I believe that many friends and my game hall career are the same, they all started from the initial boogie machine!
I remember that at that time, the game hall would often see some small farts that stood up and were not as high as the joysticks of the game console, and they liked to watch from the sidelines when others were playing. In fact, when I saw them, I thought of my former self, who didn't come this way!
When no one was playing, we liked to watch the animation while waiting for someone to play the game. And "Warring States Blade", "Electric God Demon Golem 2", "Assault Raider 2", "Soul Blade" are our favorite machines, why! I believe that all of you here are people who understand.
In the popular arcade game, there are always many people watching, and it can even be described as a water leak, and the shorter player can only leave silently. At that time, the most crowded games were "Silkworm Change", "Playing Bricks", "Othello"... As well as some puzzle games that don't know the name.
There are many puzzle games similar to the following type of percussion class.
The operation of the game is very simple, and it is very easy to get started. Why are players in such a hurry to get through? It is because after passing the level, you can enjoy various benefits.
These games are more strange, obviously the gameplay is very subtle, but to add some real portraits to the background of the game, perhaps this can attract more players to enjoy it! At that time, the games with the highest coin rate were "Silkworm Change" and "Chinese Dragon", and the machine was basically not idle, as long as someone coined, there would be a large group of people coming to watch.
IGS, created a lot of games are boutique, players are most familiar with the nature is "Chinese Dragon" ah! The series can be said to be suitable for all ages, a true puzzle game, testing players' reflexes and innovative thinking.
At this time, there will be a large number of players next to you who will advise you, when your pairing is not complete, they even find the following pairing, you just need to follow their instructions, you can quickly pass the level.
It is strange to say, I don't know why "China Dragon 1" is so popular, why "China Dragon 2" was hastily removed after a few days on the shelves? Is it because there are no background characters in the game?
IGS also launched a number of puzzle games, sparrow games, sports competition and bowling games that year. But without exception, as long as the game has benefits in the game, the game is hot, and the game without welfare is bland. How does this make IGS play!
"Silkworm Change", when I was in the game hall, I didn't know the name of the game. Later, I learned that the games with this gameplay were basically uniformly called by this name.
To tell the truth, the gameplay of "Silkworm Change" is really more classic, that is, to obtain the territory step by step through the way of drawing a line, and after obtaining a certain territory, directly swallow the BOSS, and then pass the level.
Because there is a time limit in the game, it is more tense, and even if the player does not make a mistake, it is difficult to ensure that it can be completed in time, in addition to technology, it still requires a certain amount of experience and luck.
If it is not completed within a certain period of time, the character in the background may turn into a terrifying monster, causing the player to have no interest at all.
The crowd of onlookers couldn't help at all, and could only hold their breath to see how the player successfully bypassed the monster. To be honest, this game has been in the game hall for a long time, but no one has ever passed it, perhaps because there are too many levels! Fortunately, we have enjoyed almost all the background images. For the players at that time, this was the real enlightenment!
I don't know if I can bear it.
In fact, in the game platform, the effect and scale of live actor appearance and anime character appearance are completely different. The scale of live-action appearances is too direct, and the anime category is more or less reserved, at least it will not be too intuitive to cause psychological shadows for small players.
It is also like this, I remember that there was a game hall on the SS platform "Wild Ball Fist", the result was less than a month even the game hall was sealed, until a week later reopened, and the machine is gone.
After all, the scale of this type of game is no different from the yellow video hall that was banned at that time, and it will have an extremely bad impact on society.
"Silkworm change" is actually a kind of gameplay, so it is not developed by a game company, and many companies in the later period saw that this kind of game theme was relatively hot, so they began to imitate, and added new gameplay and exquisite anime characters.
So there are the "Heavenly Silkworm Transformation Spray Version", "Alien Heavenly Silkworm Transformation", "Shooting Heavenly Silkworm Transformation", "Paint Heavenly Silkworm Transformation"..... In short, everything is not far from its origin.
In order to circumvent the limitations of scale, the later "Silkworm Change" is mainly based on anime pictures, the picture quality is exquisite, and the quality has been significantly improved. But it is precisely because there are too many similar games that players gradually develop aesthetic fatigue.
So the game companies have carefully reduced the difficulty of the game and added more elements and props. Players can experience all kinds of fun during the game, and no longer break through the level to see the screen.
The anime style is in line with the aesthetics of most players at that time.
"Silkworm Change" not only innovates the gameplay, but also adds a certain plot to make the experience more abundant. However, there are not many ways to really access these games. After all! Games with low difficulty and long play are no longer suitable for appearing in the game hall.
It was also a blessing for players to be able to play the Silkworm Transformation series in the game hall at that time, because not all game halls will appear.
Today, when we see these games again, we always lament that the years are not sparing. Arcade players of that year have long passed the age of establishment, playing games less and less, but the nostalgia for the game hall is growing day by day.
Oh, yes! I am very fortunate to have access to so many arcade games in the past, and the bits and pieces in the game hall are still fresh in my memory, after all, this is our best youth!
