Chapter 1141 A World Without Games (IV)

In terms of restoring games and consoles, Resistance has done a very good job.

Let’s talk about “technology” first… Given that the technological level of their era is far ahead, asking them to manufacture game consoles and games before the 21st century is like asking 20th century scientists to build steam engines—— It's not a big deal at all.

And the "knowledge" needed to restore the game... is also not a problem; the "knowledge" obtained by Zhiyue people is different from ordinary "memory", it is a very deep, clear, and accurate information ...just like computer data. Moreover, almost all of this "knowledge" is about video games - because "video games" are the main target of Pita's elimination after changing the timeline, so the anti-correction effect brought about by the space-time paradox is also aimed at this point.

To sum up, the engineers of the Resistance Army are fully capable of 100% restoring a game that appeared in another timeline.

However, in practice, they did not do this.

For example, among the five games that Feng Bujue is playing right now, four of them are slightly different from the original version——

First of all, Brother Jue passed "Ninja Gaiden 3" at a very fast speed under the shocked eyes of the NPCs; and this game... is also the only game he played today that is exactly the same as the original version. , even if there is any difference, it is the kind of subtle difference that players cannot detect.

Then, Feng Bujue drew a rather weird FC game... "The_Simpsons: Bart_vs_the_SpaceMutants"; believe it or not, this game is very difficult to get started and play. It’s amazing. If you are new to this game and haven’t read any instructions or strategies, you may not be able to find a way to pass the first level even after researching for an hour or two.

In the version produced by the Resistance Army, the game actually has built-in hints and instructions...

Feng Bujue was a little surprised when he saw this change, but he quickly accepted this reasonable setting and completed the game.

Then, the third game that Brother Jue played was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3" (the Japanese version is called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, and the American version is 3); this game can be said to be the pinnacle of the last generation of FC's side-scrolling games, regardless of music and graphics. , details, and design have almost reached the limits of functionality.

However, for most players who were born in the 1980s and could only play copycat cartridges, this game brought a lot of blood and tears...

Why is this? Because the program of this game actually comes with anti-virus! Steal! Version! Check! Measurement!

When you enter the game and come to the title screen, the program will start and self-check; if the program does not detect KONAMI's LOGO on the title screen, the game will automatically change to the hidden "Purgatory Difficulty".

Obviously...it is impossible to have that LOGO above the title of the copycat cassette, so countless little fans were tortured into bears without knowing it.

While the genuine players were enjoying the game all the way through the game, the children who were playing pirated versions were struggling in purgatory. They finally managed to fight in front of Shredder, only to find that the BOSS had simply been set to an unkillable state.

Do you think this BOSS is immortal because of a bug? wrong! Simply because the cassette is a copycat!

It can be said that KONAMI, in an unexpected era, allowed young players to experience the difference in treatment between so-called paying players and free players in advance; and the most annoying thing is that in fact, those players who play knock-off cassettes have also paid. ...It’s just that they don’t know that what they are playing is a pirated version.

Okay, that’s a bit far-fetched, let’s go back to Brother Jue’s side.

The version of the resistance that Feng Bujue played undoubtedly did not have KONAMI's logo. After all, in this era, it was a company that did not exist and had never existed. However, Brother Jue unexpectedly discovered that the game he was playing was of genuine difficulty... It seemed that the engineers of the resistance army had not developed the detection program at all.

Therefore, as a Chinese player who can even handle the Purgatory difficulty, entering this difficulty is simply extremely enjoyable.

Because he was playing so high, he had to play through this extremely long game again...

By this time, Colonel Conrad and the surrounding guards had basically determined that Brother Jue was a Zhiyue, but a "geek-type" Zhiyue (equivalent to an e-sports master among Zhiyue) .

However, the colonel and the others did not immediately tell Feng Bujue to stop playing; even though he had far exceeded his previous requirement of "playing three games to the third level", everyone still watched in silence... because they were indeed very I rarely have the opportunity to see the completion screens of those games (they can't complete it themselves).

As for Feng Bujue... he didn't mind this either. He took out the fourth game: "RAF_world"; due to the efforts of copycat manufacturers, this game has at least three famous vests - " "Star Contra", "Final Colony" and "Future Soldier"; among them, the most well-known name should be "Star Contra".

This is an epic game, with a difficult level, a selectable weapon system, and excellent level design; and the most noteworthy thing is that the music of this unpopular game is unrivaled among similar games on FC. Maybe there is no god-level BGM like "Blood and Tears" (from Castlevania 2), but the overall level of its music even makes many works on higher-level platforms pale in comparison.

In theory, this game itself is already perfect and does not need any changes; however, the engineers of the resistance army still made some changes-adding an ending.

Some people may ask, since it is a very "perfect" game, why is there no ending?

This is a long story... Initially, "RAF World" was made as a derivative game of the movie "Terminator" (if this could really happen, we would be able to play a "good" Terminator game on FC), but later, due to the failure to obtain the copyright, SUNSOFT could only rename the game and modify the script of the opening; but the ending content related to the Terminator plot has actually been made, and the data can be found in the ROM.

Of course, if you don't know these settings, it won't affect the game experience, because the integrity of the game itself is still perfect, and the ending animation is also there, but the script related to the Terminator has been deleted.

…………

After about two hours, finally...

Feng Bujue played the fifth game - "Super Mario Bros.", which is the "Super Mario" we often talk about.

