IGS, Chinese name Hong Xiang Electronics Co., Ltd., was established in 199 1. We are familiar with the Three Kingdoms War and Journey to the West.
In China, our understanding of IGS is mainly through Journey to the West.
1997, IGS released The Journey to the West on its own arcade edition, which was the only game with The Journey to the West as the background story in the arcade market at that time, so once the game was launched, it became a hot spot in the eyes of players and an explosion in the arcade hall.
However, because The Journey to the West is the first horizontal game released by IGS, the mechanism and fluency of the game are not perfect. Therefore, IGS has made a more mature and well-known game-the Battle of the Three Kingdoms, based on the experience of predecessors.
1998, IGS released the first edition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Japan. At that time, there was only a beta version in Japanese. It was not released until 1999. 1 15, 1 17, 165448.
In the arcade game circle at that time, the most influential games on the theme of the Three Kingdoms were Swallowing Heaven and Earth 2 and The Battle of the Three Kingdoms. Because the Battle of the Three Kingdoms was released late, these two games are also equivalent to two groups of old and new players in the arcade era. Most people who know "Swallow Heaven and Earth 2" are early arcade players, and most of them who are impressed by "The Battle of the Three Kingdoms" are newly added.
Regarding the gameplay and content gameplay of The Battle of the Three Kingdoms 1 generation, I think everyone knows it as well as I do, so I won't explain it too much here. Every time I hear the players playing together shout out, "Are you stupid? Go this way and get the flame sword! " "Don't move! I want to see the story of diusim! " As soon as these words are spoken, they will slip away silently, thus avoiding a series of "bloodshed".
After that, IGS also released the editions of The Battle of the Three Kingdoms-The Rise of the Storm and The Battle of the Three Kingdoms-Heroes in Gone with the Times on the basis of the Three Kingdoms 1 19. As for other versions that appear now, most of them are "magic modifications" made by agents or players themselves. Their gameplay is basically the same, except that the plot is modified on the basis of the original version and more optional characters are added. Which version is better can only be asked by old players.
Later, IGS released the orthodox sequel "The Battle of the Three Kingdoms 2" while the iron was hot in 2000, but because the old players at that time had entered the society, they became "office workers"; The appearance of online games made many new players infatuated with Internet cafes, so the battle of the Three Kingdoms II was also influenced by this period, which led to its low popularity. Now most of the players who know and play in China are true fans of the war of the Three Kingdoms.
Then 20 15, the battle of the three kingdoms 3 was even more unattended. It's really embarrassing to think about it. At this time, the battle of the Three Kingdoms, which once swept the country, completely became a niche game. This may be because IGS misjudged the PC market at that time, and its main business was arcade business, so it did not pay too much attention to the PC market, which made the later Three Kingdoms Kill Series inevitable.
I still remember seeing this game on the QQ game platform, but when I entered the room and found that only dozens of players were playing, I lost interest.
IGS has actually set foot in all kinds of game fields, but only in arcade. Even in the declining era of arcade, they can still make a very fine arcade game. We can laugh at it because it can't see the trend of the game industry, but we can never deny IGS's heart for the game!
After all, when we recall our youth, there will always be IGS.
