v2 Chapter 258: Firefly game platform is online

Negotiations can't be done all at once. The directors of the NFL League said they would consider it, but they tactfully declined it.

Henry had nothing to say, just nodded. In Henry's view, the reason why they did not immediately agree was because they did not see real benefits!

As the saying goes, seeing is believing.

These people are all capitalists who don't see rabbits or scatter eagles. Even if Henry said that the ceiling is rotten, they may not fully believe it! In this regard, Henry can only build a stronger influence, thereby forcing them to yield. Ma Yun once said that today you will ignore me and tomorrow I will make you unaffordable.

If one day, the NFL League sees the NBA League with Henry's support and promotion, and it will only know how much it will regret when the world is making money wildly!

Henry returned to San Jose, the next thing is to send his men to continue contact with the NFL league, he has no hesitation and a bunch of greedy capitalists to grind there.

July is almost here, and the Firefly game platform is ready to go online!

At the beginning, there were only two games on this platform, one was "Warcraft 1" jointly developed by Blizzard and Westwood, and the other was "Doom" developed by ID-software Game Company!

"Warcraft 1" is a real-time strategy game, and "Doom" is a first-person shooter game. Both games are pioneering ancestor-level games. Once they are released, they will inevitably shock the entire game industry! ! !

Previous life "Warcraft 1" was tepid, mainly because there was already "Dune II" developed by Jasper-Westwood Studios before, but "Warcraft 1" is a work that imitates "Dune II". But now, Ximu Studio did not develop "Dune II", but developed "Warcraft 1" together with Blizzard, the first real-time strategy online game, which is bound to take the world by storm!

And "Doom" is even more popular. There are almost few computer players who have not played the game when "Doom" was the hottest... If the Internet cafes weren't popular at that time, otherwise, the Internet cafes would definitely be the same. Playing "Doom"!

The Firefly Game Company has been dormant for several years. There has never been a game work. It's just that if you don't call it, it's a blockbuster!

By then, countless game designers will fall for it, and countless gamers will be crazy about it!

In addition. Henry has always advocated online games, so. Both "Warcraft 1" and "Doom" can be played online!

Internet cafes will usher in an era of explosion! ! !

July 1st.

Firefly game platform is online!

The interface of ICQ chat software has been partially changed, and the original "ICQ game platform" has been changed to "game".

Then click "Game", there will be two options "ICQ Game Platform" and "Firefly Game Platform".

In order to strengthen mutual cooperation. It also adds an option "Firefly Game Platform" on the interface of "ICQ Game Platform". Naturally, there will also be an "ICQ game platform" option on the "Firefly Game Platform" interface.

This kind of bundled sales. Basically every software company is playing!

In order to achieve seamless cooperation, Henry intends to allow ICQ to make a strategic investment in Firefly Game Company and cross-shareholding! And if the Firefly Game Company gets the support of ICQ. It is bound to be even more powerful and develop more rapidly. At the same time it is more robust!

Henry finally decided that ICQ Company holds 20% of the shares of Firefly Game Company, and Firefly Game Company holds 5% of the shares of ICQ Company!

The market value of Firefly Games is much lower than that of ICQ. There is not even a quarter of it, but Henry believes that the development potential of Firefly Game Company is huge and should not be undervalued. Therefore, it is cross-exchange according to 1:4!

Cross-share swaps are the same for Henry anyway, it doesn't matter. But for shareholders on both sides of the company, there will definitely be ideas.

Therefore, before the release of the Firefly game platform, Henry invited ICQ CEO Tian Shuai to the Firefly Game Company to try out "Warcraft 1" and "Doom", and let him take a look at other games the company is developing, such as " "FIFA1994", "FIFA Football Manager", "Need for Speed" and so on.

After finishing, Tian Shuai said to Henry very excitedly: "Chairman, Firefly Game Company will definitely become the overlord of the game industry. This is a very great company! I have no objection to cross-shareholding!!!"

"Chairman, can I copy "Doom" back to play?" Tian Shuai asked with bright eyes.

Henry shook his head and smiled: "The copy is useless. We have designed a program in the game. You need to log in to the Firefly game platform to purchase a registration code before you can play! The registration code is only bound to the account of the Firefly game platform, except for logging in. Except for the game on the Firefly game platform, there are no other ways to play!"

When Tian Shuai heard this, he couldn't help but stunned, "But this way, doesn't it give up a large market? You know, there are still many users who have not opened the Internet!"

"Haha, do you know about marketing hungry?" Henry smiled at Tian Shuai and asked, but before he could speak, Henry himself continued, "Internet games are more fun than stand-alone games. There is no doubt about this. Stand-alone If the game cannot be played, the Internet cafes will inevitably be in short supply. In this way, it can create a huge game fire, and even dozens of people will queue up to play games in the Internet cafes!!!"

"The more you can't get it, the more you want to play! When the player's desire reaches the highest point, we will release a stand-alone game CD. At that time, the level of sales will be unimaginable! Haha...I'm scared. It’s too late to produce more game discs!"

