In the history of the evolution of games after the 80s, how many moments are familiar to you?

Recently, the gaming world seems to be in a retro trend. After "Warcraft 3" announced that it would launch a remastered version, EA officially confirmed that "Red Alert: Remastered" is in production, and the highest quality of the remastered version will support 4K! Many gamers are excited about it, and those beautiful childhood memories have been reawakened, such as Brother Da Fei, who was born in 1983.

大飞哥可以说是我们这群人中，对游戏的最热爱的一个人，从小到大可以说是一路就这么“玩”过来的。像我这种只看不玩的人，就经常被他吐槽没童年。大飞哥小时候非常顽皮，是街机厅的常客，所以被老爸领出来揍也是家常便饭。揍完老实个一两天又会去，依然“皮”性不改。

Originated from "Little Overlord", we must work hard to win

In the early 1990s, Subor game consoles became popular. Da Fei was attracted to this "rare item" when he first saw it at his friend's house. He was only 10 years old at that time. Subor was not cheap, so when Da Fei asked his mother to buy one, he was rejected as expected.

Do you think Da Fei gave up? No, he wiped his tears and worked hard. Finally, he got the Little Overlord with excellent results in the final exam that year. "Tank Wars" is a game that he remembers very well. Although it is simple and the graphics are rough, it brought Da Fei a lot of fun.

I have played Tank Wars countless times.

After trying the fun of the game for the first time, Da Fei fell in love with it. After buying Subor, he also bought a handheld game console.

Computers led me to the path of "guerrilla warfare" style games

At the end of the 20th century, with the popularization of Windows and the optimization and performance improvement of the Pentium series processors, computers began to become popular. At the same time, Internet cafes also began to emerge. Da Fei occasionally went to Internet cafes with a few classmates to play games. At that time, there were not many stand-alone computer games, but many people were impressed by them, such as "Age of Empires 1" and "Chinese Paladin".

But it was not advisable to go to the Internet cafe too often, so Da Fei asked his father if he could buy him a computer under the pretext of "studying". In those days, a complete computer was very expensive. But it happened that buying a computer for the new home that year was also in Da Fei's plan, so Da Fei got the computer so "easily".

Looking back now, Dafei always feels that the limited gaming time during those years was the happiest moment to relieve stress in his busy study life.

My youth is about fighting monsters, not falling in love

Time passed into the millennium. In 2005, "World of Warcraft" was launched in China. The new gameplay and visual experience shocked everyone. Not surprisingly, Da Fei bought a game card and got into the game. As an early player, he completed all the tasks by himself. When the first copy was completed, the sense of satisfaction was beyond words.

Four years later, a game called Aion was born. The beautiful graphics, exquisite face-shaping system, aerial combat and massive fortress battles excited many people. In order to pursue a new gaming experience brought by exquisite graphics, he got a brand new Intel Core car just for Aion. At the age of 27, he didn't want to fall in love, he just wanted to kill monsters and level up. Although he was single, he was very proud because his equipment was the best in that version at that time!

In early 2011 , the second generation of Intel Core processors was launched, and the performance was further improved compared to the previous ones. In order to ensure the gaming experience, Da Fei placed another order. This is a bit like a girl's lipstick. Even if it is not used up or broken, if there is a new and better color, you will be tempted to buy it.

Being both a super dad and a game king

Games are a belief

Dafei is now a father of two children and has entered the next stage of his life. As he approaches his 40s, his passion for games remains undiminished. Of course, the computer is still his best gaming partner, but now he mostly uses a gaming laptop.

On the one hand, it is relatively more convenient to use a laptop due to the needs of work and life. On the other hand, the gaming laptop equipped with the 8th generation Core i7 processor has higher CPU frequency, more cores, and memory support, which provide strong power for playing games. With the update of equipment, the gaming experience has also risen. Compared with the past, the gameplay is richer and the picture is more realistic. For example, the popular PUBG, Battlefield 5, Overwatch, etc. This is also an important reason why Da Fei still loves games.

Every day after the children go to bed, Dafei would hold his gaming laptop in the living room and play one or two games with his friends who are already fathers. He could switch between the roles of super dad and gaming king with ease.

Up to now, Da Fei Ge has played countless games. As an only child born in the 1980s, games are more like a kind of companionship for him. During the game, he may cry or laugh, try again when he fails, and cheer enthusiastically when he succeeds. Although games are not life, they constitute life. They are an important part of many people's youth and a belief of many players. In that virtual world, they pursue the purest happiness.
