Games of the Vagabond Life

      The first wusia RPG games in Taiwan can boast of both ‘Siake Yingsyong Jhuang and the next year product, Dulai Jinggang Cyuan Chuanci. These two games should be regarded as the primitive type of this kind of game, because they imitated others. The former one was criticized as being a poorly made Chinese version of a Japanese game. The latter was criticized as having too few episodes and having too simple of a story. However, they, can evidence the awareness and the ambition of the producers, who wanted to develop Chinese computer games.

      The wusia background used in these games were already familiar topics to the audience. For example, the game ‘Siaying Jinuses the head of the Mojiao gang, Siao Ran, to be the antagonist. The game Jiake Yingsyong Jhuan?creates a story about the members in martial arts circle who come together to go on a punitive expedition against the Mojiao gang. In Dulai Jingang Cyuan Chuanci, the player played a role as one of San Fong Chang disciples.
