Volume 1: Japanese Storm Chapter 23: From Vienna (2)
"This is Nintendo's thing." Potter, Lucas skillfully removed the outer casing of the Nintendo Famicom on the table and took out a long black rectangular object from its base. "The 8-bit processor, this processor isn't the best one now, but boss you should be very clear that this processor can completely handle the required game code, and it's very cheap!"
After finishing speaking, Potelus threw that rectangular amplifier processor onto the desktop!
It's really very cheap!
"Behold, the fifth generation of consoles! Released last October!" Portlus brought over another all-black machine, performing the same actions, "dissecting" it to retrieve two rectangular objects. "This is a Motorola 68000 processor, with a clock speed of 7.16 MHz and 2 KB of RAM, paired with this Yamaha V9938 chip specifically for audio output, also equipped with 16 KB of VRAM, maximum resolution of 512x240 pixels, and support for RGB output. The first true 8-bit game console, with a maximum capacity of 32 KB. You see, utilizing a 5-bit processor, the Motorola 68000 is one of the earliest 8-bit processors in the world, to build an 8-bit console."
"This is ridiculous!"
Regarding Motorola's 68000 series processor. It was very clear to Wozniak because the Apple computer built by Steve Jobs used the Motorola 68000 series processor produced in those years.
Jerry looked at the two disassembled game consoles on the table, "It seems that Sheng Company is quite wasteful of resources! Potter, does the workgroup have Intel's latest processor released this year?"
Porter bowed down. Several more boxes were turned out from under the table, "No, boss, we only have Durex 6, Huanxiangni, the latest Concave Ant and Mama 6 are not yet on the Japanese market! So we can't get them for the time being!"
Jerry: "I see! Potter, get in touch with Alvey and have the head office buy the latest Pentium processor from the US market. How's the progress on the mouthpiece platform now?"
Portlus: "We need time! Although the 0 mouth is widely used on machines, but it's the first time to use it on a home game console! So, boss, you can't be impatient!"
"Alright! Potter, I'm giving you one more year! By then, what I want won't just be a mere prototype platform! If you still can't give me a working model of your own, then Jeff will take over for you! That's right, you should know. Jeff Smith would be delighted to do so!"
Porter scowled, looking very sulky at Jeff Smith sitting in front of him. The latter was grinning at him!
"Alright, guys, if there's nothing else, you can leave now! I've been pressing the pause button for a long time! Can't you let me continue my unfinished story now?" These words really made Potter and Lucius feel like they were going crazy!
Here is the translation:
At the new product launch event of Square, their new works "Final Fantasy" and "Half-Min Hero" were released one after another. The former attracted players with its serious theme, bizarre and dramatic plot, and tragic elements throughout, while the unique setting of weapon and magic proficiency also completely captured players' attention! In contrast to the serious theme of "Final Fantasy", "Half-Min Hero", which combined humor and satire and was full of imagination, also gained players' favor! It can be said that in Japan's game industry at that time, Square made a big name for itself! Unfortunately, Jerry was still not satisfied. After all, games driven by the WonderSwan processor couldn't bring out any elements related to graphics!
Independent... The four fixed-line telephone business departments have been officially renamed to Nippon Telegraph and Telephone. Operating both wired TV and fixed-line phone services! With high-quality customer service, extremely entertaining TV programs, anime broadcasts, freebies, and many more blockbuster bombs on the way. Nippon Telegraph and Telephone's business volume has seen a sharp increase!
"Before the TV station entered the cable domain, its broadcast area was only Kanto in Japan. But after entering the cable domain, the broadcast area of this TV station has expanded from Kanto to Kansai and even Hokkaido. In the future, the broadcast area of this TV station will cover the entire Japanese archipelago! Did you know? The wireless broadcasting that appeared was originally free, we just used a free gimmick to make something that was originally free into a paid thing in everyone's subconscious mind! And I'm telling you clearly, Paul, this is just the beginning! If one day satellite TV and internet enter our lines, do you think these things will be free? The answer is of course not. Now you understand, don't you? His free entry into cable TV is just a means to an end! Look, even the telephone voting cooperation achieved by this TV station, customers of Japan United Communications have to go through our phone lines for internet surfing, can they swallow all the income? Of course not! This greedy guy, isn't this income enough to fill your belly? Alright Paul, hurry up and get in! If you don't board the plane now, that thing will fly away! I don't want Bill to come to Japan to find me!"
The software development team left by Paul Allen has been incorporated into Square, and it can be said that they are a kind of outsourced personnel in the form of secondment! Of course, after the system development of new machines is completed, these guys will still have to go back!
The Barrel Peng girl idol group audition activity has entered the final, after the performance of the 16 strong, Fujiwara Takako began to scold Koba Ikuko and Iwai Izumi, the lead singer of the Japanese music group!
To be honest, Minako Aino has already passed her prime, and it was originally impossible for her to appear in the tournament. However, due to some people's infatuation and the audience's enthusiastic calls, Minako Aino finally made it to the final selection, which cannot be said to be a huge irony! The selection tournament ended with Sailor Moon Minako Aino emerging victorious!
Several idol girls' combination first batch of members, announced the gathering is complete!
At this time, the wheel of time has already crossed the years. The bell of the mouth of the month has already sounded!
