Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 69 69. This is a new version of the ship that I have never experienced before (please follow up)

In the end, several people gritted their teeth and bought an MD each.

20,000 yen is a bit expensive, but it is equivalent to their meal expenses for a week.

If you think about it carefully, you don't just play "Mermaid Heart" on the MD. Many of Sega's games are quite good, so sooner or later you will have to buy a game console.

Might as well get it now.

The three of them settled the bill and said goodbye at the door of the store.

"See you on Monday, everyone."

"meet on Monday."

…

Furukawa Haoze returned to his residence happily carrying the game console and the cartridge.

Open the game console box and take out the 16-bit machine inside.

Rubbing the smooth surface, Furukawa couldn't help but feel excited.

I have to say that the workmanship of Sega's 16-bit machine is actually quite good, and the shape is also very modern. The upper part of the handle is streamlined and fits the palm of the hand better.

Much more comfortable than traditional FC.

It's just that I may not be used to the feel yet, and it always feels a little weird when I hold it.

After connecting the game console to the TV, Furukawa opened the game box and inserted "Mermaid Heart" into the MD interface.

Of course, I didn’t forget to blow down before inserting it.

Since the FC era of Rentendo, players have developed the habit of blowing air. The main reason is that if the pins of the cassette are stained with dust, it will easily cause the screen to become blurred or unreadable.

Just take a breath at this time.

Of course, don't use too much force to avoid blowing your own saliva on it.

Turn on the power switch.

Start the game.

A soft and beautiful melody immediately sounded.

Compared with FC's audio, MD's effect is simply amazing.

Wow, it is indeed a 16-bit machine.

Although Hirose Furukawa had seen a lot of advertisements about how good 16-bit computers were before, and many people recommended them to him, it was not until today that he deeply felt the charm of 16-bit computers.

In terms of picture quality alone, Sega's MD is completely unmatched by other 8-bit machines.

This feeling is like a highly myopic patient suddenly wearing a pair of glasses that suits him——

The whole world became clear.

No, not only that, MD’s picture color is much richer than that of FC.

It's like you stepped into reality from an old black and white photo.

Hmm, this metaphor may be more appropriate.

Furukawa Hirosawa now regrets not buying Sega's 16-bit computer earlier.

…

A row of text appeared on the screen——

【pokeni Co., Ltd.

Mermaid Heart Project Team. 】

This is followed by a border of an ocean blue set.

In the middle are the big characters [Mermaid Heart].

At first glance, you can tell that this style is made by [Furuhara Chunqiu].

Seeing this, Furukawa Haoze couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Chunqiu Furuhara is truly world-class in his requirements and ability to control images, and it is truly a pleasure to play his works.

The game officially begins.

…

Eastern Pacific, on the stormy sea

A cruise ship is in turbulent shape.

With a bang, the cruise ship hit the iceberg.

A crack was torn open in the giant ship, and seawater surged in.

"No! The ship is sinking!" someone shouted loudly.

[In Yamazaki Teru’s eyes, huge lightning ripped across the sea in the distance]

[Before he completely lost consciousness, a beautiful and flawless face appeared in the phosphorescence of the sea water. 】

[The girl looks at him with surprised eyes]

[Then the huge fish tail swept past]

Huh?

Is it actually a plot that unfolds in text?

Is this too much text?

Furukawa cursed.

He had never experienced such a game before.

Although the Onmyoji series previously developed by pokeni has similar elements, it is generally more RPG-oriented.

But "Mermaid Heart" is a very typical galgame.

A visual text novel type to be precise.

No game has done this before.

In fact, the risk is quite high.

Because it is equivalent to abandoning the gameplay, if the script of the game itself is not outstanding enough, it will easily lead to the loss of players.

At first, he was a little uncomfortable with the type of game described in long paragraphs, but it was obvious that the script author's writing skills were quite good, and Furukawa quickly became immersed in this story composed of pictures and text.

…

The male protagonist was submerged in the sea and completely lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I found that everything around me had changed——

In the midst of the huge ocean, everything was dazzling, with beautiful colorful fish swimming around.

The giant whale in the distance stirs up the sea water with many swimming fish.

The whole picture is so beautiful that people can't help but be intoxicated by it.

It feels like being in an ocean world.

The performance of MD's host is really good, which can shock Furukawa Hirose.

Of course, the most important thing is that pokeni's painting skills are truly among the best in the world.

This can bring players extraordinary enjoyment.