After Henry finished speaking, Tian Shuai nodded in admiration.

This thirsty marketing doesn't say that after dangling the taste, it will make a lot of money!

At this time, Henry said to Tian Shuai: "We are also developing CD encryption technology. By entering the registration code during the disc reading process, even if other people know the registration code, it is useless, because he does not have a game CD! The research and development of the technology has reached the final stage, and it will not take long to mature the application! Of course, if you want to play now, you can log in to the Firefly server and output the authorized account password. Wait a moment, you can go to Firefly Games Company CEO Simon Hodge wants an account!"

Tian Shuai smiled and said: "That's great, I just hit the first level of "Doom"!"

"Haha. John Carmack has designed more than 30 levels in total. And the difficulty is getting more and more difficult, some you play!"

"Doom" has a battle mode and a research mode, among which the research mode is divided into single or multiplayer!

The battle mode can accommodate 8 people, and the research mode can accommodate 4 people.

This game. Henry played for a while and stopped playing. The picture is a bit frustrated and bloody. Of course, this game is only 11.5MB. This was already a big game at the time, and the average game was only a few MB. Even "Warcraft 1" is only 7.6MB in size. For those players who have not been exposed to a few GB games, "Doom" is already very awesome. And the game screen is still 3D, which shocked them too much!

...

...

The firefly game platform has been fermented for three or four hours. It finally broke out.

The brand-new game mode, brand-new combat gameplay, "Warcraft 1" and "Doom" simply make them fascinated. Coupled with the ability to network with other players, it didn't take long for it to become popular.

"Oh, my goodness, it's great, too classic, this is simply the most fun game I have ever played!!!" In the Blue Star Internet Cafe, Jack stared at the screen, his eyes shining, and he couldn't help yelling. stand up.

"Hey, brother, what game are you playing that is really so fun?" The users around the Internet couldn't help but look over.

Jack didn't even turn his head, and replied: "Of course, it's super fun!!!"

"Fuck, this picture is actually 3D, really awesome, and it's still a first-view shooting game, it's really cool! Hey, what's the name of this game?"

""Doom"!!!"

Jack responded casually. Suddenly, the character that Henry controlled was killed by a blue-eyed monster in front with a mouth wide open, and a fat as a mountain. Jack couldn't help but push the keyboard forward in despair. , Yelled aloud, "..." After he finished, he took the time to turn his head and look at the crowd behind him, "Hey, buddy, do you guys play? Let’s work together online, especially Mad, this level is too difficult, I can't beat it alone!"

"Can this game be played together online?"

"That's right, in online battles, you can also work on the Internet together!" Jack said.

"Fuck, this game is so crazy! Tell me where I can download it!!!"

"Oh, click "Game" on the chat software interface, then download the Firefly game platform, and then enter the Firefly game platform, there is "Doom". However, if you want to play the game, you must download the game and purchase the registration code. You can play afterwards! It’s actually very easy, you just open the clicker game and follow the prompts.—!"

Jack urged: "Hurry up, I'll wait for you. I will download "Warcraft 1" to play. This Firefly game platform only has these two games for the time being. "Doom" is so fun, it doesn't make sense. "Warcraft 1" is not fun, it must be a classic game too!"

"Okay, then I will download the game now!"

"Warcraft 1" is only 7.6MB, with a 56kbps internet speed, it was downloaded within a few minutes.

Jack started playing "Warcraft 1" and paid $20 for the registration code, which is also the price of "Doom". Jack thinks that the price is really good. If you buy a game CD, you need at least hundreds of dollars. But now, you can play two classic games for only $40!

"Well, there are actually two modes of stand-alone game and networked game? Oh, then I will play the stand-alone game first and get familiar with how to play!"

After Jack chose the stand-alone game, because it was the first time to play, he would be prompted how to play at the beginning. Jack quickly got started and found that this was another brand new game, developing bases, building various buildings, collecting resources, building troops, and fighting. The operation of the game is a bit cumbersome, but it is really cool to be able to control where the units are directed, like an arm-director~lightnovelpub.net~!

Jack has built a lot of different types of troops, and he is full of accomplishments, but just when Jack was feeling crooked, the computer suddenly sent troops to fight!

"Oh, shit!! The computer came to hit me!!!"

Jack yelled, hurriedly commanding the army to counterattack, but at his rookie level, he was quickly slaughtered by the computer. All the things he had worked so hard to make were completely destroyed. Jack watched the base headquarters be destroyed, and finally exploded with a "bang", and he was suddenly angry with anger!

"Made, I'm not convinced. I obviously bully me and don't know how to play... Hmph, I want to do it again. This time, I won't keep the computer chips I want to kill!!!

Just when Jack was about to click the game to start, a person patted Jack on the shoulder and said, "Hey, brother, I have finished the game of Doom, let's come together!"

"You play first, I will play with you later. I want to play "Warcraft 1" now, I want revenge!!!" Jack gritted his teeth!
