What is the most classic spell in the history of the game? If let me choose, that nature is Le Mei's "up and down left right Baba". Think that year, I used to rely on this "secret", successfully swept "soul Bucket Luo", "Salamander Snake", just in "Super Mario" touched the nail, because the game is not the company produced by Le Mei. This is not the key, in fact, in order to achieve this operation, the game machine must have a "cross", that is, the cross-key on the handle. If not, can you imagine how to use a rocker to accurately shake these positions?

This is going to talk about the horizontal well, in the game industry, although he created the palm of the prototype and developed the Palm machine rules, but we still regard him as "the father of the cross key", rather than "the father of the palm machine." It seems that the latter title seems more ambitious, but the former is the key to making the game different, especially for gaming consoles.


The cross-key still embodies the "elimination technology" balance. On the surface, the previous game console using a three-dimensional joystick control, can make the game become more flexible, and the flat cross button can only control 8 directions (adjacent to the two keys can be turned into oblique), but the early game is actually "jungle gym", in a square nine lattice, let the game characters move. The more critical problem is that the rocker is particularly prone to damage due to the user's various "careless" and "uneven", Cross keys do not have this problem. In terms of user experience, directional control is just as important as battery life and machine longevity. As a result, Nintendo's budget is tight, in order to minimize the red and white machine manufacturing costs, and choose a more inexpensive cross-key control scheme, a little exaggerated.


But in the invention of the cross-key, there is a more interesting reason, that was born in 1983, the red and white machine, naked "plagiarism" in 1980, the same factory palm machine Game&watch, of course, the Palm machine is also the invention of transverse Jin Ping.


The first generation of Game&watch has only two control keys, mainly to allow the character to move around, but the two directions are not scalable. With the Palm machine selling, allowing the character to move more freely to expand the type of game. With the rocker is of course not realistic, after all, the palm is flat, suddenly "long" out of a raised rocker, carry up very inconvenient. What if each direction is represented by a key? The small panel will be full of buttons, the button is too low, users can hardly press. Thus, a rocker "beat Flat", the button integration of the cross-key scheme, it was born. Shortly after the first generation of Game&watch, the same in 1980, the cross-key became the standard for subsequent game&watch.


Simple, portable, and durable, the combination of these three elements makes the cross key a standard model for handheld and home game consoles for many years to come, and you should have seen it elsewhere, such as TVs, DVD remotes, car stereos ... Not long ago, I bought two smart boxes, one for dad, one for their own, dad that remote control is the cross key, and I this remote control using touch screen mode. As a result, in the process of use, the cross key again to win the touch screen mode, the reason is very simple, 4-inch touch screen, a small finger "one small step" on the 50-inch TV is "a big step", really too difficult to control.
