In the era of arcade games that year, the main street machine halls were overcrowded, whether it was to play games, or simply to be addicted, there were often cases of blocking the aisles and could not walk through people, and it was precisely because there were many people, so in that small game world there were also a lot of strange routines and rumors, and even more in that era when communication technology was not developed, some game gameplay became evil urban legends.
Because some arcade rumors are expensive to experiment with, as long as someone says enough to paint, there will be players who are sure to echo it, the most classic example of which is Dinosaur Kombat.
In this arcade game that is popular all over the country, there is a well-known legend about the stone at the fourth level. Regarding whether to pick up this prop or not to pick it up, it has been discussed since the game appeared in the arcade hall, and many veterans will say that this stone is the mechanism that makes the boss crazy at the bottom of the level, and as long as it is picked up, it will increase the difficulty of the game.
And this is just one of the versions, if any player has been to the arcade hall enough, they will know that there are more mysterious statements about this stone, such as the boss health will increase by a quarter after picking up, some say that the boss will release skills more frequently after picking up, and even more will say that the boss will split, in short, how outrageous how to come.
Obviously, such a baseless claim is completely unsubstantiated by evidence, so now that the simulator can allow players to test repeatedly, more and more players have gradually broken this rumor and finally found justice for this innocent little stone.
This stone also reflects everyone's strange focus on arcades at that time, many times players will not admit that their level is not good, so they are willing to make a big fuss in places that look special, and then find a reasonable reason to cover up the fact that they are not good, and the same reason is the small torch in the Xu Chu level in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Like The little stone, this torch also has many versions of the statement, some say that after ignition, the boss will become angry because the player plays, and some say that ignition at the right time can effectively weaken the ability of the boss, in short, everyone says their own things, so that Meng Xin does not know who to listen to.
In fact, this is also nonsense, the game to add a prop but not let people use, a little think about it is completely understand that this is completely some old players of the empty wind, but helpless too many players at that time for their own game suggestions are convinced of the people, so that similar rumors slowly spread throughout the streets.
However, you can't kill all the urban legends in the arcade, and in Kombat Whirlwind, there is a so-called "alchemy" that has been played by many players.
"Alchemy" refers to the fact that when the player destroys the chest containing the food, he can quickly push the joystick forward, pull back, or jump in 0.03 seconds, and can hit the diamond and gold items 100%. Such a high difficulty also quickly divided the players of "Dinosaur Kombat" into two groups of masters and ordinary players, the master in the game in the face of the box casual punch is a bonus prop, and ordinary players, while cursing and rumors while constantly coining to continue to live.
In fact, whether these statements are true or not, they are no longer important today, and many players understand that these urban legends have become a special symbol with the end of the arcade era, imprinted in our youth. And those arcade games have become a good memory for us.
