The unique memory of Chinese game history

This generation is full of the history of the Chinese game, they are happy, because this era of game memory only belong to them;

Hear the small overlord also to be out of the flat, in addition to a sneer, whether you still have involuntary feeling?

The game Enlightenment of childhood

At that time, your home has a small overlord learning machine, parents in order to let you will not lose in the starting line, specifically for you to buy. In order for you to concentrate on learning five typing, even the handle is hidden.

But Xiaoming's parents to buy him is a small overlord game machine, he has a lot of 99 in 1, many students find him borrow to play.

Super Mary, Soul Doo, Adventure Island ... Well, in the end you didn't learn to five typing.

Later, you know the boxing Emperor 95, 96, 97, 98, Alloy warheads, kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms, 1943 and so on these large amusement rides, you gradually forget the little overlord.

Why? More times you think games are fun to play with!

Yes, from the beginning of your understanding of the matter, your game path goes into the second phase.

Multiplayer games/History of online games

Some students found a place opened a computer game room, so come back to tell us a kind of call "red alert" of the games, from now on, you began to experience the expensive Internet cafes LAN games. The price of five yuan per hour allows students to either watch rich xiaoming play or sneak up on their parents ' money.

Many of the most common ironies of the game today are:

The pupil can't afford to hurt!

One day you found a game called "Web Genesis" (UO), but friends prefer online StarCraft.

You start playing "King of Kings" (a famous game website early is the king of the Wan Wang's plug-in website), "The Network Three Kingdoms" ...

Since then the network game began to enter the agency operation phase, the Chinese mainland game market quietly entered the eve of the outbreak.

2001, the computer magazine introduced a game began to sweep the internet cafes, Beijing, the operation of the "Stone Age." (this time because the online game market has not yet formed, editing the recommended game or conscience, the soft text to promote the way to 03 years or so before becoming the official promotion channel.) The author is a mountain village husband, has always believed that NetEase's "Dream West Tour" is borrowed from the "Stone Age" model.

Not a few months, you found a game called "Millennium", you like the style of the game, killing the game content so that you have unprecedented feeling! But this game is a monthly fee, the monthly card to 60 yuan, and is not where to buy a stored value card! (The game channel Market has not formed, most people wait and see), can not afford to buy card you actually know to hold down the return Non-stop login to be forced to log in (do not need to recharge).

Do you remember the order to buy items that made you laugh for a long time?

@ Boss buy Communist Party no new China 1

Remember the scene when the Emperor Mausoleum opened and you died on the ground?

You found that the "Red Moon" no "Dragon Clan" fun, "Jin Yong Group-man Chuan online" than "Dahua West travel Online" fire. But these few game icons are very few people click, because everybody is in "The legend" to look for rake cat!

At this time the basic you gradually began to precipitate down, charging the way is relatively single, buy game times. At this moment, I have to mention the legend. You can buy "legend" stored value card in any Internet Café boss hand, but other games are not necessarily! Why is that? This is a push "legend" channel promotion of the behind-the-scenes hand operation results, in the Chengdu Game Circle of people should be thunderclap it. Without his offline channel, where do we go to buy cards?

November 2003, Tian-Tian Interactive company due to invest too much money to operate the network game "Magic Sword", into trouble. ......

We slowly found a startling fact, the grand in the outbreak period of steady growth, even if encountered hackers, plug, this deadly blow.

Countless people scold a grand play legends, countless people to the power of the agency after a sudden turn off the thousands of years of resentment regret, countless people to bubble Hall fondle admiringly ... It all makes sense of a formula that can be played on the continental end of the market:

1. First-class product line + first-class operation + First-class channel = success

2. Second-rate product line + second-rate operation + Second-rate channel = Alive

3. Three-flow product line + three-flow operation + three-flow channel = closed

But the outbreak has passed, the market began to stabilize, began to subdivide, the money is not profitable. Chess game market by the joint public and Tencent split up, the casual game market was long tour and the grand divide up; RPG game market was Sheng Yamato nine city divided up; This basically explains the formula above.

Who made the money, who failed

From the data I learned to pull this egg should be the following: The following ranking belongs to the author's personal views.

Game products to make money:

1. Jin Dance group (the fine operation of the dance group is very successful);

2. The journey (the boss of history is an expert!);

3. Hot Blood Lake (strengthen stone system is very successful!);

4.DNF,CF,QQ dance, such as QQ games (huge user group and large intensity operation activities);

5. Dream West Tour (mature cost control system and good game design);

Successful Game Products:

1. World of Warcraft (arguably the most successful product operating in China)

2. The blood legend (standing not to rely on true ability)

3. Dream West Tour (domestic game essence)

4. Swordsman Love Series (domestic game representative works)

5. Bubble Hall (King of Leisure games)

Failed Game Products:

1. The world of trees (break on the open suit)

2. Thousand years (suddenly close clothes, a large number of players lost, rumors of corporate capital chain break shareholder withdrawal)

3. The Perfect World (I think it is the tree World upgrade version)

4. Martial Arts (Do you reader master did not find anything?)

5. The legendary World (Bonzi also hinted that the next issue of the legendary contract for us to pass the light)

Applause of the game products not hit:

1.EVE (this game is said to be signed when the President of Iceland also video link!)

2. Legend 3 (not explained)

3. Miracle (few people have to know the grand why toss this thing out)

4. Jin Orchestra (although it is a failure product, but it for the long tour signing dance troupe to make a contribution!)

5.EQ Series (Chinese still like the Three Kingdoms!)

See here, some of the master has been completely confused, what this fellow is talking about? Some master feel very refreshing.

The end of the market from 2000 to 2012 of the 12 years of development, from the outbreak to stability, from blossom to troika. We will not remember the passing, but we remember the "Blood Legend", "Bubble Hall", "Miracle MU", "World of Warcraft", "Dream West" and "Jin Dance group" These names, they represent the development of Chinese games important time node. Ups and downs all the way, the initial no ability to pay us, is now the backbone of the game consumption, the maturity of consumer habits, so that the market is no longer crazy. Now the master recalls how many online games you have played, you will find such a truth, you like this game, but you feel that the operation of the company's Black Heart, accelerated the death of the game, but you can only change a game to play. As a result you look back, the month card game is truly cost-effective and still very fun. (In fact, otherwise, the game to achieve how balanced to sell game time to make money, not to mention the game development and operation are high cost input)

Conclusion

In fact, we are the generation of the complete history of the Chinese game, we are happy, because it belongs to our generation of the game memory, we are sad, because that memory is also not bright.

Now we, looking back, just know how many steps are too big, pull the egg. The happiest time may be the double man on the little overlord.

A lot of good news in the transmission, a lot of bad news in the spread, the players also began to patriotic, they feel that the domestic game does not give force, scold the domestic developers do not give force, not as good as you do. You resolutely into the game industry, want to realize your game dream-to do a game!
