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. |
