Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

The games we played in the early years were basically pirated games. Whether it's arcade games, FC games, console games, or PC games.

I can't help it! The price of genuine games is not in line with the national conditions at that time, and our income is completely out of proportion, even if there is a similar genuine game store, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to open. Just like this, at that time, there was no way to buy genuine copies, and we could only buy them back through friends.

After the 1990s to 2000, the pirated game market was so hot that it could be seen almost everywhere on the street, even peddling at local stalls. These games are not as convenient as today's fool bags, decompression is to play, need some experience and hands-on ability to play, cracking may not be 100%.

If the computer is stupid, it will be more difficult to operate. However, every player has gone through this period, even if the game will not be installed, it will be learned in a month or half a year.

Install the game, if you want to install the game, you need to go through layers of difficulties, the first difficulty is the quality of the game CD.

Some CDs did not respond after they were put into the CD-ROM drive, and the excited mood fell to the bottom in an instant.

Players are already a little excited after putting the CD into the CD drive and running it.

Then according to the prompts to install step by step, enter the installation progress bar, from 1% to 90% of the state of mind is very stable, but more than 95% began to be nervous, because this is the key to the success or failure of the installation game.

Any game will pause when it is installed at 99%, when the player must hold his breath and wait and see what happens.

When you are lucky, skip to 100% of the installation.

Bad luck, stuck at 99% here for a long time, only jumped to 100% when the players were desperate, but fortunately, it succeeded.

If it is unlucky, it will be stuck in 99% of the time, and it will be the same after going out for a walk. At this time, the heart of the player is more tangled! However, if you take out the game CD and gently wipe it with toilet paper, it is possible to reinstall it.

In the early years, both household appliances and computers had many inexplicable factors that human beings could not master.

The funny thing is that some games are forced to eject the CD-ROM drive with only 99% installed, but when we open the game, we find that we can play it, and there is no problem with customs clearance.

In the later stage, our game installation package is mainly spread on the Internet, and many websites provide downloads. Senior players can avoid family buckets, rogue software, rogue web pages, but still can not get rid of the virus, there is no way, the virus and the game at the same time.

EXE is the mainstream game installation format in the early stage, and there is no so-called green package to unpack and play. Therefore, it is normal to step on mines, while master players know how to protect themselves after stepping on mines.

Experienced people, when searching for games, often add a "ISO", "torrent" or magnet, so that the games found are basically without rogue software.

Today, many years later, no matter what game I install, I will not use the Chinese path unless it is the default.

This is the after-effect of playing games at that time.

What causes it? I believe the little friends who have experienced all know it! The Chinese path will cause many games not to be played.

I remember that at that time, after I installed the game, I clicked on the game icon but popped up an unintelligible warning. After all kinds of testing, debugging, and even searching for solutions on the Internet, there is no answer, and it will not succeed after reinstallation.

After a long time, I suddenly saw a similar encounter on the Internet, but someone else just reinstalled the game and changed the game installation file into English. After trying it myself, I found that it was really. I didn't expect that such a small setting would involve so much.

In the later stage, even 90% of the games can be installed in Chinese and English at will. I always choose the English path and don't want to experience any more setbacks.

Virtual optical drive: I hate those games that need virtual optical drive most, but is there any way? The installation still has to be installed!

You can't unplug the optical drive every time! Besides, unplugging the CD-ROM drive in the later game can no longer be solved, and the virtual CD-ROM drive must be used.

After installing the game package into the virtual CD-ROM drive, there is basically no pressure to play the game, that is, it is very uncomfortable to see an extra drive letter every time, and uninstall it immediately after the game is over.

But sometimes there is a problem with the virtual optical drive, where the game package is not detected, or the lack of patches is prompted after loading the game. Occasionally it will affect the experience. I remember that I wanted to play Tomb Raider. I downloaded 6 or 7 gigabytes of image files for a long time. After installation, I seriously abandoned the lost frame.

I don't know if the poor game experience is due to the virtual CD-ROM drive or my computer configuration.

Report drugs I am sure that more than 50% of the players will choose to delete decisively after seeing the game report drugs!

But senior players will depend on the situation. After the game experience, there is no exception in the computer's task manager, no plug-ins and software are forcibly installed, and the computer does not have any anomalies within a few days, so you can rule out the virus.

And even if it hits the virus, it can be restored through GHOST. Anyway, it has been backed up before, no matter how the virus erodes.

In the eyes of senior players, the reports of antivirus software are all false positives, belonging to "cure without illness as merit". It is obvious that there is no problem, but we have to find some problems and take it as our own credit.

For cracking games and pirated games, antivirus software may report virus, which is also very normal. Just like this, later players will remind when sharing game software: games will report poison, please download carefully

However, vegetable chicken players are still highly dependent on antivirus software.

I remember when I was a novice, the computer was messed up because of downloading, was hit by a variety of virus pop-up windows, all kinds of rogue software was installed, and all kinds of junk.

Coincidentally, rogue software installed 360 family buckets for me, so I directly used 360 antivirus software to sweep once, rogue software was cleaned directly, other viruses were all checked and killed, the computer unexpectedly returned to normal, and then deleted 360 was clean. Thus it can be seen how important antivirus software is to vegetable chicken.

Speaking of games reporting drugs, at that time I found a lot of game resources on the Internet, and after their own testing to determine the security, and then share it with fans to play. Tens of thousands of fans will be fine after playing.

But others said they were poisoned after downloading it. Antivirus software reported virus, but also said that I killed people, and even to the forum to post attacks, and I can only dumb eat Coptis chinensis!

Fortunately, other friends who downloaded the game explained it, otherwise it would not be clear to jump into the Yellow River. It is true to believe in antivirus software, but you can't live up to the kindness of others.

Now playing new games, the total feeling is to follow a process, do not want to study the details, after customs clearance is boring.

Sometimes playing those games with high scores is just so-so, and I don't know how to get a high score.

Maybe the mentality of the game has changed!

In my spare time, I still like to reflect on those old games.

It always reminds me of that carefree green days.
