Time is passing too quickly

"Hello sir, your time is up, everyone can only experience for ten minutes."

"Ah?"

Alvin raised his head in confusion and glanced at the staff member beside him.

"I just started, didn't I?"

"You've already played three rounds of racing, it's been exactly ten minutes."

Alvin looked at the screen in front of him in disbelief.

So fast?

He didn't feel anything at all.

This Need for Speed... is quite interesting.

"Hey, please don't hog the time, we want to play too!"

People waiting in line behind began to complain loudly.

They were all journalists from different media outlets.

Their job today was supposed to be interviewing and taking photos of various technological gadgets as much as possible.

But for some reason, they unknowingly became engrossed in this electronic game and ended up wasting their time here.

But they were happy, they hadn't been this happy in years.

Alvin felt a bit reluctant and tentatively asked, "Can I play another round?"

"Hey you, do you want special treatment? Who do you think you are?!"

Alvin's face flushed when he was asked, and he retorted, "I'm Alvin, a journalist and editor at Times Electronics, haven't you heard of me?"

"We don't care who you are, just follow the rules here and stop wasting time!"

The people in line were not afraid of trouble.

Alvin was sharp-tongued, and these journalists were not easy to deal with either.

"Sir, as you can see, everyone doesn't want you to affect fairness, so if you want to play again, please line up again."

Reluctantly, Alvin stood up from his seat and glanced back at the Need for Speed game on the console.

How should he describe that racing game?

Compared to the racing game he had seen at Suirui Electronics, this one was much better.

There was a big difference in the map and the excitement of the race.

In Need for Speed, he could feel the exhilarating racing experience.

The cars in this game could suddenly accelerate every now and then, reaching speeds of over two hundred miles per hour.

Then he watched various landscapes quickly pass by on the screen, the thrill was unmatched.

He wouldn't dare to do this in real life, a slight speeding ticket would result in a pile of fines, but in this game, he could ride freely.

It was really good.

This small company was much more powerful than he had imagined.

Wait a minute, was this really a small company?

Alvin felt like it wasn't that simple.

The games they produced seemed to be more fun and mature than those of Suirui Electronics.

He decided that when he got home, he would definitely investigate Gamestar Electronic Entertainment thoroughly.

A company from Japan?

Time passed quickly.

Throughout the day, Alvin, along with any journalist patient enough to play for a while, found it difficult to leave.

Just one racing game was definitely not enough.

This time, Takayuki brought the most luxurious lineup of games.

There was something for everyone, it seemed like everyone could find their favorite among them.

In addition to the SFC, there was also the GB handheld game console that provided a complete gaming experience.

Inside were also many interesting games waiting for players to explore.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, Alvin couldn't help but think about the electronic games he experienced in the morning.

Right, he needed to look up the name of this company and ask more acquaintances about it.

He immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Stone? This is Alvin, a journalist and editor at Times Electronics, yes, it's me, I'm really glad you read my articles. I wanted to inquire about a company, a Japanese company that appeared at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, not very prominent, called Gamestar Electronic Entertainment."

"Yes, there is no exhibition record in the past, and it seems that they haven't had any products in the United States. It should be just entering the market, don't you know?"

"Oh, you have the company's website? That's great, thank you very much, I'll note it down immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Alvin immediately took out his laptop and connected to the hotel's network, then logged into the Gamestar Electronic Entertainment website.

He was initially worried that the website would only be in Japanese, but to his surprise, there was also an option for English.

Upon entering the website, he was greeted by a clean and tidy page.

This was much more visually appealing than the majority of websites on the current internet, which were quite rudimentary.

Just this website alone made him subconsciously willing to browse for a while.

On the webpage, most of the content introduced various electronic games, with little information about the company itself, only mentioning that it was founded two years ago.

However, he noticed some promotional data.

There was a historic announcement celebrating the sales of Dragon Quest 1 breaking two million, which was achieved early last year.

There were also several other games celebrating sales of over a million.

What caught his attention the most was the announcement that sales of the NES had surpassed eight million, which was from over a month ago.

As well as announcements that sales of the SFC and GB had surpassed two million.

A single electronic product, not even released in the United States yet, had already sold over eight million and two million units respectively.

Was this... something a company founded only two years ago could achieve?

But he had to admit that electronic games were indeed fun, making him feel quite captivated.

It was normal for such interesting things to sell well.

However, looking at these sales figures, he realized that this company couldn't possibly be small.

Why hadn't it gained any fame before?

Even if it hadn't released any products in the United States, the current internet had strong dissemination capabilities, there shouldn't have been no news about it online.

Thinking of this, he immediately opened a search engine and searched for all information related to FC, SFC, and GB.

He actually found related information on the internet.

It seemed that some people returning from business trips to Japan, or just arriving in the United States from Japan, would bring game consoles with them.

Then they would happily share their experiences with electronic games on the internet.

But what puzzled him was that a company with such good sales performance in less than two years would definitely become the darling of capital. Why was there no related news?

Such a company should gradually gain fame with increasing investment.

But this company had no reputation at all.
