I had underestimated Zhu Youxing's genius.

"Uncle, aren't you interested in any of these?"

The boy glanced back at Myron Case and noticed that Myron Case seemed expressionless, just a little dazed, which was completely different from the reactions of the other players who entered this historical exhibition area.

The players looked at these things as if they were the most precious treasures, leaving Myron Case speechless.

"No, I'm just marveling at the genius imagination of the people who created these things."

"Oh, the God of Games is the God of Games after all, it's only natural that he could create these things."

After saying that, the boy ran to Myron Case's side and whispered, "I'll tell you a secret, whenever a new game releases a trailer, I always go to my house to worship the god of games and pray that the game will be released as soon as possible."

Myron Case looked at the boy with a strange expression: "You mean you put up a portrait of Bamboo Star in your home for worship?"

The boy nodded vigorously: "That's right, it's in my bedroom. I often worship it to thank it for giving me fun games. I actually worshipped it yesterday when I came here. I even put my savings of 5,000 yen in the offering box, praying that if I'm lucky, I can meet the God of Games face to face today. If possible, I also hope to take a picture with it."

Japan is a country that loves to deify ordinary people.

In this small place, there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of named deities, most of whom are legendary figures who were worshipped as gods by people through legends.

Such as the god of agriculture, forestry and fisheries, the god of performance, the god of movies, the god of railway tracks and trains, and so on.

As the true pioneer of the game industry, Takeyusei naturally became the most worshipped god of games in Japan.

The title of "God of the Game" is not just a joke among players; it reflects the genuine and heartfelt reverence people have for Zhuyouxing as a deity.

This seemed utterly outrageous to Myron Keyes.

But upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

Bamboo Star pioneered the video game industry, allowing people to experience a unique kind of fun. Regardless of whether this thing has any social value, the fact that it has been welcomed and sought after by countless people is already a remarkable achievement.

He is far from reaching that level yet.

However, he believes that he will have such influence sooner or later.

His next plan was to make more money, then develop his own brand-new operating system and processor, as well as his own computers and more user-friendly and intelligent mobile phones.

He believes that mobile phones should also undergo a world-class revolution.

However, he currently lacks funds and other things, so he can only take it one step at a time.

"Let's go, uncle! Time's almost up, let's hurry to the big screen, the opening ceremony is about to start!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Myron Case led the boy out of the video game history exhibit and into the main venue.

The main venue area was completely dark, with only the huge screen at the front lit up.

At this moment, the countdown on the big screen has entered ten minutes, and you can vaguely see some staff members busy on the stage.

Myron Case also really wanted to host a carnival like this, a carnival event that belonged to him.

However, he wanted to make the event more elegant.

First, the venue can't be pitch black; he wants the entire venue to be pure white. A pure white building and decoration style will naturally give people a high-tech feeling. Then, he can appear on the stage wearing jeans and a dark-colored shirt, making everyone focus on him. Finally, under everyone's most expectant gaze, he will take out his most proud product to show everyone, showing them something that symbolizes the new era.

But all of this is still a long and arduous road ahead; he is short of money and needs more.

But now many investors prefer the ethereal internet, which puzzles him greatly. How can something so unreal attract investment?

"Uncle! Uncle, stop daydreaming, it's about to start!"

Just then, his clothes were tugged, which brought him back to his senses.

The countdown on the screen had now reached thirty seconds.

At this moment, the players instantly quieted down from the previous noisy environment.

It's not so quiet you could hear a pin drop, but it's very peaceful now.

It seemed that only Myron Case wasn't particularly enthusiastic about video games, so he had some free time to observe the people around him.

He noticed that everyone was staring intently at the big screen, their eyes shining.

That was the light of boundless love for games.

This silenced Myron Case once again.

When will I be able to have such an infinitely adoring supporter?

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

When the countdown reached ten seconds, the players spontaneously began to count down. Everyone used a different language, but they were saying the same thing, creating a particularly harmonious and beautiful scene.

"seven!"

"six!"

"five!"

At this moment, the players' emotions reached their peak, and something was about to be released, like a raging flood.

Myron Case, who was in the midst of it all, was also subtly affected by the same emotions, and a kind of passion welled up in his heart.

He was already forty years old, yet he had rekindled his passion for life, which was quite rare.

Then he couldn't help but join the others in counting down, even though he still didn't approve of video games.

However, he now recognizes the value of this emotion.

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"Hey, hey, uncle, you're shouting too!"

At this moment, Myron Case was thinking that perhaps he needed to take a serious look at video games as a medium and stop having a prejudiced view of them.

"one!"

After the number 1 on the big screen ended, the screen dimmed, and the entire venue became pitch black. However, the players did not panic. Instead, they continued to stare at the dark screen, which still had a faint backlight.

The music is ringing.

That's classic Mario music.

Lights, lights, lights!

A pixelated red Mario suddenly pops out from the corner of the black screen, and then a chestnut-headed monster jumps out from another place.

The year 1993 was displayed in the center of the large screen.

Mario dashed across the screen, and the screen went dark again.

"It all started with an idea."

At this moment, the narrator's voice gradually began to play.

"An interesting idea."

Then, a spark made of pixels lit up in the center of the screen, giving the feeling that it was a moment of inspiration.

"What would it be like to be able to control a little person on TV?"

On the screen, the image of the red pixelated Mario reappeared, curiously looking around.

"And so, Mario was born."

A brick gradually appears on the screen. Mario looks up, jumps up excitedly, and slams into the brick. Then the screen gradually brightens, covering the entire screen from the center to the edges.

One by one, the photos slowly appeared.

The photo shows a person dressed as a Mario character standing at the entrance of the park.

The children were curiously examining the Mario figure in the park, and some had already run over to investigate.

Next to the doll was a rather old-fashioned CRT television, and next to it was the original Famicom (NES).

This was the world's first truly home video game console.

The next photo shows more and more children gathered together, and they all look very happy.

The initial attraction for children was the adorable plush toys; you could get a small plush toy as a reward for completing a level.

This is the true starting point of video games in this world.

These photos have never been published before. The earliest recorded video game photo is a photo taken by a reporter on the day the Famicom was officially released. At the time, the reporter thought it was a jukebox.

These photos have always been carefully preserved by Zhu Youxing, and this is the first time they have been fully released to the public.

The clever people immediately took these photos and were very excited.

So there's more to this story than I imagined.

The photo begins with a group of children playing the first video game console and ends with the first commercially produced Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System), after which the screen goes dark again and the narration resumes.

"The initial idea received great feedback, and then we wanted to present even better content, so the updated product came about."

At this point, the music also underwent a noticeable variation.

Players who experienced that era immediately recognized the reason for the change in sound effects.

That marked the arrival of the SFC era.

This represents a significant leap forward in both visuals and sound effects.

Previously, game graphics were just pixelated images based on imagination, requiring players to have a very good imagination to construct a game scene.

However, after the Super Famicom (SFC), the graphics underwent a dramatic transformation, allowing games to display exceptional colors and truly bring the visuals to life like anime.

"This is what I've been through!"

Someone in the crowd shouted excitedly.

Some of them were firsthand witnesses, and only they could truly understand the excitement of that groundbreaking game console.

It's like jumping straight from the Stone Age to the Renaissance.

The screen lit up again, displaying a series of color photos, some of which showed familiar faces.
