First of all, thank you for building this platform in the arcade era, which brings us many beautiful memories. Actually, I wanted to record my childhood memories a long time ago, but I have never found a like-minded group. Now that you have the platform of the arcade era, you can finally share the happiness of the past with everyone to see if you have experienced the same life.

A mediocre childhood, unique memories!

Xiaobawang game console is full of fun!

I am a child who grew up in Shenzhen, Guangdong. I lived in a tin house before the first grade. I had never been exposed to electronic games at that time. The only thing that can be addicted to is TV sets. During this period, I learned Cantonese through TVB TV series. After the second grade, we moved to a community in Longhua. It was also from this time that the gate of the New World opened

. When we joined the new house, we didn’t know which relative gave me a little bawang game console with a learning cassette and some yellow boxes. At that time, we were young (my family had 3 children, I had a sister, and my youngest was my younger brother). We didn’t know what Xiaobawang was, and we really used it as a tool for learning to type. Of course, it is impossible for us to learn what Wubi typing is! For a period of time, I didn’t understand the use of Xiaobawang, and it was meaningless to type, so I was put aside to eat dust.

is precisely this reason that I have been involved in FC games for more than a year!

One day, I saw a lot of cassettes on the counter of a store with my friends. I said, why are these cassettes the same as the cassettes at my home? It was not until today that I realized that Xiao Ba Wang could change to the cassette game! In the days to come, FC games are available, such as " Street Fighter ", "SD Fighter whirlwind", "Super Mario", "Tank War", " Doctor Mario ", " Shadow Legend ", etc., are all ready-made.

Until today, I still haven’t figured out how "Street Fighter" is making waves. It won’t even come out even if it hurts until the finger is hurt!

Although many games have not passed, I really miss the feeling of hiring with a group of friends on the battlefield that summer. What I remember most in childhood was buying cassettes. I almost finished playing games at home and went to the store to buy them. Looking at 64in1 and 128in1, I felt like I made a lot of money, but when I got home and installed the Little Bastard, I realized that it was all a trick, and the game was repeated again and again.

school store card drawer

The shop next to the school, that is our paradise!

I remember that one time the shop owner built a card drawer. At that time, 5 cents were exchanged for 5 coins, and started to draw cards by investing coins. At that time, our group of students were completely trapped in it, and immediately ran out to draw cards after class. A large group of friends are surrounding you. If you can draw a flash card, transparent card, or fluorescent card, it will immediately cause cheers and may even be taken to the school to show off. The cards are extremely regular for our children, so I still keep them. Although only part of the cards in the photos below are placed, they are all my childhood memories and I can't bear to throw them away.

And this shop owner is also quite cunning and often uses some tricks to confuse us children. I remember there was a lottery in a small shop, and I used my money to buy cards to scratch the prize. The special prize was a big toy similar to a robot, which made me so greedy. There are only about 10 cards left in the lottery bottle, and the boss kept instigating me to say that the special prize was inside. I couldn't stand the temptation, so I bought all the scratch cards when my head heated up, but after scratching it, I didn't find the special prize. The shop owner pretended to realize it suddenly. Oh, a card seemed to fall out just now, and the special prize must be that one.

is just like that, he was foolishly cheated.

It would be popular to collect "stickers" to receive prizes. If you collect all 90 stickers, you can get a game console. We believed it was naive at that time, and it took a whole few months to successfully collect 89 pictures, which was the last one that no one got.It's a cheating father!

Yoyo episode

I remember that at that time, TVB's "Sharp Speed" and "Spirometer" were very popular. The owners of small shops with business acumen keenly noticed that they would sell related toys in a timely manner:Yoyo (Sharp). At that time, I thought playing yo-yo was very handsome, but I broke it when I fell to the ground when I was playing.

A group of friends were playing at that time, but at the beginning I didn’t know how to use those moves, and I didn’t know the simplest ones. But when they shook their hands on Mao TV, the yo-yo was set to be downstairs? A few of us boys gathered in the class to discuss "how to use it". The theory was studied for a long time but there was no result. Until one day, one of the friends excitedly told us that he had successfully mastered the skills and just needed to face the palm of his hand up when he was swinging. Only then did we realize that before, we were all facing downwards!

That day my friend Wang Dapao said to take me to a fun place. We walked to an intersection outside the community and walked into a small shop with blue cloth door curtains. The shop is not big, the lights are not very bright, and there are various flashing game consoles around it. It was very noisy inside, and the sound of the game console and the sound of the rocker button impressed me. Wang Dapao bought a few copper plates at the counter and then took me to play a fighting game where an old woman who can spit out dentures and would put out a bunch of "bullets". It was only a long time later that I learned that this is " Haoxue Temple Clan ".

