Game Market 1983 - 196 < EP 45

The second week of November 1995…

Three weeks before the world’s first gaming fair, the online gaming community was teeming with festive atmosphere.

He would do the same thing because each year at the International Electronics Fair, the genre of the game was recognized as one ‘cultural content’.

After last year’s home appliance fair in America. Japan’s Computer Entertainment Association (CESA) is the most popular exhibition attraction for Mintendo and Sensoni. He also offered the Pentagon a new gaming fair to expand Japan’s gaming industry.

In fact, behind them was one of Japan’s government agencies, the Japanese Economic Industry, who sponsored CESA to broadly promote the content of the Game to attract foreign tourists.

But because Mintendo had declared he would definitely participate, the Tokyo game show had to be called a halfway show before it even began.

The impact of mintendo, the so-called king of the gaming industry, at this time was really great.

Nevertheless, the CESA decided to put on a Tokyo game show, with the exception of Mintendo, because it was unable to give up the game fair with enormous funds pouring in.

Mintendo’s disappearance was reported in the international media, and gamers from around the world also expressed their condolences, but Mintendo was rigid.

However, despite Mintendo’s insubordination, there were many companies that could fill his space.

First of all, Complex Raon showed another possibility for the game genre with Idol and Full Metal Gear, alongside Sensoni, who have emerged in the gaming industry earlier this year and are rapidly eroding the market with strong funding.

And at the arcade centre, even the most prestigious country…

These three companies were enough to meet the expectations of users of the Tokyo game show.

Moreover, in addition to the companies described above, there were about 84 small businesses and third parties to participate in the first Tokyo Games Show on the Tokyo Vicsite.

Literally a yard for gamers’ festivals, the Tokyo Game Show was a huge event that would become one of the world’s top three game shows in the distant future.

Knock, knock.

I looked at the event planner for the staff to prepare for the conference, and I gently tapped the cluster of documents on the edge of my desk and placed them neatly on the desk one by one.

Because of all the conferences at the Pentagon?

The event planner in front of me was filled with glowing ideas.

Especially, there have been a lot of interesting ideas that have attracted a lot of interest from users recently, such as watching the planning book has overwhelmed my heart.

In addition to the dragon emblem, the Pentagon was expected to announce new pieces from each development team, and all the third-party games that were being produced with Complete Raon were put on hold for the TGS (Tokyo Game Show), so we felt that we were quite excited about the event.

I don’t have mintendo.

This could be a huge opportunity for TGS to take control of the future…

The seating arrangements for Sensoni, NEGA and the Pentagon were extremely intense until the TGS ‘official pamphlet came out.

Together with CESA, Nikkei, TGS ‘co-host, has proposed to cast lots for three seats, but due to the recent extreme marketing disagreement between Sensony and NEGA, the placement has ceased at the labyrinth.

So Sensoni and the booth of the NEGA wanted each other to fall to the pole, but the Pentagon’s entry in the middle was nonsense.

But that wasn’t the only problem. When the large gaming company was unable to place their booths properly, it took me time to finish the third party below, and I made the overall results very slow down the event, so I appealed for a three-party position in the conference room in the form of a V.

“Hmm… I can’t. I’ll take it from the line. ”

Kurakagi, the Gear Station’s father, seemed reluctant to convey my opinions, but he finally nodded his head because there was no alternative. Then Yamanaka, the president of the NEGA, turned his head and agreed to something.

I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible because of the bizarre fights between two companies that didn’t acknowledge each other as rivals but cared about each other.

“So you want to get as far away from Sensoni and the NEGA as possible. ”

The facial expressions of Kishimoto, who was in charge of assigning booth locations for each company, were exhausting.

He was a typical Japanese guy with a very impressive protruding front teeth. About my age?

“Of course, in NEGA, we tend to follow our marketing strategy all the time. Thank you very much. ”

Yamanaka’s head turned to Kurakagi, who was making an overwhelming face with one lip up, immediately revealed an uncomfortable look.

“Don’t get cocky about a chick who just joined the gaming industry…”

“Mr. Yamanaka, what did you just say?”

“Mr. Yamanaka…? Even if you have no manners!! ”

I sighed for a long time in an increasingly speechless office. Why didn’t you just ask Kawaguchi to come?

I looked at the two companies’ representatives who were still chattering for a moment and turned to Kishimoto.

