Games of Gods and Devils
The games of gods and devils regard human beings as the
only master in the vagabond life. And their mission is to clean out the fiends, which come
to the world to cause troubles. These kinds of PC games put emphasis on supernatural
beings, so their backgrounds are not necessarily related to the wusia sphere.
'The Royal Sword, Syuanyuan Jian,' the earliest Gods and
Devils game for example, obtained materials from the famed movie 'Chinese Ghost Story,
Ciannyu Youhun,' which is based on Liaojhai Jhihyi. Ning Caichen, the hero, and Nie
Siaocian, the heroine, again were reincarnated in this computer game to be the main
characters. This kind of game also includes 'Shenjhou Bajian' 'Liaojhai Jhihyi Jhih Yougu
Chuanci.'
'Tianwai Jiansheng Lu' boasting that it was 'The PC game
with eighty thousand words' belongs to this kind of game and sold well. 'Muodau Zih' and
'Mingjie Huanji' also followed in the same kind of style.
The trend of killing the evil spirits lasted for about a
year (4/1993-4/1994). Other similar games produced during this period include 'Fongchen
Sansia Jhih Jinjian Shijhih,' 'Changcheng Wanli-Biancheng Cisia,' 'Daye Fongyun,' 'Taizih
Siangmo Jhuan,' and 'Cilin Chuanshuo.' |