Later, I gradually became familiar with the game hall and knew what these arcade games were called. However, even if I play it frequently, my skills are quite bad. I feel that I have no talent for these match-playing games. When he saw his friend playing "The King of Fighters", he felt so awesome. He could even play some special skills that he couldn't understand. He had a trick that he had a glimpse of his head. At that time, he felt so envious. During this period, I liked a shooting game in the arcade hall, which was called "Vietnam Battle" at that time. 1 coin and 3 lives, and it was so enjoyable to play on the tank. Later I learned about it and found out that the game is called " Alloy Slug ".

Now that arcade store has been changing for a long time, and the feeling can never be found again. When I grew up and had a computer, I realized that I could use arcade simulator to play various arcade games, reducing the difficulty of those arcade games back then, and then clearing the levels one by one. After that, the one who played the most was "Alloy Scepter". At the beginning, there were only 123 generations on the simulator. Later, I saw in the video game city that it had already been released.

I still can’t forget the passion of the game hall back then. I occasionally go to the video game room in the shopping mall and still have the urge to go up and play with those game consoles. Maybe this is youth!

Gameboy

About the 5th and 6th grades, a friend in the class brought a game console called Gameboy. When we saw it, our eyes lit up. Damn, such a small handheld machine can even be replaced with cassettes, isn’t it just a smaller version of the Little Overlord?

Then under his introduction, I also played Pokemon . In order to play with Pokemon well, I bought a thick guide book! (I didn't study so hard back then) I also bought an online line to compete with him with Pokémon. At that time, I didn’t know why I played "Pokemon Crystal Edition". At that time, there were some bugs in the crystal version, which could catch snow rabbi, and there were infinite hidden props to get, so I lay on the bed at night and kept pressing the A button to get the infinite props. Of course, sometimes staying up too late and my mother can't help but scold her.

I still remember the thing that made me sad the most at that time. When I was playing the crystal version and playing the Four Heavenly Kings, the archive was actually dropped. I still remember sitting by the bed and being excited to finally go to the second picture, it suddenly turned off automatically. After I nervously restarted, I found that the record was gone. I was really crying at that time. I worked hard for so long. Later, I bought gold fingers to cheat and played a lot of games.

I remember that in order to play Gameboy, I bought various accessories, in addition to the online cable, night lights and batteries. Unfortunately, many of them are lost now. I miss the days when I leaned against the bed and held Gameboy in my hand.

Comic Journey

I remember when I was in elementary school, I picked up a dragon ball comic at the door of the class. I remember the plot I saw at that time was about Wukong and Piccolo, attending the world's No. 1 martial arts conference. After reading this book, I was attracted by the plot and then I bought a few of the following chapters myself, and I kept seeing Goku and his brother invading the earth. Because I wanted to read the following content, I went to Friendship Bookstore with my friends and bought the 4-in-1 Dragon Ball Collection home to watch it.

html After more than 0 years, I saw the cartoon and found that there is a certain difference between the comics and animations of "Dragon Ball". After buying the complete collection of "Dragon Ball" comics, my brother and I watched them day and night. Because of this, we have been scolded by our parents many times. In order to avoid being scolded, we acted smart and used ordinary book covers to wrap the Dragon Ball in an attempt to secretly visit Chen Cang. But what is the result? The whole set of "Dragon Ball" was burned by my dad.

But even so, it still cannot stop my love for comics. Later, various comics were collected: Crayon Shin-chi, Doraemon, Oolongyuan, and later Yu Yu, Naruto, One Piece, Alchemist of Steel, etc. Comics have been an integral part of my childhood.

and there is a small episode during this period. Once when I visited my friend’s house, I found a few comics in his room. I was stunned when I saw it. They were all indescribable! Strange knowledge has increased!

Yujika

The shop next to the school really understands us kids very much! The toys I bring are very popular every time. In the second grade, I saw a box of Yu-Gi-Oh card, and I didn’t understand what it was. I felt very handsome anyway, so I bought it and played around with my younger brother and sister.

Maybe that's the original verbal! I held 5 Dark Masters in my hand and gave them all other cards, saying that you can merge these cards, I can win if I only have these 5 cards! Hahaha, it turns out that the soul of the middle school has been injected into my body by me.

"Yu Gay" also gave him a battle venue at that time, but for some reason it was only half of it, and then we drew a piece with paper and put it together. Although it looks weird, it does not affect the fun of the game. During that time, "Oh God" was the favorite to play, and even bought a new battleground later.

I really like "Yu Gambler" after watching the animation and comics.

First came into contact with animation, I watched "Oh God" played at my cousin's house during the summer vacation. At that time, the various dark games of the protagonist's game were really cool. So just happened that after the first year of junior high school, there was a classmate in the class who liked Yu-Gi, just like me, so we often discussed cards and how to edit decks. Later, I went to play with him when I had nothing to do, and took a battleground and deck to find him to compete with him.