“Then I will determine the Pentagon from the letter V down to the point where the vertex touches. ”

Then the two people who were raising their voices toward each other simultaneously turned to me and shouted.

“What!? ”

“What authority do you have to take your place?!” ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

If I hadn’t come back in ’83, I’d be with you guys.

… but in their eyes, I guess I’m just a young man, a pretty high-ranking gaming director, right?

I opened my mouth with a scratch on the back of my head, looking at the two people staring at me with the strength of my eyes.

“Look, I just agreed that you two would want to be as far away from each other as possible, right? ”

“Th-that’s right. ”

“Well, it’s just here and here. ”

I was a horse, taking pictures of the interior view of the exhibition hall of Big Site, and positioning myself in the booth of Sensoni and NEGA.

“I have a meeting later with another company. I’ll leave you to it. I don’t want to waste my time picking just one spot. ”

Then, in my words, they looked up at me with a stupefied look.

“Well, I’ll be going. ”

As a courtesy, I loosened my tie and walked out of the office towards the parking lot where I had parked my car.

At that time, Kishimoto ran out after me.

“Hey, Joon-Hyuk! Kang Jun-hyuk!! ”

“Huh? Kishimoto. Something wrong? ”

“Oh, that’s not… that’s…”

“Hmm? Something else? ”

“W-Would you like to join the heroes of Idol in TGS? ”

“Yes, of course. because this is our current Pentagon Soft feature. ”

“Ahhh!! ”

“But why is that? ”

“This is personal, actually, but I’m also a fan of Erica’s at Virtual Idol. So I wondered if TGS was planning an event. ”

Wow… I didn’t think of this again. The event planner is a fan of idols.

I opened my mouth with a glancing smile in my heart.

“Thank you for your interest. Kishimoto, Erica’s going to love this. As you can see from your upcoming event planner, we have a small concert ready for you, so stay tuned. ”

“Ah, I see…! ”

Kishimoto nodded, smiling satisfactorily at my answer.

“I look forward to the concert. ”

“Oh, by the way, Kishimoto. Can I ask you a favor regarding Virtual Idol’s event? ”

“Yes?”

When Kishimoto heard that Idol’s event was being planned in the hallway for a while, he shouted with a fierce fist.

“That’s wonderful. I also believed that even without mintendo, the Pentagon would give us great planning. ”

“What do you think? Can you share my thoughts with your superiors? ”

“Oh, but I’m also not in a position to answer Joon-Hyuk’s suggestions. Plus, there’s going to be a lot of booths and tourists inside the venue…”

I smiled slightly and replied to Kishimoto, looking embarrassed as he stole the sweat that was pouring out.

“I didn’t say I was hosting an event at an event? ”

Then, Kishimoto, who was staring at me with a blank expression, just let out a sigh for a moment, and he looked horrified.

“No way!? ”

“We will send you a separate fax during the morning for detailed event formats. ”

“Joon-Hyuk!! Wait, wait, wait.

“Then Kishimoto. Please take good care of it.”

After holding Kishimoto’s hand and waving him up and down lightly, I bowed my head slightly and left the CESA headquarters.

After a while.

After leaving the association, I got in my car and headed to the club room of a Japanese electronic school near Shinjuku.

When I opened the door of the club with a large bag of bread in my hand for the students who waited for me until late, I was choked and choked by the hot heat coming out of the PC.

“Hello!!! ”

Approximately 10 students sitting in front of the PC gathered to greet me on my visit.

“Why didn’t you turn on the air conditioning when it was hot? ”

“Oh, by the way, it’s so hot. ”

At that moment, the students sitting in front of the computer were flocking to the table with their hands.

“What is this, sir? ”

“Choux cream bread. I bought what I could because I didn’t know how many of them there were, but I didn’t have enough. ”

“Oh, I was hungry! I’ll eat well!”

I smiled as I turned up the air conditioning on the inside of the room with the remote control.

“By the way, are you all done with your assignment? ”

“Knng!! ”

“Cough..”

“Ugh…”

The children who swallowed bread in my words hurriedly swallowed the beverage.

They don’t even touch their dogs when they’re eating.

I opened the window at the end of the room to ventilate with a bleeding smile.

When the pleasant breeze of late autumn touched the end of my nose, a smile was drawn on my mouth.

But where am I?

This is a Japanese school specializing in electronic gaming planning.

In South Korea, it’s like a two-year college.

And… where my secret weapons of a different color from the Pentagon are gathered.
