It has been decades since the birth of video games, controversy or praise, knowing that in modern times, it has finally become the "ninth art" in the real sense.

Wind travel can be called the work of art in the game world, so art comes from life. Artists in any field are almost inspired by life, or people or things, and video games are no exception. So today, let's take a look at the real characters who appeared in the FC game and see who the game "artists" chose as their creative inspiration.

Takahashi Celebrity Adventure Island

Familiar classic works, we are used to calling it "Adventure Island", but often ignore the previous four-word suffix-celebrity Takahashi.

Takahashi Takahashi himself, a celebrity in Takahashi, is a real person. He is an employee of the game publishing company hudson. If you know that the whole hudson company was a front-line manufacturer at that time, there must be a lot of employees, so why choose Takahashi celebrity as the prototype of the game? Because obviously, the man who came to be the prototype of the protagonist of the game was not a general generation, he was a famous "video game master" at that time, and he once became a game idol with "16 shots per second". The effect of using his name as the prototype of the protagonist of a game is similar to inviting a star to endorse a well-known online game.

Of course, after his successful retirement, he also admitted to everyone that this fact was actually false and was just an official marketing tool at that time.

"Kung Fu" and "Jackie Chan kicking Pavilion"

There is no need to introduce "Kung Fu". Its original name is "one or two Kung Fu". The background story of the game is set at the end of the Qing Dynasty. "Li", a kung fu talent, begins his thrilling adventure in order to save the "fried rice people" who are trying to dominate China. Although Bruce Lee himself is not named in this game, it can be seen from its character name and the game's official poster. This must be Bruce Lee.

The posters of kung fu are obvious enough. You know, at that time, Chinese kung fu stars represented by Bruce Lee were very popular in Hollywood, and game developers could make a profit as long as they were hot, and so did Jackie Chan. And the original name of this game is "Kung Fu Master", the reason why it is called "Jackie Chan kick Pavilion" is to guide consumption, and don't mention it. The protagonist in white really feels like Jackie Chan!

But in fact, the level layout of these two games, and the enemy design, obviously refer to the famous action movie "death Game", "Jackie Chan kicking Pavilion" is very obvious, the reason why "Kung Fu" is not easy to see, it is only because the FC version has a serious shrinkage compared to the original arcade, so we have not seen it. So it is enough to see how influential Bruce Lee was at that time. He was not only a synonym for kung fu, but also a business card of China.

"Cuban Hero"

The classic FC vertical shooting game, excellent screen expression, straightforward fighting rhythm and unlimited life settings make this game a favorite of many people, and the protagonist of this game is also a real big story, they are the leaders of the Marxist revolution in Cuba, Phil Castro and Che Guevara.

Castro himself in the game

Sorry, I got the wrong picture.

The handsome Che Guevara is the spiritual totem of the left-wing youth. At least after I know their archetypes, I have a high respect every time I play, because they are two real heroes.

Contra

There is no need to introduce this too much. The two protagonists of Contra are two hardliners who have played superheroes for years: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Stallone.

The exaggerated Schwarzenegger

And the plot of the game also draws lessons from the famous horror movie "Alien". It is said that this is both a character and a movie, and there is no need to pay any royalties.

Terminator 2

Because I don't know if I got the copyright at that time, but the Terminator of SFC can be regarded as a complete restoration of the movie Terminator 2, the character is the original appearance of Schwarzenegger, the original motorcycle, the original sci-fi opening, do you really dare to do so without getting the copyright?
