The arcades of the eighties and nineties are a microcosm of society, where you can hardly see civilization. The black smoke and miasma, the fish and dragons are mixed, and anyone can see the three religions and nine streams.
Players who don't know each other are almost always competitive or even hostile, and often scolding wars over seats or food. The older bully the younger player, pretending to burn others with cigarette butts unintentionally during the battle, and winning the victory in disgrace. If you lose, turn it off. The little gangsters always have their eyes on the little players who are left behind. Youth is incomplete without being borrowed.
It is possible to be borrowed before the first year of junior high school, and after the second year of junior high school, the gangsters will generally not trouble you.
A fan said: My classmate told me to take a cigarette in my mouth when I entered the game hall, otherwise there would be seniors who would come over and ask for coins, and the result was ...... In the third grade of elementary school, I started smoking when I stepped on a horse
Nowadays, many people say that they have seen beautiful women in the game hall, which should be just a beautiful fantasy. The people in the game hall were full of anger, and there were so many fights and brawls that even the police station didn't want to care.
But to be honest, the top students are still the top students when they enter the game hall, and the poor students are still poor students if they don't enter the game hall, although there are also some top students who delay their studies because of playing games, but after all, they are a minority. Many of today's leaders in all walks of life have experienced the baptism of game halls.
In the early years, people said that the game hall brought bad children, but in fact, it was not, and entering the game hall allowed the children to be exposed to the negativity of society too early, understand the deception of society, and face life more easily in the future, rather than catching blind as soon as they graduated.
At that time, the owner of the game hall could be said to do everything in order to make money, making full use of the venue, and even setting up a table or two of billiards.
In order to make more money in the game, the boss deliberately made up a lot of rumors to make players "internal friction". Some of these rumors are still hard to tell whether they are true or false! Like the rumors that the fragments of the historical records were thrown into the fire of Lymonna, and:
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Xiahoudun's fire gourd
In the years when "Three Kingdoms" was popular, and revised games such as "Three Swordsmen" and "Fire Phoenix" had not yet appeared, the original version was very popular. At that time, when we were able to meet Yan Ming and Xiahou Jie, we already thought that they were god-level players.
There has always been a rumor in the game hall that the gourd on the second level BOSS Xiahoudun can burst out, which is like the boss headshot in the first level of "Storm Boy", as long as you master the method.
And this fire gourd is the key prop of Xiahoudun's fire-breathing, as long as we pick it up, we can turn on the fire-breathing mode.
It is said that you can achieve it by using the Plum Blossom Seat five times in a row, but with the player's skill at that time, it was considered lucky to play two Plum Blossom Seats in a row, not to mention being able to catch five times in a row.
Players are convinced of this.
"No meat", "No buns", "No eating" on the game console...... It all seems redundant. After all, those players "dedicated" themselves to try this rumor, and the coin rate increased by at least 50%. Players with a little bit of experience will want to try it out for themselves. But until the game was banned by "Three Swordsmen" and "Fire Phoenix", no one tested it. But there was still no doubt.
Some time ago, I accidentally found out after the previous fan's message, and it turned out that there were still people who remembered this!
I tried to use one key to make a move, and I used plum blossoms to catch Xiahoudun throughout the whole process, and I didn't explode the gourd until this guy sat to death. In this way, this is really a rumor made up by the boss back then.
In addition, the rumors in the game hall that Xu Chu can ride a horse in "Three Kingdoms" are estimated to be inseparable from the boss.
Dinosaur Kombat
Dinosaur Kombat had the most rumors back then, some of which have not been confirmed until now.
Back then, the boss made up a few rumors that now seem to be low-level, and they also made a lot of noise.
It is said that the pterodactyl at the beginning of a level can be shot down, and a golden diamond that can be awarded will burst out, but the premise must be within 10 seconds of the time countdown. In order to challenge, many players died with full blood and gave time, resulting in the end of the second level of the boss without seeing it.
Many years later, we conducted a special test, only to find out that we have been deceived by the boss for 30 years! For so many years, I have been worried about the lack of gold bricks.
In addition, there are rumors that the boss blood is deducted with a bomb in one level, and the boss who picks up stones in four levels adds blood.
Before a boss scene, as long as we throw the fat corpse to the right, we can bring food to the boss scene. And before the scene switch, we use a grenade to throw it directly in the direction of the boss, and his HP will decrease after he appears.
Later, it was confirmed that food could really be brought over, but throwing bombs to the edge of the board could not reduce the boss's HP.
As for the rumors such as picking up stones and increasing blood and becoming stronger in the four levels, it is the players' own imagination.
The amount of boss HP will be adjusted according to the number of participants in the game, so many players mistakenly think that the blood is added after picking up the stone boss. And the strength of the boss is also related to the number of players.
"Journey to the West" bloodsucking life
This is one of the most internal rumors of the year, the boss said that the blood drops of "Journey to the West and the Legend of Doom SUPER" can get a life if you suck your teammates to death directly, just like "Double Dragon 2", you can transfer your life.
To be honest, the meaning of the existence of blood droplets is problematic in itself. Even if you know a friend, you may turn your face if you do this, let alone someone you don't know. Many players in the upper grades like to grab this prop, and even if they pick it up, they don't dare to use it.
After this rumor appeared, players became even more unscrupulous. As long as you pick up a drop of blood, you will release it on your teammates without hesitation. But without exception, they can't suck their teammates to death. As a result, many players are fighting on the sidelines. The boss is in a lively state of mind, as long as he doesn't fight in the game hall, it doesn't matter.
Years later, when we grew up and had more life experience, we realized that this was definitely a rumor.
Metal Slug 2's hidden giant golden bat
There is a very dangerous place in the second level of "Metal Slug 2", which can be regarded as the hidden path of the game! Here you can play two magic lamps, and you can get a lot of gold coins when the lamp god appears. Back then, many players fell to their deaths in order to challenge this position.
Later, the boss found out that the player had learned well and was not sent to death, so he mysteriously told the player that there was actually a huge golden bat hidden in this location, which could add 10 lives after eating. Simple players really believed it, thinking that it didn't matter if they died one or two lives, anyway, eating more than one life added up.
As a result, we see players jumping off cliffs every day...... The boss is probably laughing behind his back.
So in addition to the above, what other rumors have deceived you for many years?
Hilton's box is enough money for 100 to change a Nintendo game console, more than 30 years, looking at me, thousands of Hilton boxes have not known where to change?
When I was in elementary school, my classmates told me: Today, the owner of the game hall has a birthday, and the game currency doesn't need money, so I skipped class and went to find out that it was a rumor!
The rumor that players dare not believe the most: Your homeroom teacher has come to arrest someone, your mother has come to catch the bag, son, hurry up and hide
The most outrageous rumors: "Street Fighter 2" Honda will jump into the bath after winning, Gulie will fly a plane after winning, and Buddha will sit up after Shagat wins
