Brothers, I had nothing to do today and was browsing the forum. I saw someone talking about the new game "Wolong Three Kingdoms". When the name came out, the first thing that popped into my mind was not the warriors of the Three Kingdoms, but my Famicom that had been in the junkyard for a long time - the kind where you have to blow your breath before inserting the card. I'm afraid you young people have never heard of it, right? At that time, how could there be any offline and full-stock profits? The cassette save was lost, and the hard work of the night was gone. The next day, I had to pretend that nothing happened and continue to play from the first level.
To be honest, when I open "Wolong Three Kingdoms" now, my first reaction is that these days, even the Three Kingdoms themes have begun to engage in "Buddhist placement"? I remember when I was playing "Swallowing Heaven and Earth", Zhuge Liang made his own strategies one by one, and playing Zhang Liao would make his palms sweat with excitement. Now, when you log in, you will receive high-level generals, and you will be given orange equipment in seven days. My presbyopia has not yet seen the formation interface clearly, and the combat power has already skyrocketed. Are you angry? If I could have had this benefit at that time, why would I have read the file thirty times in front of Lu Bu? 😂
But having said that, this game really makes me a little addicted. It's not because it has a high explosion rate, but it reminds me of the feeling of "it's dawn without knowing it" back then. Don't laugh, I'm forty years old. I get bullied at work during the day, and at night I go home and play games, and watch the generals fight among themselves. I just make a cup of tea and watch, and suddenly I understand what the joy of "raising a son" is. In the past, when playing "Overlord's Continent", you had to brush up the loyalty of each general by yourself. Now, you can hang up offline for a night, and wake up with a full inventory of equipment in the morning. It is exactly the same as the joy of secretly digging for hidden treasure chests in the past, except that you needed a strategy book to find it.
What impresses me the most is that there are Chinese style scrolls in this game, and nearly a hundred characters are painted like New Year paintings. I remember playing "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" in the late 1990s. The scenes are almost unwatchable now, but at that time several of our classmates could gather around the computer to discuss which general's special move was more handsome. Now every character in this game has its own vertical painting, and even the soldiers have different shapes. I think back then we had to rely on pixels to figure out the details! ✨
But, now it's impossible for me to stay up all night to clear dungeons. My waist can't bear it. So this kind of idle gameplay is just right - click before going to work, take a look at it during lunch break, come back to collect the vegetables in the evening, and occasionally use "One Shot to Enter the Soul" to draw a magical general, and you can play with the young people in the group for a long time. Once I drew a rare character and sent the screenshot to the family group. My son replied, "Dad, you actually play such a stupid game." I wanted to hit him on the spot. What's wrong with him? This is called strategic investment!
Finally, to be honest, from Famicom to smartphones, from password pads to cloud archives, games have changed into carriers, but what remains unchanged is our old players' obsession with "collection and development". It's good to be able to find some traces of saving breakfast money to buy cassettes in "Wolong Three Kingdoms" now. Although I still can't tell who is the uncle of those generals, I feel at ease when I see the pile of orange equipment in the warehouse - just like the save file in the mother level tape that was full of 99 golden cicadas. Although it is no longer needed to complete the level, I just can't bear to delete it. 😌
Okay, I'm going to collect the groceries and see if anyone in the league wants to fight me. No matter how Buddhist this game is, at its core it still has the old Jianghu formula of "strategy to win", but now you don't have to rub the controller, just rub the screen. Thinking about those days... Forget it, I look like a museum docent, but if you play too, we can talk about the most unforgettable game moments in your memory. Don't just focus on the explosion rate. At that time, we were in an era where we couldn't even tell whether the equipment was shiny or not. 🎮
