"Now, it would be ridiculous if there was a game designer who said he had never been influenced by Jester Lee, it would be like a film director who said he had never seen Hitchcock's films, and a writer had never read Shakespeare's dramas. In the game world, Jester Lee was Hitchcock, Spielberg, Shakespeare, and Tolstoy. His design ideas rooted in human nature would be more precious than all current or future technologies and will last forever."

This is the third time that Time magazine has selected Jester Lee, a legend in the gaming industry, as the character of the year. The story about this legend begins at the beginning, the summer of 1984...

"My name is Jester Lee, a Chinese-American, nineteen years old, now studying in the Department of Electrical Engineering at UCLA and has just finished her sophomore program."

A young man with black hair, yellow skin and black pupils talked to himself in front of the mirror on the wall, his eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

Because only this young man knows that the person in the mirror in front of him is not himself.

His name was Li Ming, a 22-year-old college student who was about to graduate in 2014. He clearly remembered that just the night before, he was playing a creative game "Game-Dev-Tycoon" in his dormitory all night, which was translated into Chinese as a game development giant.

Just as he was using his own developed console, punching Sony and kicking Microsoft, the single platform of the magic game game was sold by tens of millions to dominate the world's game world, he accidentally fell asleep, but when he woke up, he found that the world had already been beyond recognition.

I actually came to the wilderness of video games thirty years ago, and in 1984, the United States was reborn as a Chinese young man.

Moreover, it inherits the other party's memory.

Does this sound incredible? It’s like a plot that is extremely clichéd on a certain website and a certain type of novel?

Li Ming also thinks so.

Even if I often read novels of rebirth, when all this happens to me, Li Ming or Jester is a little difficult to accept.

He had no time to call such novels crazy.

Just when Li Ming, or now he should be called Jester Lee, was recalling the memory of the original owner of this body in his mind.

A crisp beep sounded in his mind without warning.

Similar to the "drip" sound of the beeping alarm when the computer was just turned on, followed by a mechanized sound without any emotion echoing in his ears.

"The binding is successful...the host is qualified...the system is officially started...countdown...10,9,8,7..."

"What's this!"

The moment the sound rang, Jester Lee turned his head in horror and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but the bathroom was empty. When he listened carefully to the source of the sound again, he actually found that the sound was directly heard in his mind.

“……2,1,0…countdown ends, welcome to get the game development giant system.”

Then, the strange sound disappeared without a trace.

And in front of Jester, there were patterns of columns and columns appearing like a virtual screen in a science fiction movie.

This is an interface that is not fancy or even a bit simple, with only a few simple options on it, and at the top of the interface there is a number zero, and in front of this number, the balance is displayed.

"Zero balance?"

Jester didn't know what this meant, or what it meant.

The other five options are, R&D, training, store, task, view.

Jester was at a loss at what was happening in front of him, but driven by strong curiosity, he still reached out to the virtual screen in front of him.

When his hand just touched the first "research and development" of the five options on the virtual screen, this option lit up, and then returned to its previous dimness, and then a line of conspicuous words appeared on the screen.

"You currently have insufficient permissions, please unlock it before viewing this option."

At this time, Jester discovered that the appearance of these five options was not exactly the same. Except for the fourth task, the other four showed a dark gray color, as if they were not activated, but there was a faint light flashing on one of the tasks.

Sure enough, after Jester clicked the gray options one by one and all prompted that he had insufficient permissions, he clicked on the "Task" column that was still on the shimmering light.

Swish!

The virtual interface in front of him suddenly changed, and the previous options disappeared, except for the conspicuous balance zero in the column at the top of the screen.

Instead, it seems to be a mission interface that is very similar to the online game he played before.

There is a big golden question mark in front of the task.

And in front of the question mark, there are still words that are not finished.

"Task: Make your first game and release it successfully to unlock the other four options, and indicate how much purchase points the task will be given to the system owner."

Behind this task, there is a comment. By purchasing points, you can purchase all released or unsold games through this system, as well as their design ideas, source code of various powerful game engines, advanced console architecture, and even improve your technical level through training, etc., etc., allowing you to create better games...

Seeing this comment, a thought suddenly flashed through Jester's mind.

"This is not the game development system in the game development giant's game. The wish I made before will not really come true... But this game is completely different from that in the game..."

Jester suddenly remembered that when he was fascinated by the simulation game, he actually said arrogantly that if he was allowed to return to the pioneering era of electronic games, he would definitely be able to punch Hell and kick Big Sega. As for Sony and Microsoft, Who-are-they?

But I thought that just a few casual words really brought him to this era when he was unfamiliar with the place. It would be too rude to be...

