Have you found out that, among the many nonsense about electronic products mentioned above, the most important thing is missing-game machines. Although I am not good at video games, even though I did not have a Wii of my own until I was 25 years old (now I have contributed to a demo machine for a game store ), however, my memories of game consoles are just as deep as those of all my friends in 1980s.

When I was in elementary school in year 23, a simple and easy room opposite to my home institution suddenly pasted a glass with "video game, the advertisement for developing intelligence-I bet that one thousand yuan is the word, and I still remember it. I think this should be the most primitive game machine room. It is actually a color TV and a red and white machine. The billing method is 5 cents at a time, and it will end when your life ends. You can also make 5 cents for each person, and the two players can play the game again.

At that time, what was the concept of 5 cents for me? At that time, I didn't have any pocket money (the primary school is in the courtyard of my family, that is, the legendary "children's primary school"). Most of the Popsicles were one cent, the mutton string is a string of 2 cents (my father will reward me for eating five strings when the test scores are good). The New Year's lucky money standard is 20 yuan. At that time, the game room couldn't afford it.

However, in the early 1990s s, people's living standards were changing with each passing day when the Reform and Opening Up were remarkable. Soon this kind of elementary game room will exit the market-first, the red and white machines start to enter the ordinary family, and second, the new "arcade hall" appears.

I can't remember which of my students bought the game machine first. In year 45, many of my students had it at home. At that time, almost every day at noon, students with game consoles would become a data point, with only three or four people at home, more than a dozen people join in to fight the "soul", "Sha romance", and "tank war.

At that time, the development of home game machines was also rapid. When I was in elementary school, I had seen red and white machines, Saturn, and proud overlord learning machines; the game card is also from single card to 2 in 1, 4 in 1 to 99 in 1 or even 999 in 1.

I said "yes" because I have never had a game machine of my own, and they all go to my classmates. However, the game machine is really helpful to my study-my dad promised to buy me a full score for my exam. As a result, the full score is not far from the full score until I graduated from primary school. Of course, I have never been able to own my own game machine.

The red and white machine dominated our lunch break, while the night after school was occupied by the arcade hall. I don't know when to start. I opened the first arcade room on the side of the road halfway from my home institution, and then three or four of them sprung up. At that time, the arcade was a coin of 5 cents, which was quite luxurious for me. It often took a long time to buy a coin, and then the game would be reimbursed in less than 5 minutes. However, it would take almost every day to go to the arcade to watch others. It doesn't matter. There are more people to watch than others. You don't have to be embarrassed.

After I went to junior high school, I broke my story with the game host. At that time, I watched videos and played billiards. It wasn't until high school that I started playing games again, but at that time I went to the internet cafe instead of the arcade hall.

I remember chatting with a group of students on the playground one day in elementary school in year 56. I heard a classmate boast that there is a very awesome game machine on the four layers of the school, he saw a sports instructor playing football and racing cars on it. It is said that the game machine has more than one hundred buttons ...... Nonsense. How can I find such a powerful game machine? A burst of laughter.

Later I learned that this is called "computer", and I learned the name "computer". Playing games is just one of its functions.
