The 1970s and 1990s were the peak of martial arts films, during which a large number of extremely far-reaching film and television works were born. At that time, Hong Kong movies, whether they were kung fu films, martial arts films, mythological dramas, magic films, zombie films, or even ghost films, all of them would be integrated into wonderful martial arts action.
At that time, martial arts films did not fight special effects, requiring realistic actions. Therefore, many times it is real fighting, fist to flesh, martial arts actors have a certain strength and skill, and at the same time have the momentum to fight with their lives. It is also the fighting spirit of these dedicated actors that makes martial arts films continue to have vitality, and even affect the world's perception of China. Perhaps in their eyes, an old man walking in the park may be a master of the world.
When it comes to zombie movies, I believe that the first thing that comes to mind is Lin Zhengying. He integrates elements such as funny, martial arts, magic, folklore, and feng shui into the movie, creating a funny atmosphere in a terrifying atmosphere and adding martial arts action in a tense zombie fight.
And no matter in what movie, Uncle Ying is a reassuring pill, no matter how terrible the monster appeared before, as long as he appeared, we have a sense of security, it seems that any difficulty can be solved.
At that time, the zombie movies frightened a lot of children! The image of zombies in the movie is basically the same, the Qing Dynasty official uniform official hat, fangs, infinite strength, knives and guns, sucking human blood, stiff arms forward, jumping and moving (the general said that labor is not like this). Because the influence of the film is relatively large, we can also see these zombie images in many games in the later stages.
So today, Xiaobian will study with you the image of those 'Chinese zombies' that appear in classic games.
"Silk Road 2" believes that many players have experienced it on the simulator! After all, although the game hall period appeared, it was not popular. The Silk Road series has a lot of Chinese elements, so we will have a sense of familiarity when we play it.
Chinese zombies, knives and guns, with laser eyes and sweeping thousands of troops. Big moves can jump up and unleash lightning
The gameplay of Silk Road 2 is similar to Dungeons & Dragons, with the addition of martial arts cheats and magic settings. Rubs unleash skills, and props unleash magic. If two people release magic at the same time, it can become a fusion magic, and the effect is doubled.
Fireball + fireball, as if seeing something incredible, but this trick has little effect on zombies. Zombies are not afraid of fire.
The Thunderbolt Ensemble must be killed and is still ineffective against zombies. This is the most powerful ensemble magic effect in the game! Zombies or spells suppress the case. If the seal is unsealed, is there no natural enemy?
Of the several elements, only wind spells are effective. Even fusion magic must be used twice to kill zombies. A zombie is already very difficult to deal with, and if a group of zombies appears, there is basically no way to survive. These monsters are even more difficult than the average mummy.
Everyone must be wondering, who in the end summoned so many zombies out?
It's up to you to see who the boss is, as shown below
"Midnight Kill" is a more classic game outside of CAPCOM. Monsters from different backgrounds that appear in the game are from various time and space, including biochemical zombies, zombies, mummies, vampires, spirits, living dead, and monsters from unknown territories. Our protagonists are: vampire hunters, Chinese Taoists, and ghost hunters, specializing in various monsters.
The image of Zhao Honghua, as well as the Use of Chinese Kung Fu, it is not difficult to see that this is a tribute to Lin Zhengying's film. Unfortunately, there are no zombies in this game, and Zhao Honghua's spells are also effective against zombies and mummies in the West. She is good at formation and plays an extremely important role in the plot.
The last blow of Zhao Honghua's routine action is the sticker. Upon success, the rune paper will explode directly.
Unfortunately, if there are zombies in the game, there will be no Taoists, and there will be no Zombies when there are Daoists, so is there a game in which Taoists and zombies coexist?
The answer is yes, which brings us to the classic fighting game Demon Warrior. Among them, there is a pair of sister flowers of the zombie Taoist combination: Tears and Lingling. They were originally just ordinary girls, and their mother was a great exterminator.
In a battle to seal the Demon King, the mother was sacrificed. Tears had to turn herself into a zombie through occult arts and gained her mother's powerful psionic powers. Her sister Lingling, on the other hand, turned herself into a spell, sticking it to her tearful head whenever she fought, prompting her to control her power not to lose control. Under normal circumstances, Lingling is still living in human form.
