was almost ready to be selected as a professional baseball player.

However, due to a combination of circumstances, he had an accident not long after passing the selection and injured his knee, leaving permanent sequelae.

He also missed out on being a professional baseball player.

This became a lifelong regret for him.

Even now, he still misses the past occasionally.

But as I grew up and had children, this became a dusty memory.

Originally, his mood would probably calm down completely over time, and he would no longer think about baseball.

However, when he saw an advertisement for the Super Baseball Series posted on the street, his heart that had been quiet for many years was once again aroused.

'In the game, become a professional baseball player, overcome obstacles in the baseball league, and win the highest honor in the country.'

'You may have had regrets, you may have fantasized about becoming a professional baseball player.'

'Then the Super Bowl will fulfill your wish and give you the chance to become a professional baseball player in a video game!'

'Give you a baseball player's dream'

It can be said that this advertisement deeply stabbed his long-lost memory.

Beautiful memories of baseball were awakened again.

So, he has to buy the Super Bowl anyway.

Among the people waiting in line, there were many who felt the same as Tian Chong.

It may be a bit reluctant to experience the feeling of professional baseball in the game, but it is still enough to make people willing to take out their wallets to buy it.

And it’s not too expensive in the first place.

You can buy the game by saving some money on drinking, which is a great deal.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the door of the store slowly opened, and the people in line immediately started to stir. They couldn't wait.

Be sure to buy the Super Bowl as soon as possible.

Tian Chong felt the same way at this time.

He looked towards the door of the store with sharp eyes, and then, with sharp eyes, he saw a familiar figure.

Oda Chong, his son.

His son was actually closer to the queue than himself!

What's going on? Aren't you guys supposed to go to school today?

He suddenly remembered that Oda Chong got up much earlier than usual today, and ran out without even eating breakfast, saying he was going to school.

Did you come here in advance to buy the game?

You stinky boy! Watch if I don’t spread your ass when I get home!

But having said that, this brat got in line earlier than me and could buy the game earlier than me.

So he immediately walked out of the team and came to Oda Chong's side.

"You brat, how dare you skip class!"

Tian Chong looked angry.

Xiaoda, who was queuing up and staring at the line in front of him, was suddenly startled. He looked back in horror and found that it was his father.

"Dad...Dad?! Why are you here?!"

"I... of course I saw that you little guy was acting strangely today, so I followed you here. I didn't expect you to skip class!"

Oda Chong was devastated. He never expected that he would be so unlucky to meet his father here.

If I had known earlier, I should have run farther away and queued up at another sales place.

But at that time, he thought that if he traveled further, he might have to wait in a longer queue, but he didn't expect to meet his father here. It was really unlucky!

"Dad...listen to my explanation, today..."

"I'll take care of you when I get back. Just wait in line here, buy your things, and come home with me!"

Oda Chong: "???"

He almost thought he heard wrongly.
