Poetry war scenes and exquisite game scenes are unbearable. At the European Joint Manufacturing Personal Computer held in Berlin, Germany today, Universal once again proved its powerful software development capabilities to the world with its unparalleled performance.

In 1992, when Westwoodudios developed the "Dune Castle II", people were amazed. Even if the combat strategy game opened a new era of computer games, it was a new era for computer games. But as more and more real-time strategy games emerged, people began to get tired of this model. They built endlessly, and then put troops forward and governed. Even if the strategy game began to become a tool for everyone to exercise their fingers, as long as you are fast enough, you will surely win.

People predict that the instantaneous strategy game of Fengji is about to decline.

But at the European PC showcase that opened today, the reporter witnessed the real-time strategy game with his own eyes and rejuvenated a new life.

Whether it is the sensory stimulation brought by 3D pictures; the cancellation of resource collection and the use of strategic points; and the expansion of the breadth and depth of the game, and the development of the battlefield from flat land to space, Universal has shown us new ideas for real-time strategy games.

The four games they launched at one time show the powerful software development capabilities that Universal Company cannot surpass.

Although these games have not been officially launched yet, I can tell the American game fans without exaggeration: Your Christmas this year will be very fulfilling!

Thousands of game fans crowded the exhibition scene. These teenagers in their teenagers squeezed out computer users from the European joint manufacturing personal computer exhibition venue, completely occupying the position.

They told reporters that in order to see the true face of the new game, many people have been waiting in line outside the exhibition venue since yesterday night. European computer manufacturers have to blame Universal for this, for why they put such fascinating games on the venue that showcased European personal computer achievements, which has evolved into such a scene that is now domineering.

European personal computer manufacturers have invested a lot of money and manpower to create a product that surpasses American computers, but they have achieved such a result. I wonder if they will resent Universal for this.

Today, the European Software Committee visited the European Joint Manufacturing Computer Exhibition. A British veteran in his sixties tried "The Raid" on the spot, but when he landed in Normandy, he was beaten to pieces by a player who played the German army. Hundreds of thousands of British and American warships were bombed and drowned. If Rommel had the level of this player, the history of World War II would have been rewritten.

After the game ended, the veteran embraced the German players who played the German army. He said that this game faithfully reproduced the history of World War II. All military uniforms, weapons and equipment were in line with historical facts. The smooth and almost real game scene made him feel like he was returning to World War II. It seemed that he was not in an air-conditioned room, but returned to the battlefield of artillery fire and the earth. The war was so cruel. He was very happy that today's Britain and Germany stood together as allies. I hope that in the future, there would be no tragedy like World War II.

European Software Council. Wonderful praise for the games launched by Universal.

They unanimously stated that exquisite and large-scale 3D games are the future development direction. In Europe, they are willing to reach closer cooperation with Universal to provide gamers around the world with a variety of computer games.

A joint manufacturing computer ordered by the editorial department from Europe was delivered as scheduled today. The editors finally had the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive test of the rumored joint manufacturing computer.

Using the prevailing test software, the test results obtained are only slightly higher than Intel's entire machine and do not show super-class performance.

When running the racing game "Need for Speed", although the game screen is very smooth, I always feel that the performance of this machine seems to be a bit exaggerated.

Then, when the editor was running the Universal Age of Empires at the same time as the Intel computer, he clearly distinguished the difference between the two. Through the test program, we found that when the European Union Manufacturing runs Age of Empires, its data processing and picture resolution capabilities were nearly twice that of Intel computers!

This is an amazing number!

According to process analysis, the main reason for the improvement of computer performance is that the game has made maximum optimizations for 64-bit technology and new graphics cards, giving full play to the performance of the hardware.

It can be seen that the motherboard technology manufactured by German companies is indeed unique. For the new display driver mode and 64-bit technology, the game will far exceed the current games.

At the same time, this model is compatible with the previous 32-bit software, and this wise approach will win more users for them.

…………

On the eve of Christmas, dozens of European and Japanese game developers said they would develop new 3D games. They jointly called on joint manufacturing companies to open up corresponding software and hardware interfaces for third-party software developers to support the display technology and 64-bit technology of the new joint manufacturing computer.

French UBI, which once developed "Lehman" and "Prince of Persia", said that 3D games are irresistible trends, and only by following this trend is the real direction of game development. With the strong power support of joint manufacturing, European game developers will develop one after another that game players can't put it down.

——Yomiuri Shimbun December 1997

…………

The Dutch PB company, which produces joint manufacturing, announced that it will soon disclose the corresponding design interfaces to third-party software developers around the world to cooperate with software developers to launch more colorful games and software.

For the previous 32-bit software, pb company announced a converter on its official website today. With the help of this converter, software vendors can easily compile the original 32-bit software into a 64-bit program. The entire conversion process is not complicated and will not take more than a month.