Having said that, Jester is still very familiar with the game as a game development giant.

After passing the level for fifty or sixty times, he unlocked all achievements, matched with almost all game types, and developed countless games with great reviews, with the highest sales of a single game sold more than 60 million copies... But the system in front of him that seemed to exist in his mind was very different from the game he played called a game development giant.

However, after just a little thought, Jester understood that many of the options in the game are not suitable in the real world.

For example, the game only provides four game themes at the beginning, and dozens or hundreds of other themes require players to unlock them using the R&D points they obtained.

But this situation does not exist in the real world. A game producer can create whatever theme he wants, so naturally there is no need to unlock it.

For example, after each game is made, there is an option to summarize and generate game reports. This option allows players to summarize whether the type and theme of the game completed are appropriate.

What are the advantages and disadvantages?

For example, war-oriented games are very suitable for matching with simulation games, but they are not suitable for casual games.

For example, through summary, we can also know whether the proportion of the game functions performed when developing games before is appropriate.

For example, a casual game does not require any exciting tasks or complex artificial intelligence, but requires extremely high gameplay and powerful level design, while an adventure game requires a great task system, and an action game requires especially powerful artificial intelligence.

Different games like this have different focus.

These summary needs to be concluded by players in the game one game after another. In the real world, these things are ready-made because he has known them for a long time and even memorized them.

After all, you want to make an excellent game, and you don’t know that these are simply impossible to do.

Moreover, there are many different things in real games and games, and they must not be copied and copied.

Therefore, these have no effect on reality, and even misleading options are naturally deleted, but a few things that were not originally in the game were added.

For example, purchase and task.

Oh, by the way, there is no option for hiring in the real system, so this is very simple, because you can hire people directly in the real world.

The employment in the game...will directly hire illegal households that do not exist in this world?

After sorting out all the information, Li Ming or Jester or Li accepted his fate, after all, he had already arrived in this world.

Even if he wants to go back, he may not be able to go back.

Moreover, in the minds of Li Ming, or Jester Lee, does he really yearn for this era? As a loyal player in electronic games, how could he not envy this era? Do you want to rise and grow with this era?

This is the pioneering period of electronic games! How accomplished it would be to be able to personally participate in the construction and development of an emerging industry decades later, after the industry is perfected, and then it will be a moment of worship by future generations?

Even, inexplicably, Jester still had a vague impulse and excitement.

As a die-hard game enthusiast, he knew that the golden age that all game fans yearned for is coming.

Countless classic games are about to be released.

Especially the masterpiece that will appear in the near future.

The one that is recognized by people inside and outside the industry as the only nuclear weapon in the gaming industry.

Witnessing its appearance and accompanying its dominance in the world seems a bit like a pilgrimage to Jester.

Maybe the description is inappropriate, but for him, for almost all game enthusiasts, that's it.

As of the moment when Jester traveled through time, the total sales of this series totaled 52.5 billion sets, and the single-player sold 40 million sets on a single platform, ranking first in the world's electronic game history, twice as far as the second place, and the direct sales value generated was more than 30 billion US dollars, and the added value generated indirectly is at least three times that of this number.

That is to say, indirectly or directly generates more than $100 billion in the past thirty years since its birth.

Especially this game saved the world's gaming industry on the verge of collapse in the most difficult times.

He forced this game to be a legendary halo.

In case of the game that is not enough to describe with all the great and immortal words...

Do you think I'm bragging?

No, no, I did not exaggerate even a letter, the description of every pinyin here is the most appropriate.

Because, this game is so dicky.

etc!

Jester suddenly widened his eyes. He realized that it was June 1984. Former overlord Atari had just collapsed during the Atari attack. They hid hundreds of millions of game cartridges worth of millions in the desert of New Mexico. The overlord Hell, who is unshakable in the next ten years, just released their home computer game console, the famous FC. The legendary game console in China called the Red and White Machines less than a year.

Although this game console is very popular in Japan, it has not sold a million units so far. As for the NES being sold in Europe and the United States, it will take a whole year and three months.

And this game that is extremely legendary, which makes Ren Hell and their FC predominate have not yet been released!

When he thought of the influence and money-making ability of that game, Jester O Lee's eyes instantly turned red.

There was a voice in his mind that kept shouting.

Take him down!

Jester Lee also clenched his fists hard.

His eyes were inadvertently filled with a light called desire.

Since he was reborn and allowed him to obtain that strange system that was unknown, why couldn't he enter this magnificent era of the game world to call the wind and rain?

Why not?

Must take him down!

Must be sure and certain!
Chapter completed!
