STAY AT HOME!

　Although the vaccination is progressing more and more, Corona is still invisible to the end of the end.Many people are unable to go out freely and are forced to live stressed.Therefore, in the 7th installment of this Stay at Home! Project, we played with nostalgic rules that were dominant at the time of release, using the NES software "Star Soldier" which celebrated its 35th anniversary on June 13.Let's introduce how to play with parents and children.

　This work is a vertical scroll shooting game released by Hudson in 1986, called "excessive shooting".When the Caesar of the aircraft is fully powered up, the beam (shot) can be fired in five directions at the same time, and the pleasure of shooting the enemy that appears from all sides is still fading.The number of enemy characters is over 30, there are plenty of attack variations, sometimes speedy, and at some time, many of the trickies that move in tricky are so beautiful that they can be seen unintentionally.

　Like the predecessor, Star Force, it is a unique feature of this work that it contains hidden bonuses and hidden characters everywhere, greatly evoking the player's quest and challenge spirit.The jingle and light BGM at the start of the stage and the light BGM at the start of the stage (the song change when you fully power up) is also wonderful.

　This work is used for the 2nd TDK National Caravan Famicon Tournament (hereinafter referred to as "Caravan") (hereinafter "Caravan"), which was held by Hudson in the summer of 1986 at department stores all over the country.It is also famous for being done.For readers in their forties and over, few people have read articles in this tournament in the manga magazine "Korokoro Comic", which were participating in "Caravan" at the time or sponsored by the tournament.It will be there.( * By the way, the first tournament was held in 1985 "Star Force" was used).

　This time, this work is not only because of the 35th anniversary timing.The fact that this work has been released 35 years after its release means that people who were once a "caravan warrior" have children of almost the same age as when they were hooked on this work.There are many people who have become dads and moms.If you take this opportunity, we would like you to deepen your parent -child communication while playing this work in the same way as the nostalgic "caravan", so -called "Caravan Rules".

　I am very sorry for my personal matter, but I have experienced 35 years ago to accumulate pocket money, travel to department stores in a certain region and participate in Caravan.At the venue, 20 NES were prepared, and I remember that the top 20 players in order of score in order of scores were the rules for the top 20 players to advance to the finals.The player who scored the highest score in the finals was awarded as a winner at each venue, and the player who hit the highest score among the winners of all venues gained the best title in Japan.It was a dream event for the girls.

　Most of the participants are elementary and junior high school boys of almost the same generation as the author at the time, and remember that they gathered about 500 (!) At the venue.I missed the championship (I was confident that I would definitely win ...), but I met a NES master who had only seen in the "Korokoro Comic" magazine at the venue, and was wrapped in an unusual enthusiasm.The memories of playing in the middle and the prizes from the staff are still important treasures.

　In the following, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a legend in this article, but let's lecture on how to enjoy this work with the "Caravan Rules".First of all, daddy moms were going to have a time slip in time when they were "caravan warriors", reviewing the basic operation and bonus scores, and performing model performances to children.I want you to have it.The rules are extremely simple and clear shooting games, so even if you do not know this work, you will be able to communicate how to play once.

　"How about dad (mom) is Umai!" While proud to the children, parents and children played seriously, and the memories of the time they participated in "Caravan", and "When Daddy Mama was a child.I hope that the "Caravan" held is like the headwaters of the current e -sports ... "