In 1985, this Italian plumber slowly walked out of the desert of the game industry after the impact of Atari, and created a savior legend at the end of the century...

Okay, maybe not that exaggerated...

There is too much to say about Mario, but at the same time, this part is the most unnecessary to elaborate, because... the legend about him has long existed in the hearts of all of us.

Even Master Sonic had to spread his hands and pat the plumber on the shoulder: "The name of the most popular game character in history is still more suitable for you."

So, for such a classic game that can't be more classic, what did the engineers of the resistance army change? In fact, it's nothing, just fix the BUG of "stuck through the wall"

Overall, as a group of New Century copycats, the various changes made by Zhiyuezhe are still very conscientious...

"Huh...Princess Taozi has been rescued." When the ending screen of the game appeared, Feng Bujue finally put down the controller, took a breath, and turned back to say, "How is it? Any other requests?"

"You...please wait a little longer." At this time, Colonel Conrad's attitude towards Brother Jue became extremely respectful. She turned her head and looked at the guards, "I have to leave for an hour or two. You...uh...protect Mr. Feng. Whatever he needs, you should try your best to meet it..."

"Yes!" Lightning head stood straight and responded with a sonorous voice.

A few seconds later, the colonel who was about to leave the office seemed to remember something again. Before leaving, he turned back and added; "By the way! Remember...don't hurt Mr. Feng, understand?"

"Understood!" The four guards in the office replied in unison.

Then, the colonel went out, and the guards stared at Feng Bujue together... The look in their eyes, if I had to describe it, was like a group of ordinary people seeing a living Buddha on the street, ready to kneel down at any time.

"Hehe... Don't look at me with that kind of look." Feng Bujue, this narcissist... oh no... this very humble man, obviously enjoyed this kind of gaze, he smiled proudly, "I feel embarrassed when I see you."

Although he said so, but with his thick skin, the word "embarrassment" can rarely be used properly on him.

"Eh?" Two seconds later, Jue raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way... Anyway, we are just waiting, let's play some more games."

"Okay, okay!" When the youngest of the four guards heard it, he nodded happily in response.

As a result, he was immediately given a cold look by Lightning Head and the other two brothers.

"Hehe..." Feng Bujue said, "Relax a little, why are you so nervous?" He looked up at Lightning Head, "Well... this lady, do you want to play doubles with me?"

…………

Just like that, more than an hour passed.

Colonel Conrad came back, and beside her, there was a little boy who looked less than ten years old.

The colonel took the boy's hand and led him into the office.

At the same time, Feng Bujue and Lightning Head were playing "Contra 2" together in the room... The latter was so high at this moment, and the serious bully female image before was gone, revealing her funny nature.

The other three guards were all standing behind Brother Jue and watching with full concentration. The weapons in their hands were hung behind their backs. They were completely defenseless and didn't even notice someone coming in.

"Hmm..." Seeing this scene, Conrad cleared his throat with a slightly embarrassed expression, trying to attract the attention of those people.

Unexpectedly... No one noticed the first sound (of course, Feng Bujue noticed it, but he deliberately didn't react).

"Hmm!" Conrad had to raise his voice and hum again.

This time, Lightning Head and the others came to their senses and stood aside from the screen awkwardly.

"Come...Colonel." Lightning Head saluted the colonel. As a person with a relatively straight temperament, in this situation, her face turned red all of a sudden.

The other three soldiers had similar reactions.

Only Feng Bujue was still sitting there looking at the screen. After a few seconds, he pressed the pause button and turned back leisurely: "What? Who are you going to introduce to me this time?"

Conrad did not respond directly to this question, but looked at Lightning Head and the others: "You guys go out first."

"Yes." After Lightning Head responded, he and the other three trotted out of the office.

After the automatic door at the entrance closed, Conrad turned to look at the little boy beside him and asked: "Peter...is that him?"

The little boy named Peter looked very fair and cute. If it weren't for his hairstyle and clothes, he would have been mistaken for a girl.

"Hmm..." Peter looked at Brother Jue with his big watery eyes and muttered, "It's hard to say..."

"What are you doing?" Feng Bujue glared at the child, "Do you recognize your father?"

After asking this question that was both advantageous and irrelevant, Feng Bujue looked up at Conrad and asked an even more outrageous question: "Is this your fault?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm only twenty-five years old." Conrad replied with a sullen face.

"So what?" Unexpectedly, Feng Bujue threw back a rhetorical question, and the amount of information contained in this rhetorical question was huge.

"Mr. Feng, please stop it." Conrad replied with a stern face, "If my boyfriend were here, you would have been beaten to the ground by now." She paused and said seriously, "Peter is our prophet ’, he is an ‘innate intellectual’ who already possesses knowledge from the moment he is born.”

"Oh no..." Feng Bujue heard the words and immediately complained, "A prophet? Then according to this setting..." He looked at Peter, "Can you kid predict the future?"

"No." Peter replied, "I can only see some 'fragments of events that will happen in the future' at certain moments, but this 'prediction' is not initiated according to my own wishes."

This little boy didn't speak like a child at all, he sounded and phrased like an adult.

"Oh." Feng Bujue responded casually, "Then..." He said to Conrad again, "What exactly did you mean when you pointed at me and asked, 'Is it him?'"

"Savior." Peter responded directly before Conrad could speak, "About two years ago, I saw a fragment of the future - one day, a man with 'no past' will appear in front of us, And his appearance means the end of the war and the victory of our humanity." (To be continued~^~)
