If we want to talk about the traditional arts of the Chinese nation, I am afraid that in addition to the infrastructure that makes everyone proud, it must be a world-renowned cuisine.
Chinese can eat, can eat, pay attention to eating, and are unique on five continents. The obsession with eating has also spread to various places, and gamers have been deeply affected. Although a game is influenced by the culture of the North and the South, the name, character nickname, and even the name of the move are different, but when using blood replenishment props, the term "eat" is used uniformly.
Why are players so obsessed with the phrase "eat blood"? I am afraid that this is inseparable from the era of the "arcade machine on the tip of the tongue".
In that era when it had just left the eight-bit machine, the arcade machine's function that far exceeded the FC and other hosts at that time made many players linger. However, thanks to the powerful function of the arcade at that time, players can finally see what the props that are usually used to replenish blood are really!
First of all, take the familiar Dinosaur Kombat, a game in which a staggering seventeen items are used to replenish health, and these foods are displayed on the arcade screen. It is no exaggeration to say that these things together can even form a Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
The food in Dinosaur Kombat can be divided into four categories, the first of which is the "snack class" item that is worth 1000 points and restores 16% health, which includes:
Chewing gum (GUM)
Chocolate
Donut (DONUT)
Coffee
and is often referred to as croissant (CROISSANT) of shrimp.
Subsequently, the second category of items is the "Snack" item with a value score of 3000 points that can restore 32% of health, which includes:
French fries (POTATO), the arcade friends said that it was a cigarette...
Buffy (PAFFE)
CAKE
Salad (SALAD)
And always known as pudding (PUDDING) of jelly.
The third category of items is worth 5,000 points and can restore 48% of health "dinner" items, which include:
Hamburg (BURGER)
Pizza
Hot Dog (HOTDOG)
The fourth type of item has a value score of 10,000 points and can restore 64% of health "feast" items, as follows:
Sushi (SUSHI)
Lobster (LOBSTER).
The last type of item is a "feast" type of prop worth 10,000 points, but can restore a full 80% of health or even all health, respectively
Steak (STEAK)
and barbecue
In another more well-known "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in addition to the conventional blood replenishment props, there is also an impressive "eating buns" link, looking at the buns and grilled meats on the plate in front of everyone, I don't know how many friends are frantically turning the rocker in front of the screen.
But at this time, the owner of the arcade room will walk up to the player and yell in his heartache and angry tone, "Don't eat buns!!! "After many years, I am afraid that every time the player's home steamed buns, he will smile at the moment he picks up the buns, perhaps remembering the experience of taking advantage of the boss's absence to secretly eat buns."
In addition, the blood replenishment props in the game are sometimes not so "serious". For example, the boss of the third level in the GBA version of Kombat, looks exactly like the villain Pluto's EDI E in Popeye, and after the battle begins, the goods will spit out a small thing.
And when many people played as children, they walked over to pick it up with curiosity, and found that they had recovered a little bit of health, only to find that what they picked up was something called GUM. Go home and use the dictionary to check, only to find that this is the meaning of chewing gum, eating the remaining chewing gum and blood, really disgusting for a while.
In the arcade version, this guy changed to lose a pudding before starting to fight, but the gum shadow has been bothering many players, and many players still remember it when they play Kombat Whirlwind.
In that era of "the plot relies on brains, the picture relies on pixels", although the taste in the arcade hall is a little unsatisfactory, we can still smell a hint of "arcade on the tip of the tongue" in the environment that is not very good. Players who save money for breakfast can sneak into the arcade hall and see the delicious food on the screen, it seems that they can also get a feeling of "spiritual food"!
