When it comes to arcade games, I believe that the first thing that comes to mind of many people is the classic IP such as "King of Fighters", "Street Fighter", "Metal Slug", which are affected by labels such as blood, quality, and boutique, and these games still have not lost their heat after experiencing the erosion of time, but there is still a high degree of discussion today.
But at that time, in the era of arcade games with a hundred flowers, these well-known game IPs were actually not the first choice for players to experience, and many old arcade players knew that in the corner of the arcade hall, it was the most lively corner of the world. Because there, it is the real arcade world.
Casual games as a type of arcade games, in fact, there is a very wide range of player groups, whether it is a fighting player or a level player, will choose to experience a casual game when there are not many coins left in their hands, purely enjoy the beauty of the game, so in this trend, "Silkworm Change" has become the game with the highest appearance rate in the arcade hall.
"Silkworm Change" first appeared on the arcade stage in 1990, and the gameplay is also very simple, that is, to control a paintbrush to draw lines on the game screen, and the drawn area will show the real "beautiful picture", and the player needs to avoid the monsters that obstruct the brush while showing the picture behind the screen.
This kind of excitement of exploring beautiful women in public places a little bit also made the silkworm become a similar game at that time, and many people put down their bloody fists and turned into small brushes. Even some master players, as long as they can mix a familiar face in the arcade hall, as soon as they come, someone will naturally give up their seats, just to watch behind him to see a variety of eye-catching beauty styles.
It can be said that for a long time, the silkworm transformation is the real mainstream game in the arcade hall, and it is also because of it that the entire leisure and entertainment game is active, and soon another seemingly novel game breaks into the player's field of vision, it is "Bubble Dragon".
Players who have carefully observed the "photogenic rate" of the arcade hall know that the popularity of Bubble Dragon is never inferior to classic IP games such as Boxer Street Fighter, and the reason why many players will choose "Bubble Dragon" is nothing more than that the fighting game is tired of playing, and the game of beautiful women can't let go of their hands and feet, so they have to play "Bubble Dragon" to "cultivate" the sentiment.
The earliest prototype of "Bubble Dragon" is a game of breaking through the level, but the popularity of the helpless sequel is relatively mediocre, so the game manufacturer decided to find another way, combining the match-3 elements and the cute Bubble Dragon, and the response to the game was quite enthusiastic, so that now when it comes to "Bubble Dragon", many players think of two cute little dinosaurs launching colorful bubble match-3 games, rather than its prototype work.
In fact, after talking about these two games, the casual game market basically has no top-notch masterpieces, but there is still a game to be specially explained, that is, "Everyone Comes to Find Stubble".
It is worth mentioning that the producer of this game is the IGS company that makes domestic high-quality arcade machines such as "Three Kingdoms War Chronicle" and "Journey to the West". Compared with the former, the production cost of "Everyone Comes to Find Stubble" looks very cheap, but its popularity in China is unusually high, and even until 2006, there are many local satellite televisions that have made this game into entertainment programs to squeeze the audience's SMS service fees.
At that time, the arcade room players who played such games were basically chronic, because anyone with a little temper could not play, aside from some subtle differences that were difficult to detect, it was more to endure the fingering of a bunch of people behind them, pointing right, everyone was happy, pointing wrong, it was easy to let two strangers tie the knot.
For casual games, as long as you master the core network fun, other elements become no longer important, so under the seemingly painless appearance, the potential of these games is endless, otherwise there would not be so many people until zero years, still in the TV show in order to find the difference faster than others and frantically consume their own phone bills, right?
