It's hard to imagine that World Heroes was actually a fighting game released in 1992, just a year after Street Fighter 2.
But whether it is picture quality, system, or skill, it is not at one level at all. It is worthy of SNK's four major town treasures in the past, and has a high popularity in both arcade and host platforms.
The fighting games that were nominated for "GAME Concentration Camp" that year, except for "Street Fighter", were almost all SNK games, such as "Legend of the Hungry Wolf", "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger", "Samurai Shodown", "Moonlight Swordsman", "Apocalypse", "Heroes of the World"...
Among them, "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" and "Heroes of the World" often occupy a full page.
World Heroes was very popular during the game hall period, when many players experienced the first and second generations, as well as the jet version.
After 95 years, the only version that players can access is the World Heroes Perfect Edition, which is the ultimate version and is recognized as the most hands-on work.
At that time, rookie players liked to use rogue moves to pass the level. The Vikings are the most frequently played characters, first spitting ice to freeze people, and then smashing them down with a hammer or axe.
In the early years of the game, there was not so much emphasis on flying props, and in "World Heroes" and "Fist of dragons and tigers", it could even be directly offset with fists.
The skills of the Thang Long class are more important, almost all of them have invincible moments, and the special effects are full of points.
The plot of the game is very simple, that is, Dr. Brown uses the time machine to bring together all the characters from various time and space to fight against a monster named Mercury Man, that is, the boss of the first generation and the small boss of the second generation.
This monster hunted and killed many heroes in various time and space, and after coming to this time, it was chased and intercepted by a group of heroes and killed on the spot.
It is precisely because the game has a setting that travels through time and space, so we will experience the background of various eras in battle. Once the contact background reaches a certain requirement, it will trigger the Monkey King side quest.
At present, the characters in the game are all from: literary works, historical real people, legendary biographies, and the skills they use are closely related to the background.
The special effects in the game were fantastic and could be absolutely second to none at the time. Each character has such a skill against the sky. Have to admire the brain holes of the developers at that time.
Years later, when we look back, we will find that these super killer skills are very cruel!
Today, Xiaobian will take you to taste this classic game skill!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Rasputin</h1>
The most legendary character in the game!
What has never been understood is that Dr. Brown summoned heroes from other eras to appear on this stage, mainly to fight against the Mercury Man.
How can this guy be summoned? His killer skills and moves reveal a philosophical side everywhere, which makes people can't help but be funny.
The most talked-about trick in the game is from Rasputin's secret garden. The damage of this move is very high, the whole time it is carried out underground, and what really happens during the period is really unknown.
If the opponent is beaten to a small size, this trick cannot be used.
After all! It's hard to imagine Rasputin playing well against such a big figure.
When his "cooldown ball" is used, it will briefly turn into a snowman, and the opponent will freeze as soon as he hits it.
And the hem of his skirt is the most powerful weapon, as sharp as a blade.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="51" > Captain Kidd</h1>
His origin is not simple! At that time, it was known as one of the top ten pirates, and the living environment faced every day was life and death.
In the historical archetype, Kidd ended tragically, being captured and hanged, even having an eagle peck at the flesh of his corpse.
And his killing skill comes from this allusion. Hang your opponent and let the eagle peck at it, the damage should be the highest of all skills.
Captain Kidd, the flying prop released is a shark, which will keep tearing after biting the opponent. The whole process lasts a long time. Even when the opponent is bitten, he can repair the knife. It has to be said that this is one of the most brutal skills in the game.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="56" > Madoman</h1>
Madoman was an elven warrior from Papua New Guinea who was also a respected witch doctor and a respected shaman. It is the light of justice, and Rasputin has been an old enemy for many years.
The characters that Madoman summons in battle are elves from the kingdom of the gods.
I don't know if you have noticed that characters generally from amazons, Mayans and mysterious tribes have mysterious powers. They have gods they believe in, and these gods always give them magical powers.
Maddorman is a very rare character in the game who has the ability to fly, and can fly indefinitely with just one pair of hands.
Madoman's super-killer skill, "For Skywalker", summons the characters who are the elves of the Kingdom of God.
The killer randomly appears beautiful angels or strong gods, directly take the opponent away, and then the opponent's blood groove is constantly drained. Maybe everyone can't feel the cruelty of the killer skill, but it is extremely frightening to think about it! Obviously, it was the guidance of the gods, but it made people seriously injured.
Look closely at the smile of this god, isn't this the gold curator we are familiar with?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > Maxim</h1>
Maxim is a rugby player who is based on the real-life athlete Joe Montana.
There is also a rugby player in The Battle of the Stars: the Thunderbolt Leopard, who is also based on this "most valuable player"
Maxim's super kill is more special, first hitting people into the sky, then constantly using wave attacks, and then adding electric light poison dragon drills. Who would have thought that rugby players would have so many killing skills.
Players in fighting games generally have very few sports athletes, after all, sports are too close to reality, and if you design any anti-heaven skills, it seems to be more contrary.
The athletes we came into contact with, such as the "King of Fighters" American team and the "Private Academy" general horse team, their skills are related to the projects they are good at. Footballers use soccer balls to attack, volleyball players use volleyballs to attack, and baseball players use baseball as flying props.
However, in this game, Maxima can actually play a steady stream of fluctuating punches. This is more or less a bit difficult to accept! Where are you putting Street Fighter 2 reds and whites?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="72" > golden dragon</h1>
The prototype of the Golden Dragon is the familiar Bruce Lee. Fist and foot kung fu has reached its peak, and he is also a martial arts movie star.
The game features Bruce Lee's classic flying kicks, with the addition of dragon head effects, which looks very emotional.
The super killer skill "Dragon Chain" uses Bruce Lee's boxing. It actually played a hundred cracks.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > Bruken</h1>
The image of this dude is very similar to Vega in Street Fighter, but it doesn't matter.
However, players almost all think that Vega is a villain. So what kind of character is he?
Bruken is a robot developed by Dr. Brown for the military. During World War II, these robots ended in failure. Even so, he was still proud of his cyborg body and strength, as well as the technology of his country.
In order to prove the strength of the motherland's scientific and technological power, Bruken began to travel the world.
Because it is a cyborg, there is usually no expression of feelings and emotions, which is difficult to figure out. He was a professional soldier, so there was no distinction between a good guy and a bad guy.
The super killing skill is to use your own body to explode and blow the opponent directly away, which is more cruel.
Except for the head, the rest of the body is made of machinery.
In the ending of "Heroes of the World 2", Bruken's body is constantly blown up, resulting in insufficient body. Dr. Brown gave him a spare body
In the SFC version of Heroes of the World, his image was completely subverted. Almost unrecognizable.
The characters in the Heroes of the World series all have historical archetypes, but this character does not.
Because his prototype is not from history, but from Brocken Jr. in "The Man of Muscle."
Players of each generation are exposed to different games, and the emotions invested are different. We've also chased the latest games, but one day we'll stop and look for lost youth while reminiscing about classic games.
For our generation, games are not just technical things, but have become a special symbol of the times, integrating our emotional memories and precipitating the changes of the times. The demolition and repair of the old streets in that year, the things are not human, only the game, is still as wonderful as it was then, every frame of the picture, every character, has not faded with the changes of the times, on the contrary, more and more distinct.
Yes, we miss not games, but our time.
