"Most of these games are the latest releases: Star Wars, Solar System Fighter, Mario Bros., Formula Racing, Mahjong, Horse Racing Machine, plus Pac-Man and Super Cobra."
The two Japanese technicians who had come with Kusakari Akira introduced them.
Mahjong was just mahjong, and together with the horse racing machines, they accounted for two hundred units.
The dozen or so other games accounted for six hundred.
"How do you play this thing?" Jimmy asked, watching the constantly flashing images on the screen.
"It's simple. The joystick, the buttons..." A technician demonstrated, and Jimmy played a couple of rounds himself, growing even more interested.
As the music played, Jimmy's plane exploded, and he slapped the control panel.
Then several cries of "Shit!" came from behind him.
Jimmy turned and saw several Maids gathered behind him, watching.
"Shit, is it that much fun?" Jimmy had been startled by them.
"Just watching you play is fun," one Maid said with a grin.
"Go finish your work first. You'll have plenty of chances to play later."
"Be careful with them. Each one costs tens of thousands!"
Even without their comments, Jimmy had keenly sensed that these arcade games had a strong market.
Even he found them fun, let alone students and young people.
Their market prospects were far better than pirated videotapes.
Especially mahjong and horse racing machines-both skirted the rules.
It seemed Gu Sheng really did have ideas when he recruited him to switch sides and work for him. He just wondered how Gu Sheng had heard of him.
Afterward, Jimmy spent hours watching how the machines were installed and repaired.
It was actually simple.
If a wire in the control panel broke, solder it back together. If the power connection failed, reconnect it. As for the other components, replace the motherboard or picture
