Chapter 83 Climb! Climb! The game begins! Only

On October 24, 1986, the red and white version of Tetris was released.

On October 31, the first-party "Doctor Mary" game "Doctor Mary" of the Red and White Machines will be released.

On November 1, Sega's "Diamond Blocks" arcade was launched.

Just take a look at the actual operation of Tetris and you will know how to play this game - check for omissions and fill in the gaps before graphic shapes occupy the entire screen, and eliminate tiles line by line.

This abnormality is in line with the forced mentality of humanizing chaos into order. A five-minute trial will soon make people immerse themselves in it and turn into a fierce battle for hours.

Even "pong", "Space Invaders", or "Super Mario Bros." were once popular, but there was no game like "Tetris" that made people enjoy it day and night.

On November 3, the sales volume of the "Tetris" red and white machine version was confirmed in the first week.

Five hundred thousand sets.

This week not only reached the last one of Wanhu, but also the first red and white machine game "Endless Fantasy", which also created the largest sales volume in the first week of history of Red and White Machine.

It seems that the streets of Tokyo are filled with the background music of Tetris "Peeror".

A square pendant hanging on the schoolbag.

Clip pillow in the claw machine.

Kids eat cubes of candy.

It seems that the entire Japan has entered a parallel space and time because of a game.

On Sunday, November 2, the first weekend version of "Takahashi's Party" will be broadcast on Tokyo TV at 6 p.m. Japan's top superstar, along with Mikko and Yamaguchi Momoe, was hailed as the three singers of the Showa era, to participate in the program.

The ratings of the first episode exceeded 10%, which is comparable to the ratings of the program hosted by Akashi's saury during the same period.

On November 15, the sales volume of the red and white version of Tetris exceeded one million.

Wanhu became the sixth third-party manufacturer to join Nintendo's Red and White Machine Million Sales Club, and it is also the fastest sales of more than one million.

On November 16, Takahashi announced in the third episode of "Takahashi's Party" weekend version that the Tetris National Tour will be held.

The age group champion is awarded 1 million yen, and the age champion is awarded 10 million yen.

In December, William, the current president of Broadbond, the general agent of North American Wanhu Games, flew to Japan to negotiate the agency business of Tetris in North America.

In mid-December, the one with the fiery red ten thousand household logo was introduced to the Tetris arcade and landed in North America.

Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Houston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Miami, St. Louis, Boston and other cities appeared at the first time.

With the falling tile, the melody of "Peeror" resounded throughout the United States. Politicians claimed that this was a cultural aggression by the Soviet camp on the United States and demanded that the Tetris arcade be banned.

After discussions by Congress, the ban proposal was rejected. Tetris browsed all over the US newspapers.

In early 1987, the American version of the red and white machine NES was launched in North America, and Tetris was the only non-Nintendo first-party first-party work.

With the game "Tetris", Wanhu's operating income soared dozens of times. Based on capital calculations, Wanhu officially entered the ranks of Japan's first-tier game manufacturers.

The only drawback is that the European market has not opened smoothly.

The customs of countries led by the United Kingdom refused to pass the Tetris arcade. Ten thousand households are targeting the European market and de-rust Tetris.

With everything going well, Wanhu increased the shipment volume of various versions of Tetris, and also stepped up the launch of several adapted games of Wanhu to the Red and White Machine.

On Friday, January 18, 1987, five ten thousand household games were released at the same time, and the competitors were surprised and fans were caring.

This day is called "The Day of Ten Thousand Houses".

In February 1987, Takahashi began to tour the Tetris competition throughout Japan. Takahashi's Party also launched a series of special chapters of the "Takahashi's National Competition".

Many film and television people were invited to participate in the special production of "Takahashi's Party". Each issue not only reflects the player's style, but also reflects the style of various places.

Takahashi put forward the slogan in the show for the first time, "The players in the world are one family!"

In early March 1987, the Tetris National Tour Grand Prix qualifiers ended.

Forty-seven major regions competed for the championships of all ages, with 142.

Among them, there are two adult champions in the Kanto Local Gunma Prefecture. Two young men in their early twenties held a "Tetris" marathon. In the difficult arcade version of Tetris, they completed the record of 23 hours of continuous gameplay, and the arcade crashed and fell down at the same time.

Takahashi interviewed the two of them specifically and gave them deep condolences and greetings. However, he did not support their behavior, saying that the game should be restrained, and said that the game would be produced in a match version of Tetris arcade to avoid such a situation from happening again.

In mid-March 1987, the cumulative sales of "Tetris" game "Doctor Mary" on the Red and White Machine Platform exceeded 800,000 sets. The sales of "Tetris" game "Diamond" on the Sega SG-1000 platform exceeded 500,000 sets.

A series of Tetris games in the arcade led by "Tetris" have emerged. Taidong, Namco, Konami, Snk, and Capcom have all launched such arcade games.

In early April 1987, the five games released on the Day of Wanhu, "Magic Tower 1&2", "Bubble Dragon 1&2", "Magic Bubble Dragon", "Rainbow Island", and "Magic Boy" all exceeded 500,000 sets, and was called "Miracle of Wanhu.

On Saturday, May 16, 1987, the Tetris National Finals was held at the Tokyo National Arena.

The stadium with a standard capacity of 80,000 people sold tickets close to the maximum capacity of 90,000 people. The whole audience was full, and countless temporary actions were added.

This is an unparalleled highlight moment for Tetris, for ten thousand households, for players, and even for the electronic game industry.

Not only were there nearly 90,000 viewers on site, but there were countless viewers guarding in front of the TV. The advertising fee between the factory in this episode of "Takahashi's Party" has increased to one million yen per second.

Countless Tetris players watch this unprecedented game event with rippling hearts.

The little geisha pointed to Takahashi on the TV and said with a crisp voice, "Sister, is this the person you like?"

Countless players who are intertwined by the fate of the game and Takahashi, either on the scene or in front of the TV, are watching this unprecedented game event.
