In the arcade era, in order to improve the chances of their own games, major game manufacturers will always design a variety of fascinating opening animations to lure players into the coin-operated experience. Some games even set up a large number of hidden elements for players to repeatedly coin to get a glimpse of the whole picture.
This implies that the setting of the player's coin is manifested differently in each game type, for example, in the more difficult shooter game, the game usually provides the player with additional ammunition after the player renews the coin, while some action or fighting games will give the player some buffs that can reduce the difficulty of the game after the player renews the coin.
However, in the original "Legend of the Hungry Wolf", inducing players to coin is indeed a very different game screen. After losing a battle against a normal character, the player will enter a similar countdown screen as Street Fighter 2, and if the player loses to the final boss, Gies, the end screen will be the opposite of the ending, and the protagonist manipulated by the player is thrown from the upper floor by Gies. This kind of ending easter egg is not surprising today, but in that era of limited information dissemination, it can definitely make players feel quite fresh, so that they deliberately lose in the hands of Gies to see this special ending picture.
However, this is compared with the 1985 Taidong and Toei joint production of the LD arcade interactive game "Time girl", or a little bit of meaning, this with the powerful storage capacity of the LD disc will be recorded in advance of the animation, in the form of a game to play, players need to follow the prompts during the game process, in the fixed time to make the correct operation to continue the game, quite a bit of the current QTE game feeling.
The game mainly tells the future of the early 31st century, the time travel technology has become more and more mature, in order to prevent the evil people from using time travel technology to commit time crimes, the "time and space police" should be born, the heroine Li Xiang is one of the police who pursue the time and space prisoner Luda. Along the way, the player manipulates the heroine by traveling through different time and space, and finally defeats Ruda.
The plot of the game seems to be very simple, but the scene is very rich, and the heroine Lixiang will encounter various major crises in these scenes, once the player makes a mistake or makes a wrong choice, then Lixiang is miserable, the game official to the heroine carefully designed a variety of different styles of death, absolutely can make the curious player unconsciously empty their pockets.
Because the heroine's death method in the game is too many tricks, here can only take a few examples, such as when the heroine in the crossing time and space to fall to the bottom of the sea, will encounter a large turtle, then the game screen will enter the countdown to let the player make the corresponding key input, if the input judgment is correct, the heroine will surface before the turtle crashed over, escaped a disaster, on the contrary, it will be mounted on the rock by the turtle, and even the painting style will be bumped into a funny style.
What's even more outrageous is that when dodging these natural and man-made disasters, some bosses will even bring welfare links to players, such as a monster chasing the heroine to bite at a critical juncture, if the heroine does not dodge in time, it may be bitten off the clothes on her body, so that the game becomes an 18 forbidden work, or when the heroine falls from the sky and sees the wild man BOSSes who have made up the trap on the ground, if the judgment is not correct, it will be caught and reduced to the pet of the wildlings...
This type of unpopular arcade work, it is precisely with this high-intensity live picture that it has not become the forgotten one in the era of games in the big waves, and even in 17 years, the game has also launched a mobile terminal, which makes some arcade players remember back to the beautiful arcade era. I wonder which arcade games you are still impressed with the coin screens of arcade games? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area
