In fact, many arcade games we came into contact with back then had multiple endings, such as the familiar "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "1945", "Blade of the Warring States" and "Sengoku ACE". Each protagonist has a different ending, and will reach GOOD END or BAD END based on the player's performance.
For players of "1945", if they see this ending, it is a BAD END. As for the reason! Everyone understands!

Yes, arcade games and PC games are the same. If you want to get the perfect ending, you must pay a certain price. Generally speaking, for PC RPG games, as long as we follow the guide, we can basically see the ending we want.
arcade games are different. Even if you know the trigger conditions, you may not be able to succeed. You still need a certain amount of experience and strength.

Today, the editor will review these old arcade games with you and see which endings you have never seen before?
"Monster Dao Zhongji"
If one day your life span is over and Yan Jun wants you to report it quickly, will you choose to struggle a little, or go directly to reincarnation? The protagonist of the
game is such an "unfortunate" person. He did good deeds and accumulated virtues during his lifetime, and he never tolerated killing. Unexpectedly, his luck was so bad that he died as soon as the game started. What the protagonist has to do is to use all means to survive. After meeting Lord Yama, he will be able to enter the six paths of reincarnation

hell based on his performance, which is full of evil spirits. If the protagonist wants to get a good ending in this environment, he must perform well.
The last level is the most important and directly affects the ending of the protagonist.

There is a bathing fairy in the game, which appears in different places.
If you are lucky, she will be a fairy when you walk over and she will replenish your energy.

But if you are unlucky, you will turn into a monster when you walk over, and then a group of monsters will be summoned. Scared to death.

The ending of the game is related to the score obtained in the last level. The higher the score, the more serious the killing, and BAD END will come.
If you score less or even no points, you can return to Yang or enter the heaven.

score: 2100 points, enter the hell realm

score: 1100 to 2000, enter the hungry ghost realm

score 600 to 1000, enter The score of animal realm

is: 100 to 500, the score of entering the human realm (returning Yang)

is zero, and entering the heavenly realm

Which of these endings will you choose? I believe everyone wants to enter the way of heaven!
But this is basically impossible. In a scene full of monsters, it is difficult for you to get through without firing a bullet.
"Revenge Elf"
"Revenge Elf" was a relatively rare game in the early years that allowed the use of enemy soldier characters. In my memory, it seems that only " Ninja " and "Kirby" can do it!

The game design is quite clever. The protagonist dies as soon as he appears. In order to save his lover, the doctor's soul transfer device can temporarily keep the soul alive, and it can also take the bodies of other people to fight.

There are three keys in the game, hidden in very mysterious places.
If you can't find it, you won't be able to enter the room to rescue the heroine. The difficulty of facing the BOSS will be greatly increased, and the ending will not be perfect.
If the three keys can be found, the heroine can be rescued directly.

Her firepower is the strongest, and she can kill the BOSS in a few hits and enter another ending.

The heroine’s firepower is the most powerful in the game, and she has a miraculous effect on the BOSS, almost killing her instantly.

There are two endings after clearing the level. The key depends on whether the male protagonist has collected the keys before.
Ending 1: The male protagonist failed to find all the keys and found no trace of his girlfriend. With the BOSS headquarters being bombed, his girlfriend is probably in danger as well. The male protagonist could only silently bless her, and his soul eventually disappeared.

Ending 2: The male protagonist successfully collected the key and rescued his girlfriend. On his deathbed, I could finally say goodbye to my girlfriend.
"Thank God for giving me this opportunity. My wish has been fulfilled, and I have no regrets."

There was a game called "Zombie Attack" back then. In fact, the setting of this game is similar. The protagonist must collect a few beads before opening the last door, otherwise the game will be over directly, and even the final BOSS will not be seen.

"Blade of the Warring States"
"Blade of the Warring States" is more interesting, and there are many factors that affect the ending.

Generally speaking, the choices you make before entering the Magic City will directly affect the ending of the game. Players can choose to attack from the front entrance, or sneak in from behind.
If you choose to break in through the front entrance, you will suffer huge fire suppression, and you will not be able to see the final BOSS; if you choose to sneak in from behind, you will still be counterattacked, but it will be slightly less difficult, and most importantly, you will be able to see the final BOSS.

Among them, Xiaoye’s solo ending is the funniest.
Ending 1: After the princess was successfully rescued, Master Qianhu asked her what she wanted as a reward, Xiaoye joked that I want a princess. It turned out that the princess really liked her, so she had to leave behind her back.

Ending 2: The princess was rescued by others first. But in order to get the reward, Xiaoye deliberately used the soul to transform into a princess to receive the award. Unexpectedly, Qianhu talked too much nonsense and chattered endlessly. When the time limit for the soul was up, Xiaoye returned to the original shape. When Xiaoye saw that something was wrong, she ran away immediately.

There is also an ending where Xiao Ye is dreaming.

If two people cooperate to clear the level, Xiaoye will plot against Ayi and take away his credit.

"Three Kingdoms"
In fact, I never noticed that "Three Kingdoms" also has three endings.
is mainly done when choosing to kill or release Cao Cao.

The three endings are:
Liu Bei restored the Han Dynasty (killed Cao Cao)
Cao Cao unified the country (choose to kill, but did not kill Cao Cao)
The Three Kingdoms (choose to release Cao Cao)

Although the arcade has become a piece of history in game development, it has not been forgotten over the years, but has been sought after by nostalgic players.
Today is the world of the post-00s generation, with all kinds of new games emerging one after another.

Players of our generation have long been at a loss for money, and no matter how interesting new games are, they cannot arouse interest.
After working hard for many years, we looked back again and realized that the carefree time in the game arcade was really too luxurious.
