Chapter 51: XBOX or Little King?

  Since being scolded by her father, Catherine also came to realize that her career should be taken step by step and could not be achieved overnight.

  After developing the initial CPU delay, next, what Catherine had to do was make a game console.

  GameTV is Catherine's foray into the colour TV market.

  And game consoles are probably also a byproduct of TVs - of course, it's not ruled out that people buy TVs just to play games.

  Due to concerns about GameTV's sales, Catherine did not plan to sell the separated game console simultaneously.

  In fact, she was considering pushing back the release of the game console for some time, waiting until her GameTV had occupied the TV market, and then releasing a new type of game machine.

  In the early days of game development, there were many types of storage media used to store games. The cartridges that people are familiar with today were not popular at that time. Instead, people used cassette tapes - which looked just like music cassette tapes - to store games, and this was the mainstream method.

  But Catherine, who knew the future trend, directly prepared to develop a read-only memory and put her own game on it.

  Just like now, the host in front of Catherine is a game console with a core composed of 4 CPUs, priced at $300.

  The price is very high, but this has already been reduced to the limit. However, compared to the color TV of this era, Catherine's game console is not too expensive.

  Or it's still relatively cheap.

  The processing speed of this host is slightly higher than that of GameTV, but in fact, it's not much. The cost is a problem.

  The host was designed by Catherine into a streamlined shape, with a futuristic feel that dazzles the eyes.

  The entire body is black with a metallic feel, and on top of it there is another piece of blackness, along with a slot. The piece of blackness is prepared for the logo, that is, the trademark. However, so far Catherine does not know what to name it, so here it is temporarily blank.

  The body then provides two slots, which can be fitted with two handles. These handles, after modification by Catherine, are very close to the future PS3's handle, of course, with not much function.

  The standard game console configuration is two controllers.

  Although the processor is rough, at least some simple games can still be played to the extreme.

  Catherine developed simple and silly games like Minesweeper, Sokoban, and Fire Brigade, but unfortunately, high-configuration games like Super Mario were unplayable.

  The game was released in cartridge form and then converted through Catherine's PG (PyGame) interface, currently only playable on GameTV.

  But for other markets, Catherine still developed an adapter that could at least guarantee compatibility with the VCR interface.

  After everything is settled, it's time to give this game console a name.

  But... what should I call it?

  Step by step high?

  Little Overlord?

  XBOX？

  WII？

  Catherine thought for a moment and decided it was better to call Xiaobao Wang instead.

  Right, how is Little Overlord's English spelling...

  “Subor。”

  That's it!

  Catherine burst out laughing.

  She has even thought of advertising slogans now.

  "Little overlord, endless fun, whoever uses it knows!"

  Incidentally, Catherine also did not forget to register the patent. Otherwise, someone would register their own patent in the future and then turn around and ask her for compensation, which is not unprecedented in history.

  Time was marching steadily towards 1962.

  The villa has been renovated and can be moved in after New Year's Day.

  This Christmas, Bruce didn't take his family out again. Because the recent security situation has deteriorated again, Bruce is worried about his family. Maybe once or twice it's okay, but what if something happens?

  Even going back and forth from school for Catherine requires Bruce to pick her up.

  However, Catherine soon bought a small car for herself. She had originally intended to hire a driver, but Bruce instead assigned three security guards to escort her.

  Although Bruce vetoed Catherine's plan, the company was still established.

  "Protective umbrella, or rather, Ambrella."

  Catherine didn't know whether she should be sarcastic or praise her old dad.

  But then again, there was indeed a "protection umbrella" company in history, which was established in the 1980s. What it specifically did, Catherine couldn't recall.

  Under the 1949 Geneva Conventions, this protective umbrella company should in fact be a defense "supplier".

  If these contractors are escorting troops on combat operations and are equipped with military-issued identification cards, they would be entitled to prisoner-of-war status if captured in combat. If they engage in combat, they will be considered "mercenaries".

  However, Bruce did not get too involved in these projects and quickly invited a group of people who could still communicate with each other through their own relationships. Before the cake was even eaten, Bruce started dividing it up.

  In this way, arms dealers will look at each other with disfavor, and perhaps the protection umbrella company can profit from it.

  It has to be said that Jews indeed have a set of skills when it comes to business, although Catherine also has Jewish blood in her veins, but compared to her old man, she is still green.

  Now, three burly men with gun permits, who had undergone psychiatric evaluation and training, became Catherine's bodyguards.

  Since it was her own people, Catherine didn't say much and immediately hired a few bodyguards to come to the villa she and her partners jointly purchased to keep watch.

  And now Catherine is inside this villa.

  The current villa can be said to have undergone a complete transformation.

  Firstly, the exterior has been renovated and now looks even more magnificent.

  Inside, in addition to two swimming pools, the basement was converted into a shooting range.

  Other partners have transformed the third floor into a small cinema with a 100-inch large projector screen, which is also very comfortable to watch movies.

  The Seattle World's Fair is opening in April and Catherine has actually already prepared her work.

  But now she is watching Lisa make new clothes for herself.

  Lisa's design level is quite good, at least in Catherine's view. In later generations, Catherine has seen many so-called fashion designs, but such clothes, in her opinion, are simply sensational and have no practical value at all, some of which are even semi-transparent.

  Lisa's outfit is different, although her clothes are very bold, but wearing them out at least won't be a problem...

  ……

  A very cool outfit, I don't know if it can pass the audit.