At that time, we were having a lot of fun, taking a piece of paper and pen to record the LP health of both sides, and various summoning and attacking magic traps. The most sensual operation restored the animation, and could only put a magic card in the deck. I still remember that year the school organized a tour, and we also brought the decks to play secretly in our room at night.

Now I still hope that the handsome duel can be produced and that the cards I like can be projected like animations. Even now, even as adults, those Yu-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi

computer game

The school had computer classes in the sixth grade. In order to give us more knowledge, my dad made an exception and bought a computer for his family. I remember that my dad said he bought it for 6,000 yuan and had only 64MB of Windows 98 system. The first computer game I came into contact with was "Red Alert", although I couldn't play it at the time.

The game that I remember most at that time was " Mega Man X4" given to me by my friend.This is the first horizontal board passing game I have come into contact with. X's handsome armor and ZRORO's cool beam sword, which still has endless aftertaste. There is also an impression of a single player RPG game called "One". This game has a very good impact, and the warehouse scene of being alone in the first level also made me have nightmares. At that time, I didn’t understand game installation, and I heard from my friends that games only need CDs to play, but I actually believed it stupidly. Later I found out that "One" can be played without CD, and I still feel like I have made a profit. Next is the happy "Dingdang Monopoly", which can be played by 4 people. My sister and I add a computer. The three of us have a good relationship, so every time, three people use props to attack the computer specifically. "Dingdong Monopoly" also has various mini games, and there are very few of them now, so I really like the Mario Party games on the switch.

At that time, my friends and I would ride our bicycles to Friendship Bookstore to find computer game disks every week during holidays. Many people are impressed by the "Sutra Pavilion" and "Sesame Opening" series! Then there is the GBA simulator on the computer. At that time, I played the Pokemon Gem series, with red and green leaves, and the dark Phantom, and the Maze Rescue Team. My sister and my younger brother like to play the most, flame emblem, Megaman zero series, Megaman EXW series, Metroid Zero Mission, and Yu-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-G Then there is a scene that everyone likes: the teacher called me to answer the question, and I was confused

In order to save the game information, I also compressed and uploaded the game to the network disk. These old games are childhood memories. There are still some game installation instructions left.

Unforgettable for life " Warcraft "

That was a summer vacation, and my cousin came to my house to play. I specially introduced a game called "Warcraft", which was very fun. I was so excited that I immediately went to Yikang Culture and Sports City with him to find this game disc "The Rule of Chaos" and "The Frozen Emperor". This is the first time I have bought the genuine version in my life! After experiencing

, I was really trapped in it and couldn't extricate myself, and then came to the world of " Warcraft 3". Then I bought tactical strategies and e-sports magazines. I often followed WCG competitions later, and during this period I learned about professional players such as the fifth race, Moon, the Human Emperor Sky, Spider Stream Gostop, etc., and my CD was uploaded around the class, and I didn’t know where it went.

It was also because of Warcraft that I realized the fun of black Internet cafes. It costs 2 yuan per hour. At that time, we went to the Internet cafe just to fight. Because there were not so many fun RPG maps, my friends and I were playing building battles. Even the four of us were in 2v2 teams. I discussed tactics with another friend, yellow, and what kind of troops can be used to win, such as orc infantry plus undead spiders. It can be said that in the third year of junior high school, none of the boys in our class could not play "Warcraft 3".

Warcraft is a must-play game every time you go to an Internet cafe. Until college, I was still playing RPG with Suyou, such as Naruto Bond, Konoha Dawn, One Piece Demon Slaying Order, Pyramid Escape, Demon Suppressing War, Financial Group Heroes, Heroes and Treasure I: Continued Legend, Soldier Story 2, Infinity 3C, X-Hero, The Legend of the Heaven Slaying Dragon, Fantasy Legend of Cao Cao, etc. At that time, Summer Friends often asked me to find RPG pictures. Look for pictures quickly. What pictures are you playing with today! As I was playing, I found out why the hero stopped moving at the base. I turned around and saw that my roommate was asleep. .

Once the school was going to hold an ECG competition, and invited professional players such as SKY, MagicYang, Fly100%, infi, etc. When I found out, I immediately pulled my friend and saw the professional players on the screen that were very excited.Even when the contestant stepped down to go to the toilet, he got some autographs and photos, but he never dreamed of it!

Epilogue

Nowadays, I have already started a family and have the pressure of life, and I can no longer play games as casually as before. And my brother seems to have inherited my gaming genes and bought the latest PS4 and SWITCH, and he will play with it whenever he has time. Seeing him playing games infatuatedly, he seemed to be exactly the same as me back then.

The carefree feeling and the stimulation of charging into battle have been a long time since I experienced it. I suddenly became envious. When I was a child, I hoped that when I grew up, I could buy various game consoles to play. Now you have the ability to buy, but you have no time to your own.

Nowadays, I can only occasionally read the treasures I saved back then, and I can still vaguely recall the beautiful dreams I had when I was young.