The sixty-fourth spring seems to be coming.

——European Times December 1997

The time to cheer players around the world has arrived. Today, the online version of "Roman Empire" opened a server in Germany to provide services to game fans around the world. According to the service trademark, there will be no service fee during the initial trial operation. The data will be cleared and the server will be officially opened. Online game services will be provided in the form of monthly subscriptions.

All users who have purchased joint manufacturing personal computers will receive two months of free service during the official operation.

Good luck to the users of the joint manufacturing.

On the official website, the service provider provides customer versions of 3d and 2d versions. For users who have purchased joint manufacturing, they can directly download the 3d version to enjoy a visual feast. Users of the old model can also download the 2d version, and they can also fight in the Roman Empire era and become a generation of Caesar.

Following the German bulk government purchase orders, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries have issued large procurement contracts to PB.

The total amount of the transaction site is expected to reach billions of dollars.

It is reported that low-income regions such as Eastern Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia are also preparing to purchase and manufacture computers in large quantities to satisfy their desire for modernization.

——Lian Zaobao January 1998

…………

PB is dumping their joint manufacturing worldwide at a number of 100,000 units per month.

Due to the misleading of many media, many countries think that the jointly manufactured personal computers have surpassed Intel. This is actually a misunderstanding.

In actual use, they would not notice that this computer is much faster than Intel's computers.

Because. This is just a gaming computer that supports updating visual technology. If you want to rely on this computer, you can only realize office automation. This is just a delusion!

…………

American game fans finally got the famous "Raid". When users couldn't wait to install the game on their computers and prepare to have fun, they were embarrassed to find that their computers did not show any satisfactory effects when running the game.

Compared with the battle videos recorded by European users online, American game fans have to endure Intel's inferior computers and wait for the guns to fire. They can go to the bathroom and dress up without making any mistakes.

Game fans across the United States complained about when they could enjoy the joy of pure 3D games happily.

The increasingly popular joint manufacturing of personal computers has been officially launched in nearby Canada recently. Passionate computer users only arrived at the dealership in just one hour. They snatched it up.

Those users who did not buy computers all placed orders in advance at the dealership. The reporter did not get accurate figures from the dealership, but from the other party that they would rent two large container freighters and transport computers from Europe, it can be judged that Canadian computer users' expectations for new models of computers will be eased in the near future.

Another interesting thing this time is that a large number of American tourists flocked to Canada on the US-Canada border. But their purpose is not to travel to Canada, but to buy the joint manufacturing they have long been eager for in Canada.

The American computer dealers finally lowered their proud heads and admitted to their European brothers that they needed joint manufacturing in Europe.

The generous American dealers placed a super order of 500,000 units from PB company at one time. Fortunately, PB company cried two years ago because its production capacity could not keep up.

Nec, which was originally a company that expanded its production line and stepped down, is still worried. Mr. Hosokawa, who was once the chairman of the PB company's fumigation board, said with pain that due to the short-sightedness of the company, he sold the chicken that had been laying golden eggs for tens of millions of dollars. This is probably the company's biggest decision-making mistake in the past years.

Hedell, the current chairman of the board of directors of the company, laughed happily. In the most difficult time, he withstood the pressure. Not only did he not withdraw, but instead used the right of first refusal. He purchased all the equity of NecD and became the largest shareholder of PB. During the past few days, Hedell was still full of emotion. He sincerely admired the amazing courage of the German General Company.

He believes that this is the most commendable investment since the company was established and has achieved amazing results.

In the European stock market, PB and several other European companies have been rising steadily since the end of last year. In three months, their stocks tripled!

And judging from this momentum, this round of highs is far from the end!

US dealers expressed strong dissatisfaction with the US government's high taxes on jointly-made personal computers.

The U.S. Department of Commerce said that due to joint

Human computers, which use Universal's processors and LCD displays, will impose punitive tariffs of 16% to 37% on jointly manufacturing personal computers in Europe.

Intel stood up front for the first time today and waved olive branches to European computer companies. An Intel spokesperson said they were willing to replace Universal and become a supplier of processors in joint manufacturing. He said that Europe and the United States have always been close, and he was sincerely happy to see the rapid rise of European computer companies.

The spokesperson also said that only when Europe and the United States join forces can the real "joint manufacturing"!

PB company held a press conference today to explain to the reporters attending the conference that although Intel chose to release the news on the 41st, it was very meaningful for April Fools' Day news. But they were still willing to consider forming a strategic alliance with Intel.

——AFP 984

Intel held a press conference here today and highly praised PB's decision. They are willing to ship goods to Europe today. They also hope to form a closer cooperative relationship with European computer companies and share technology.

Intel is extremely interested in the new display transmission technology of German motherboard manufacturers and put forward the intention of the acquisition.
