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

The propaganda poster of "Need for Speed" I don't know what the first racing game in game history was, but at least in my memory, I was able to experience the pleasure of racing with people on TV for the first time. It is a "rocket car" that often appears in N-in-one cards.

The magic reform made my childhood wish come true. This game, which is produced by Colome and has simple, rough but challenging rules, was originally called "ROAD FIGHTER", which means "Road Fighter". As for the translation of "Rocket car", the degree of reduction of the game is the best.

In the game, we drive a red car and need to reach the finish line before the gas runs out. But it is obvious that the traffic regulations of that era were quite imperfect, so we would encounter all kinds of green cars with drunk driving and random lane change from time to time, obviously slowing down the big trucks that want you to rear-end. And the construction roadblocks without any hints at all are hindering your progress. It must be said that although the game is a little rough, the degree of endurance is still unknown.

I can complain that when I was a kid, I thought I was driving a slipper puller. since it's a racing game, does the Rocket have a prototype?

The answer is yes. we all know that vehicles in the game are distinguished by color. Our vehicles are red, yellow vehicles obey the law and walk in a straight line, red one-way lanes change lanes, green drunk drivers deliberately touch porcelain, big trucks hit the streets as soon as they hit, and there are even colored vehicles that can recover blood inexplicably.

The answer to what model and prototype of these cars is in the original cassette manual.

The MSX cover Kelome is a Japanese game manufacturer, and Japan's automobile industry is extremely developed, the protagonist red car should be Honda or Mazda and so on!

But fans who are familiar with cars can see that this tough muscle line does not look like a Nissan car, yes! The prototype of the red sports car actually comes from Corvette, a well-known sports car brand owned by the American manufacturer Chevrolet.

Corvette C3 Corvette is a national-class luxury sports car brand in the United States, and our protagonist in the game is the Corvette C3, which was first released in 1968. Well, at least from the picture point of view, the degree of restoration is still good!

It is worth mentioning that the cover of the European and American versions of the game specially emphasizes the basic performance of the sports car-the V12 dual overhead camshaft engine with a maximum of 2500 horsepower. But who knows what you're talking about! I'm just a kid. I just want to play a game.

But when I began to understand these technical terms, I was really shocked, this is not an explosive change is clearly a magic change! More than 20 million Bugatti Airlines just reached 1000 horsepower, your 60's sports car drove 2500, you put the engine of the fighter on the car! Hey, wait a minute, is that why you call this game "road fighter"?

If you take a closer look at the data, you will find that the engine used in this C3 is a V8 engine, and the maximum horsepower is only 400, so Colome absolutely changed the vehicle at that time, otherwise how could it break 100 at the instant speed of pressing B? A lot of unscientific people.

When it comes to Corvette, there are not a few people who know it in China, one because of "Need for Speed" and the other because of trademark jokes.

Dare you say it's not like it? because it is so similar to Wuling's car logo, so it basically lives in a joke. All right, let's get to the point. Is there any follow-up work for this game? the answer is yes, and there is more than one!

Only a year after FC's Rocket car went on sale, Colome launched a sequel to the game. Since it is a sequel, it must be Rocket car 2.

But oddly enough, Colome named it "RED FIGHTER2", and it's a completely rocket-powered game, so why not "ROAD FIGHTER2" instead of "RF2"?

From the actual experience of the game, this can be called the main perspective version of "Rocket car". The game inherits the original system and adds new elements such as motorcycles, and the first-person perspective sensory experience is also great!

But in the decade since then, Colome seems to have forgotten that there has been no sequel to its only racing series.

But 10 years later, Colome suddenly released a 3D racing game called Midnight Run:Road Figher 2, which translates into Chinese as "midnight rush-rocket car 2".

This is a serious rocket car name of the "rocket car" game, but in fact it basically has nothing to do with the "rocket car" relationship!

The fuel system was replaced by the popular lap timing system at that time. The map that originally started the journey from the United States was also changed to the map of Tokyo, Japan. In short, it was basically changed beyond recognition, and the feedback from the players was general. Because it doesn't feel like a rocket car at all.

Do you think this bowl of cold rice is so cold? No, no! Hot and cold rice must be delicious! Fifteen years later, in 2010, Colome once again found the "Rocket car" and launched a new version of the ship that supports 3D glasses as a gimmick. it is even more interesting, called "ROAD FIGHTERS", which is directly called Rocket car II. I would like to ask Mr. Colome, what were those two before? Do you all like to play with your names so much?

The form of the game is basically a realistic version of "Mario Racing" and "Crazy Racing Kart Rider", and even on a serious route similar to "Need for Speed" this time, including cars like Audi R8 Ford GT, but the most annoying problem for players is that they don't have a Corvette. What kind of rocket car is this?

So, this is another game without three generations, and the reason is really strange, because it actually has three second-generation works. Colome, can't you even sell your feelings?
