red and white machine was released on July 15, 1983. In fact, this game console was not optimistic at the time because it started a bit late compared to other game consoles. And various problems occurred during the first six months. But gold will always shine. After the problem is successfully repaired, the sales of red and white phones are gradually improving, and the number of shipments is also increasing. At that time, there were three games released with the console, namely Donkey Kong, Little King Kong, and Popeye, which means that these three games are the ancestors of the red and white console games. When the
red and white machine was first released, there were no games, and most game companies took a wait-and-see attitude. As the topic of red and white phones became more and more popular, sales increased to 440,000 units in just one year, which was an astronomical figure at the time. The following year, Nintendo finally agreed to a third-party game production, Hudson and Namco seized the opportunity to successfully gain the popularity of the first batch of third-party games. These two manufacturers believe that all players are relatively familiar, and the games they create are not tired of playing. In this year, the sales of red and white phones reached 1 million. After that, the sales of red and white devices and the number of games developed were out of control.
As of the birth of the last game "Adventure Island 4" on the red and white consoles, the number of games on the red and white console platform has accumulated to 1267. Of course, there is no official data on this number, all of which are private statistics, so the number is also controversial. However, more than a thousand models are absolutely certain. The picture of
was taken from "The Ultimate Archive of Red and White Machines", the most complete and authoritative encyclopedia of Red and White Machines.
For our generation of players, the red and white games are all handed down, and they have a profound impact on the players. For young people today, the picture quality of the eight-bit machine is already unsightly, but for those who have experienced it, every frame of the game is a feeling. In fact, for many years, players have always had a question, what was the original game of the red and white machine? Have you ever played it?
Actually, everyone has played! There are three games released simultaneously by
and Red and White, namely Donkey Kong, Little King Kong and Popeye, which are all transplanted versions of arcade machines. The game has four options, namely 1P and 2P, A difficulty and B difficulty. This setting lays a solid foundation for similar games in the later stage. We will find A and B options in many games, with different levels of difficulty and different experiences. But for novice players, option B is always a restricted area. Although the three games
opened an era, with the emergence of more exciting games, they were gradually buried. In order to increase the number of pirated cassettes in the later period, these three games will be recharged indiscriminately. Therefore, most of the late players have played. However, it usually takes a few minutes to change the game.
estimates that many players still don't know that there is a witch throwing a skull in Popeye!
In the same year, Nintendo also released an epoch-making sparrow game, which became one of the most popular games of the year. Although Mahjong has been available on the arcade platform for a long time, it is still relatively new to be able to play Mahjong directly on the TV at home. Although it is the first mahjong game on the red and white machine, it gives players three choices of difficulty. The operation is simple and easy to use. It instantly captured the hearts of a large number of players. In the end, the sales of 2.13 million made it the ninth place in the red and white machine. Become an eternal legend.
and another puzzle game "Backgammon" is slightly inferior, but as the earliest chess game of red and white machines, "Backgammon" is of extraordinary significance and its sales are far ahead. Back then, this game made a lot of people fascinated, even sleepless.
To be honest, even if it is a two-person game of gomoku in reality, it is not as fun as playing video games. This is the charm of red and white console games!
For domestic players in the early years, baseball, golf, rugby and other sports are relatively beeping! I haven't understood the rules of baseball until now, not to mention back then. Open the game and see this screen and switch the game directly. I wonder how many players are like me?
also blamed the lack of specializing spirit, otherwise the gameplay can be completely learned in this gameClear.
So what is the sales volume of this sports game? If
said the sales volume, it is estimated that domestic players are incredible. Such a sports game has 2.35 million sales. Abruptly, he ranked ahead of the sparrows, and took the eighth place. The fire of the
red-and-white machine gradually caused a voice in society: playing video games will be fun. So Nintendo released two entertaining learning games: "Popeye Learn English" and "Little King Kong JR Learns Math". The appearance of these two games has successfully captured the hearts of many parents. Children not only get happiness while playing games, but they can also learn various knowledge.
and these two games later became the most common games in domestic learning machines.
In addition, this year there is a more far-reaching game "Mario Bros." It was the birth of this game that laid the Mario series' status. The levels in the game are repeated and repeated, and the number of enemy soldiers that appears is only so few. But what's interesting is that these monsters will increase in level as the level increases, and in the later stage they will even have to top three times before turning over.
didn't seem to have cleared the level at that time, and even suspected that this game has unlimited levels.
Now when we see these games in the early 1983, there will always be a trace of special emotion mixed in them, the indescribable feeling is like our lost youth. The game has not been forgotten because of its age, but has become more and more nostalgic with age. Perhaps for our generation, it is not the game that is worth remembering, but the happiest time ever. The graphics and text of the editor of
