"nailed it?"
When Lin Lixin saw Carmack leading out a sullen-faced Goch, he grinned.
It must be a terrible feeling for a genius who considers himself invincible in the field to be ruthlessly crushed by a prodigy who suddenly appears out of nowhere.
"call-
'
Carmack let out a sigh, turned and waved to Goch, "Let's go, don't pack anymore, we have things to do, don't delay Lin's matter."
I've already behaved myself and am asking for lessons.
This is Gochi's current state.
Although I was completely defeated in my area of expertise, I still have no regrets in this life because I had the opportunity to work with the developers of the legendary FPS game Wolfenstein 3D, and even the opportunity to become a developer under GAMENOVA.
"Well, his skills are pretty good, aren't they?"
"It's passable; it's usable with OpenGL."
"You have a week to come up with a feasibility verification demo, is that alright?"
"certainly."
January 1987.
Lin Lixin and Vivian walked out of the terminal and arrived in Las Vegas.
Of course, the two of them weren't there to inspect a Psychic-type gym, nor were they there to visit a casino.
Lin Lixin was holding a letter in his hand.
This is the invitation letter sent to them by the official CES exhibition organizers.
As the owner of Micron Technology, the largest video game company in the United States, Lin Li-hsin has naturally received countless invitations to CES.
However, for Lin Lixin, there were many other more important things to do than attend the exhibition.
It wasn't until this time that he truly accepted the invitation.
For no other reason than Lin Lixin looked at the briefcase Vivian was carrying.
It contains NovaRadeon produced by MicroNova.
The world's first 3D accelerated graphics card;
The first 16-bit graphics accelerator card;
The first VGA-compliant accelerator card;
It was also the first truly general-purpose graphics accelerator card.
The convention center in Las Vegas was now filled with a cacophony of voices.
Everywhere you look, you see excited geeks and reporters snapping photos non-stop.
This is the largest exhibition in the digital electronics industry.
As soon as he stepped inside, Lin Lixin noticed an oversized logo.
That's the Atari logo.
After gradually withdrawing from the video game market, Atari did not give up, but continued to try to cultivate different fields and seek new opportunities to turn things around.
The oversized fighter jet on the booth is the product they brought out this time.
Life-size fighter jet model!
It is equipped with an Atari ST series PC, which is used to run a flight simulation program.
The snow-capped mountains, rendered in pixels, rotate on the screen.
"Ah? What a coincidence."
Vivian tiptoed to take a look, then suddenly laughed, lightly patting the things she was carrying. "Did you do that on purpose?"
"Oh dear, this is a complete injustice."
Lin Lixin's expression also seemed somewhat strained.
What a coincidence that I happened to run into Atari showcasing the graphics performance of their ST series PCs here today.
You know what a mess this is.
If reporters saw this, wouldn't they say they were trying to wipe out Atari?
"Alright, forget about these unlucky bunch, Dr. Jim and the others are waiting."
Shaking his head, Lin Lixin decided not to waste any more time here.
The two of them had arrived quite a while later than the others.
MicroNova wasn't the only company from the GAMENOVA camp attending CES today.
SGI, a leader in high-end graphics workstations, naturally has a share in the market.
Of course, NeXT and DELL were also there, with their booths set up in the PC/DELL section.
As the two continued walking into the exhibition hall, the lights gradually dimmed.
Soon the two came to a booth with just as many people as Atari.
The crowd of onlookers packed the booth tightly, making it impossible to move.
In the center of the crowd were several brand-new PCs.
That's the Amiga 500 from Amiga Corporation.
An animation is playing on the screen.
It was a rotating metal sphere, and even the surface reflected highlights.
Although the rendering is a bit laggy and slow, the price tag of only three digits is enough to make everyone overlook this minor flaw.
The Amiga2000, also produced by Amiga, is in a similar situation, except that the rendered graphics are more complex.
This is purely a show of force, clearly flaunting the powerful capabilities of its Amiga series.
Now their expressions became even stranger.
"Oh no, this makes us look like we're here to cause trouble."
."
Vivian responded with a moment of silence.
What a coincidence!
Why are so many PC manufacturers choosing this year's CES to showcase their 3D performance?
"Ahem, let's go quickly, or we won't be able to escape if the reporters block our way."
Lin Lixin tightened his scarf and hurried onward into the depths.
We've finally arrived at the PC/PC combo zone.
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived here.
We're finally back at base camp.
Looking around, all I could see were my own people.
NeXT's concept machine, DELL's budget-built PC, SGI's graphics station, Logitech's peripherals booth —
Many PCs were surrounded by children who were so happy they were going crazy.
Holding joysticks or mice, they were completely oblivious to the passersby around them, engrossed in playing what was running on their PCs.
There's the familiar OriginSystems RPG game "Ultima", as well as their own "Minesweeper" and "Spider Solitaire".
"My goodness, you've finally arrived!"
On one side of the area, on a large, partitioned exhibition stand, Sam was working up a sweat alongside a group of temporary workers.
He arrived two days earlier than the other two to set up the GAMENOVA booth.
NovaBo, NovaPocket, and NovaXeno are all must-see stars at this year's CES.
Who wouldn't want to see the NovaXeno, the machine that single-handedly ended an entire era?
It's important to know that even today, a large number of orders are still pending on the production line.
There's absolutely no way you can get your hands on the goods in stock.
For many players who came to see the actual device at the exhibition, it was already a great achievement.
Lin Lixin waved to the others to exchange greetings before quickly walking over to Sam.
"Are our supplies ready?"
"Here, as you requested, it's placed in the center of the booth."
Sam gestured towards the center of the booth, where a fully functional PC, assembled with Dell's assistance, was already set up.
Multi-purpose machine.
It looks almost identical to other PCs, at least that's how it appears on the surface.
However, its motherboard's northbridge chip is custom-made by MicroNova.
This means it is compatible with SDRAM memory modules manufactured by Micron Technology, a subsidiary of MicroNova.
In addition, this PC has a reserved ISA slot, which is naturally reserved for the Nova Radeon graphics card.
"Alright, let's not be shy then, shall we begin?"
Lin Lixin clapped his hands, signaling to Vivian that they could begin their operation.
She stepped forward, placed the briefcase on the table, and opened it. Inside lay the beautiful circuit board, with two spare versions and emergency repair tools beside it.
In addition, there is a CD called "D0OM".
It's time to show everyone what true 3D really is.
