Presumably, when you were a child in the arcade hall, you must have heard of all kinds of "arcade legends"!
The most well-known ones are the one-coin king of the boxing emperor god, a two-horned alloy slug operator who plays a two-horned player, the Three Kingdoms War Chronicles who can assemble the 5th sword, and so on. Basically in that arcade explosion era, no matter how difficult the game will always have a few players to reach the peak, and like the author of this meng xin under their leadership, although playing arcade is not a smooth ride, but there will always be two big brothers standing around to guide me, or quite comfortable.
However, with the passage of time, more and more high-quality arcade machines have entered the game hall, including the "House of Death 3" that arcade players are afraid to avoid.
House of Death 3 is a zombie shooting game, players only need to continue to shoot the monsters that appear on the screen to pass the level smoothly, but it is difficult for the game developers to set off the game's oppressive atmosphere, the gloomy and low bgm around the surrounding makes people feel a little cool, and from time to time the turn of the head in the screen will meet an upside-down zombie is also frightening.
At that time, such large arcade machines would be placed in a unique position by the arcade boss, and the swallowing rate of 3 or 4 coins at a time for several large arcade machines around them also made many players prohibitive.
Without the blessing of many melon-eating masses, the sense of loneliness that arises in the heart makes the fashionable and young players even more afraid, and even some of the chase sections in the game will reproduce the dream, a large zombie with a skeleton stick in his hand will make the author suddenly wake up at night.
But fortunately, in the next few years, there are also players who continue to challenge the limits, after understanding the sloth, tree spirit and a series of boss playing styles, the eerie horror brought by House of Death 3 is gradually removed, until... The arcade I often visit introduces a horror game called Silent Hill.
This arcade developed by Konami was officially introduced into the country in 2007, because of the gradual rise of PC games at that time, there were very few players who could play in China, so the arcade boss I knew introduced this arcade machine, personally I felt very proud, but unfortunately the good times were not long, and the young author had begun to be afraid after a slight trial.
The arcade version of Silent Hill is similar to the film and television works that everyone knows, and it is through the layered main plot and the horror of the scene construction to make the viewer feel the inner depression. And the arcade version of the story, too, the tawny picture feels like opening an ancient and broken historical document.
At the beginning of the 19th century, a sightseeing boat sailed into Lake Terga in Silent Hill, and a young girl named Hannah with a bear doll looked up at her mother's call and showed a shallow smile, and while her mother showed a slightly bitter face, the subtitle of the young girl Hannah falling into the water appeared in a turn, and the captain who shouted loudly on the side and the other 14 passengers who sailed into Silent Hill were all on the road.
75 years later, the young man and woman came here with their partners and began their adventures in order to decipher the Baikal incident. In the process, you will hear some strange sounds, such as the sudden sound of large ships honking, the mother eagerly shouting the girl's care, etc., and because the game has a double world setting, the player encounters some special places, the whole environment will burn up, like the sunset twilight tone, with the triangle head BOSS who has been chasing with a machete, the immersive sense of oppression arises.
After defeating the Triangle Boss, the two will meet a young girl named Emily on the back rooftop, and in order to fulfill her wish, they agree to go to Lake Terga to find her mother. The journey is not simple, all kinds of strange and fantasy scenes with different postures make people feel that the environment atmosphere is terrifying, and the two men and women finally come to the missing sightseeing ship and start the final adventure.
The climax of the game unfolds, where players will enter the memories of the little girl Emily, the terrifying amusement park scene, the pink cruel humanoid giant rabbit, and the long-killed iron triangle boss, which will continue to chase the two heroes and heroines, during which the changing two worlds are depressing at the same time, and the feeling of dizziness and nausea also follows. But just as the player is busy dealing with the increasingly strong boss, the whole plot begins to close, and the player will know that all this is actually related to the mother of the girl Hannah.
Hannah's mother is the initiator of this incident, it was she who caused the tragedy 75 years ago (Emily was brainwashed to think that she was Hannah), and in her memories, the male and female protagonists will jump down immediately after Emily is thrown into the water, defeating a monster with a huge arm in its mouth, and the whole story will come to an end.
In the final curtain painting, Hannah, who is dependent on her mother, and Emily who talks with Mr. Captain, all show a girlish and pure smile, and the final incident ends with the sightseeing boat that is gradually going away, and the scene where Mr. Captain gently pinches the brim of his hat to express his gratitude to the male protagonist also represents that the people on the ship in 75 years have been redeemed.
If House of the Dead 3 is a hardcore horror game, then Silent Hill is to infect players through the plot and trigger inner resonance. However, in this author also has a question, did not 14 people die on the ship? The rest of the people didn't say it was too miserable.
