Chapter 692 The Tradition of Rewards

It's not that the rewards provided by other game companies are not rich. In fact, in order to make players fall in love with the game as much as possible, or play the game, game companies will make the rewards extremely delicate or valuable.

Many psychologists have studied that when people play games, they may not love the game itself, but because of the rewards in the game or outside the game.

But things are afraid of a comparison. After a comparison, it is really a judgment.

There are endless game rewards in history.

In the early 80s, in the era when red and white machines were not even developed, people's tolerance and enthusiasm for games was so simple and strong.

At that time, the king of the video game industry was Atari, the Atari 2600, a milestone game console, the console with the longest life in human history. Rise until the 90s when the heroes were fighting.

However, due to poor management of this company, many "garbage" game products appeared on the market, which made consumers lose confidence in games and game consoles, and they were unwilling to buy games and game consoles. A devastating disaster, the company itself was also hit hard, and the game center of that era was transferred from the United States to Japan.

And the "seeking sword" activity that has become a legend in the history of the game took place at this stage.

Since the 80s, this company has successively released a game series called "swordquest", consisting of four parts in total.The world view of the game is based on the four basic elements that constitute the world in Western classicism, so the four games are "Earth World", "Fire World", "Water World", "Air World", and the final game after completing the four games. Showdown - looking for a sword.

In the game, you will control a character to explore some mysterious secret rooms, looking for some hidden clues and treasures.

It sounds ordinary, like an ordinary decryption game, but things are far from that simple

Because you are not just playing a game, but a real big adventure, and you are looking for real treasures. It can be said that the design is very delicate.

This is probably the first batch of video games and the real game experience of offline interaction. The good combination of games and reality, in terms of the technology and interactivity of that era, is really difficult for game manufacturers.

At that time, unlike now, everything was interconnected, and everything online and offline was convenient.

The rules of the grand treasure hunting project at that time were roughly like this. You bought the four games released by Atari in turn. Just give it to Atari.

The person who finds the most clues can go to the company headquarters for the finals. In the finals, Atari specially made a game version for the players. The person who completes the game process first within 90 minutes is the champion.

And the final treasure reward is also a treasure in the true sense, without any fakes.

The winner of the "Earth World" will receive an amulet made of 18K pure gold, set with 12 diamonds, and engraved with the zodiac signs around it.

The winner of the "Fire World" receives a chalice made of platinum and decorated with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, pearls, jasper and more.

The prize of "Water World" is a crown made of pure gold, embellished with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and aquamarines.

The prize of "Qi World" is a sage's stone, which looks like a pointed box. The body is a large piece of pure white jade, wrapped in 18K gold, and topaz, ruby, and diamonds are set on it.

According to Atari's advertisement, the value of each prize is 2.5 yuan.

But this is not the end, at the end of the four competitions, the four winners have a final battle.

And the only and final winner will get the ultimate prize.

It was a precious sword, and it was also the origin of the "Sword Hunting" activity.

The hilt is made of 18K pure gold, and the body of the sword is made of pure silver, embellished with diamonds, topaz, sapphire and ruby, worth up to 5 yuan.

Therefore, the total price of all prizes is a full 15 meters!
The 80 yuan in the 15s of the last century, plus the changes in inflation, may be equivalent to several million yuan now, and coupled with the uniqueness of its prizes, it is very valuable for collection, maybe tens of millions There are rice and yuan.

But these 4 games also seem to represent the fate of this company. The first two game activities are still vigorous, but with the impact of Atari, the third of the 4 parts, Water World, is only released in limited quantities. And the air world has become air directly, and only a small number of prototypes that do not know the true or false flow out.

In the end, among the five prizes, only the amulet and the Holy Grail were given out, and the rest of the prizes might not even be produced due to the financial crisis, and this event has become an epic legend that is unattainable in the game industry.

And the amulet was melted into a gold ingot by its owner, and sold along with the diamond, because he wanted to pay his debt.

Only the Holy Grail has been preserved, well kept by its owner in his own safe.

This has to be said to be the end of a generation of legends.

Although Dong Chen's game rewards are not so delicately combined with the game itself, nor are they specially made for the game, they still exist in the game and are game quest items.

As a sci-fi game, shuttles, space travel and robots are indispensable.

Moreover, the value is absolutely simple and crude, and if it cannot be combined delicately, it will break through people's cognition from another aspect.

Private space shuttles, air tickets for space travel, free board and lodging coupons, service robots, etc., plus some miscellaneous things, Sun Hao made a rough calculation, and the money sent out every year because of this game is worth billions RMB.

In this regard, he can only comfort himself, "Okay, okay, this game can make us more money, this money is nothing."

"And it's not just for people to play games, it also has another important mission, not just money."

"That's right," Dong Chen patted Sun Hao on the shoulder and said, "Money doesn't really mean much to us now, and now the most talked about in the operation of many departments is not Funds, but resource allocation data, money will only be discussed when discussing cooperation with our partners.”

"I think you can go to space a few more times. You went too little before, and you have enough knowledge of the universe."

Sun Hao glanced at him and said, "I'm not as free as you, let's talk when I'm free."

"Let's talk about the game first. I found a problem. Since it is a warm-up for the possible doomsday, the authenticity here needs to be modified. The image here is a bit too game-like and cartoon-like. "

After speaking, he looked at Wang Lijun, the director of the game department, "If it is too differentiated, can its publicity effect meet our requirements? Does the game department have a calculation?"

"I have calculated it, Mr. Sun," Wang Lijun found a report from the database of his game department and said, "We have conducted a joint investigation with the market, and the data is..."

After the understanding just now, other people have also learned about the shock of this game, and have raised their own questions and opinions, wanting to make this game more perfect from different angles.

Because they are in different positions, and the game is too huge, and the structure and content involved are also various, so they raise questions from different angles, and each suggestion has practical significance. It pays to be perfect.

And this is what Dong Chen wants to see.

He and the people in the game department will only solve the problems of the game itself, but this game is different from the previous games and will cover the whole world, so it needs the management of the best and largest group company in the world Give some comments.