In the movies we have seen, it is generally a ghost, and after becoming a zombie, it has been declared dead, and although it can still move, it can no longer recover as a human being. The same is true of this game, tears after turning into a zombie, although the combat effectiveness increases, and has a normal human mind, as well as a righteous heart, but she has lost her human identity.
You have to lie on a coffin when you appear, which is what a zombie should look like!
In Demon Hunter - Revenge of the Devil, the two sisters fall to the ground after desperately defeating Paylon. It seems that everything is over, and the mission belonging to this era is over.
The mother's soul appeared, the Great Demon King was successfully sealed, and her wish had been granted. Zombies are immortal but cannot be reincarnated. Mothers feel that their daughters have given enough for her and do not want to let them suffer from vicissitudes anymore. So he used his last spiritual energy to guide them to reincarnate as human beings.
Under the guidance of their mother, the two sisters were successfully reincarnated and have lived a stable and happy life ever since. There is no memory of the previous life again. (Look at the new mother's hair color, it should be Westerners)
Due to the tears and Lingling's popularity, even if she is reincarnated, she cannot leave the scene. So in the follow-up works, they continued to arrange the plot for them. The timeline comes to the chapter of "Demon Savior - Vampire Nobleman", when Tears and Lingling have grown into 16-year-old girls, and the latent sorcerer abilities in their bodies have begun to awaken, which is the "legacy" left to them by their mothers in the previous life.
The new demon king "Jetta" appeared, seemingly threatening people who liked tranquility at any time, so the two sisters embarked on the journey again. The tragic life of the previous life is destined not to repeat itself, and the two sisters finally join forces to defeat the Jetta.
The playthrough plot is more interesting. Although the game still uses the standing painting from the previous version of Tears, here we can see that the two sisters' figures have shrunk a lot, which is what a 16-year-old should look like!
The two arrive in an unknown space, when an immortal tells them that this is a dream. Then lead them back to reality. Maybe they don't know that this is the mother of the previous life, and now she has become a fairy. At the time of parting, the two sisters asked her who she was, and the immortal smiled slightly and said nothing.
The two of them, who have finished their adventure, finally return to their warm home.
For the sisters, perhaps this is the best ending. Cheng Xian's mother has been silently guarding them in heaven.
With eighteen kinds of weapons, tears and tears, various weapons and hidden weapons hidden in the cuffs, even the statue of the ghost. You can also throw a bomb with a countdown to time, which seems to be from romance of the Three Kingdoms. CAPCOM's bad taste never stops.
The image of tears is very deeply rooted in people's hearts, so it also appears in some works. Tears of Tears appears in the OVA as Chun Li Baotou, and in "SVC", Chun Li will become a jumping female zombie after being defeated by the Red Devils.
In 1993, Konami released a fighting game, Martial Arts Champions. The blows are weird, so it hasn't become a hit. However, some of the characters in the game are still more interestingly designed, including HOI, which borrows from drunken fists, and TITI, which resembles zombies. Because of the age of distribution, what we see in the selection interface is that the background of TITI is HONGKONG at that time.
TITI retains many of the zombie's characteristics, such as a bluish complexion, stiff movements, fingernail-like claws, and a spell and hat on the forehead. His attack methods are also similar to the zombies we perceive. Infinite power can throw people around. Good at attacking with claws.
What is surprising is that such a domineering zombie actually has the trick of kneeling. I can't look at it at all!
After defeating the final boss Salamander, TITI said with a deep face that he had to challenge himself and shoulder the responsibility of saving the world. But as soon as the style of painting changed, he became a gardener, using his paws to trim the green belt and cut out a bear. After the gardener's work was done, he excitedly called the hostess to say that he had finished the work, hinting at paying.
"Step by Step" is a more classic shooting game in the early years, the degree of freedom is very high, and there are many weapons to choose from, but many times it is based on luck to choose bullets. The demons and ghosts that appear in the game are all from all over the world, including the vampire count, the soul, the demon, the piranha flower, and even Jason and the koevil.
If you are playing the Japanese version, the game will open with a zombie riding a bicycle, which looks a little cute.
Today, when we see these games again, we always lament that the years are not sparing. Arcade players of that year have long passed the age of establishment, playing games less and less, but the nostalgia for the game hall is growing day by day.
Oh, yes! I am very fortunate to have access to so many arcade games in the past, and the bits and pieces in the game hall are still fresh in my memory, after all, this is our best youth!
