The pterosaur at the beginning of "Dinosaur Kombat" was really beaten down, a hoax that had been buried for thirty years

There has always been a legend about Dinosaur Kombat during the arcade period: the pterodactyl at the beginning can be taken down, and it can be kicked with the lower upper foot of the little yellow hat.

I'm sure there are quite a few players who think so! I even think I've seen it with my own eyes! Strangely, I've been unable to do it after many years of testing. I wonder if this memory of mine has been confused by the subsequent revision?

So, is the pterosaur at the beginning of the film really capable of fighting, or is this the Mandela effect caused by everyone's confused memory?

I asked for your opinions online, and I received several answers.

1. Someone really knocked it down:

Many friends on the Internet said that they had tested it themselves and really beat it. It's a pity that there was no video at that time, otherwise I would have recorded it for everyone to see.

2. That's just the Mandela effect, many people mistake the pterosaur in the fifth and seventh levels for being encountered in the first level.

3. It is simply impossible to fight down, the pterosaur is just the background

In addition, some friends saw the question as "can the pterosaur be defeated", rather than "can the pterosaur be defeated at the beginning of the film", resulting in some oolong answers.

Although the Pterodactyl appeared in the first level, the levels that threatened us were in the fifth, seventh, and eighth levels. Especially the ones in the eight levels, if the player doesn't move, it is very likely to be killed directly. I believe that many players have a deep memory! Many gods were killed against this pterosaur lightly.

Xiaobian turned on the full-screen attack in the game, and when the pterodactyl flew down, he hit many times in a row, but all of them ended in failure. Later, some fans consulted JD, the first person in "Dinosaur Kombat", and clearly told that the pterosaur is the background, and there is no attack judgment and attack frame, which means that it will not attack people and will not be beaten.

(To be honest, if someone could really beat it down, the relevant video would have exploded on the Internet a long time ago, and it would be our turn to guess here?)

So, why do people think that the pterodactyl in one level can be defeated? And many friends are sure that they have beaten it themselves?

I think there are several reasons for this:

Memories are blurry

For most players, the game hall, Three Kingdoms, Dinosaur Island, fast three, new fast three, fast two, Peter Pan...... These words are memories from more than 20 years ago. Although the game hall was really happy at that time, after all, after so many years, many players have long been out of touch, and even the computer is not very good at using it, so they use their mobile phones to swipe Douyin to watch videos, and they don't even know what an arcade simulator is.

This part of the player's memory naturally has fragments of memories of fighting pterodactyls, but one level is mixed with other levels. I thought I had really beaten down the pterosaur back then. Memories have long been blurred, and it's good to be able to find memories of the past in this game.

Twenty years ago, I had a dream about an arcade machine, and I still can't figure out if it was real or a dream, but I'm sure many players have the same experience as me!

The Mandela Effect

Is it really the brain that tricks us? Why do so many people think they actually hit a pterodactyl? and remember it very clearly.

This is the same as the previous "Heaven will descend to the people" and "Heaven will descend to the people".

I looked through my previous middle school textbooks, and it was really "a human being," but why do we remember it as a "Si Renye"? First of all, there is indeed a record of "Si Renye" in many ancient books and classics, that is to say, there is also a basis, and the textbook uses only one of the expressions. Secondly, many film and television works and variety shows use "Si Ren" when this article appears, and "Si Ren" gives us a feeling that is more in line with the theme and artistic conception of this article, so we prefer to believe that it is "Si Ren".

Regarding this matter, most of Xing Ye's movie "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er" will also be blamed!

By the way, when I typed this paragraph on the self-media platform, I was asked to change it to "Siren", as shown below:

Similarly, we fought that pterodactyl in the fifth level, and the deepest memory is that it can't be hit, and we have to use the "Gulia" of the little yellow hat, or the "sky-high leg" of Xiaobai, and the "back top" of the big Hanmax can barely be hit.

Pterodactyl has beaten many players, so everyone's memory of pterosaur is still relatively deep. It is also because of this, when you see it in the opening scene of the first level, it triggers the memory of being abused, which leads to the birth of this effect.

revision

Some players also said that they remember seeing someone fight the pterodactyl in the first scene in the game hall! Could it be that this memory is also fake?

If the memory is so deep, it shouldn't be fake, but it can't be ruled out that what I played back then was not a revision. In the late 90s, there were a lot of revisions of Dinosaur Kombat, not even less than that of Three Kingdoms, but at that time, the bosses were keen on fighting games, and many people had never seen the revised version of Dinosaur Kombat.

There is even a legend in the arcade that you can sit on the back of a pterosaur. Years later, when we re-experience the game, we find that many of the rumors are actually nonsense. Of course, every rumor has provided us with a lot of room and joy for fantasy.

After years of vicissitudes, players have finally been smoothed out by the years, and they no longer have the "ambition" to play arcade games back then. The arcade stick I bought at home, I don't know how many years I have eaten ashes in the corner, and then I found that it is the greatest pleasure to reminisce about the arcade machine in the "between the lines", after all, it belongs to our most beautiful youth!

Players who have calmed down have gradually discovered details that they have not noticed in the past games, and those seemingly ordinary props still contain a certain culture and a certain story. When we were young, we only cared about playing games, and we seemed to miss a lot of scenery along the way!
