The entire gaming community fell into a long silence after the release of Civilization.
Whether it's the gaming community or magazine reviewers, everyone is remaining silent.
Even the magazines that love to be the first to publish articles and generate buzz dare not rush to publish a superficial review of this bizarre game.
It's only been out for a short time.
For an arcade game, a few days is enough time for them to obtain a sufficiently detailed review.
But Civilization is not a fast-paced game.
Anyone who dares to claim that they've figured it out in just a few days is absolutely lying.
Honestly, even players who have been playing this game non-stop since its initial release wouldn't dare say they fully understand it.
But one thing is universally acknowledged by all media outlets.
This is undoubtedly a perfect score!
Whether considering its historical significance or the sheer power of the work itself, it is in a class of its own.
10/10!
With a file size of only 700MB, GAMENOVA delivered a work that was ahead of its time.
A strategy game that takes resource accumulation to the extreme.
Don't stop me, I'm going to have one more round!
Why is it already light out?
If we were to ask who regrets their purchase the most amidst this grand spectacle, the answer would clearly be those buyers who hesitated to make a move, still worried that 16-bit machines might be a marketing scam.
Although GAMENOVA's production lines are now operating at full capacity, they can only continuously output tens of thousands of new machines per day.
This also needs to account for the portion with insufficient yield and transportation losses.
Want to play NovaXeno? OK, you'll have to get a number first.
You won't have to wait long; it should arrive around March next year.
Alan and Mike anxiously surrounded Frank, watching him start a new game of Ancient Babylon Civilization.
"I told you guys I wanted to pre-order, now you're in a hurry?"
Frank chuckled, leaned back in his chair with a satisfied grin, put his feet up on the table, and casually scribbled something in a highly relaxed pose.
This " Civilization " game is a real gem! The more you play, the more addicted you become, and the more you want to play!
Every game brings new discoveries, and every game presents a completely different operational strategy.
Frank has even found a new trick now.
He looked at a radio on the table, which was playing a local broadcast.
Frank casually changed the frequency before lying back down.
After playing for so many days, each of the three of them has fully demonstrated their own philosophy of survival.
After playing against the Aztec the day before, the war-crazed Mike became obsessed with them, and would occasionally play against the Norway or Scythia, enjoying the thrill of overwhelming other Civilization with sheer numbers.
Alan, on the other hand, particularly enjoyed playing with Peter was from Russia.
Somehow, under Alan's management, even though his Russians always held religious ceremonies, their productivity was never low, far ahead of the competition.
According to him, this is because he was using the " Dance of the Aurora " and "Work Ethic " combo, which provides a large adjacency bonus to religious sites.
As for Frank himself----
He looked at the portrait of Hammurabi on the screen and chuckled.
Babylon was the most fun.
Once the Eureka triggers the technology, it can be unlocked directly, ignoring any prerequisites.
This characteristic made Babylon far more formidable than any other Civilization in its pursuit of technological advancement.
How about cutting down trees to build rockets?
"Hehe, I figured it out! I should rob that Great Pyramid wonder. That way, I can give the builders an extra action, cut down more trees, and build the rocket sooner."
"Dude, I've been wanting to complain about that for a while now. What, is your rocket made of wood? You don't need coal, oil, or uranium, you just keep cutting down trees?"
"This is alien technology from our Ancient Babylon Civilization; you can learn it."
Frank burst into laughter.
Farming is great! I have to farm.
Mike curled his lip; the thing Berserker players fear most is encountering something that flies at high speed.
He played an Aztec game, and most of his opponents were on another continent.
He didn't find out about this until he had unified his continent.
Back then, he hadn't even mastered cartography, and his workplace probably didn't even know what the ocean was.
If someone hides at home and farms diligently, that can be quite difficult to handle.
What's even more infuriating is that the barbarians in this game are utterly unreasonable.
They will decide what units to generate based on the most advanced military technology currently available to all.
Last time, Mike even saw tanks popping out of the barbarian village.
Hey bro, anyone know any Barbarians who can drive tanks?
Shaking his head, Mike's self-glow lingered on the screen for a moment before reluctantly moving away.
Damn it, I really want to play another game! Why didn't I just pre-order an NX back then?!
Now the only way to snatch it from Alan is when Frank is sleeping or doing something else.
Thinking of this, Mike looked at the exquisitely packaged box in the corner, got up and walked over.
Even if you can't buy the item in stock, it's still good to look at the packaging box to satisfy your curiosity.
He picked up the box and was about to return to his bed when he suddenly heard something rattling inside.
What else is still inside this box that hasn't been taken out?
Mike frowned slightly, placed the box on the bed, and carefully opened it.
After searching for a while, he actually found something new hidden in the lining of the cardboard box.
Frank was so excited when he disassembled the machine that he didn't even look at the whole box properly and almost missed something!
Mike lifted the movable partition and was able to see what was inside.
This is an EPROM memory; he's seen countless of them in the lab.
Why is this thing in the NX packaging?
The ride back was so bumpy it felt like my car was going to fall apart!
Mike picked it up and examined it closely. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly walked over to Frank and looked at the Nova Xeno.
Sure enough, there was indeed a base on the device body where an EPROM could be inserted. It was soldered very firmly and integrated into the PCB. Only the slot protruded from the device body, allowing for easy insertion and removal of the EPROM's header pins.
"What's going on? Did it really fall apart? Is this some kind of enhancement chip?"
Mike scratched his head in confusion and showed the memory chip to Frank.
"How about we try plugging it in?"
"Hmm... I'll save this file first."
The three people gathered around the machine, inserted the memory chip, and then restarted it.
"It seems like nothing has changed?"
"No, look here, there's another option!"
Alan, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed that one of the options on the title screen had been added and wasn't there before.

My heart pounded with excitement, my hands trembled.
Frank made the selection without hesitation, and the game immediately entered an interface he had never seen before.
