In 1991, three UCLA graduates, Mike Mowaimi, Alan Adehan, and Frank Pierce, met each other because of a coincidental computer password, JOE. After graduation, the three of them founded Silicon and Neural Key.
The company was led by Mike Mowaimi and Alan Adehan. The other founder rarely participated in the actual management of the company. The goal of these two founders was very simple, which was to make a game that they liked and that players all over the world liked.
However, the idea was beautiful, but the reality was always cruel. After releasing two games, Silicon and Neural Key fell into a worse situation.
"Damn it, why are we called Silicon and Neural Key? I bet that 99.99% of the people in the United States can't pronounce the word 'Neural Key'!" In the office, Alan Adehan complained crazily.
"Yes, that's right. If the three of us didn't use the word 'Neural Key' as the password for the computer at the same time, I don't think this damn company would exist!" Mike Mowaimi replied.
The two of them, plus Frank Pierce, got to know each other because they set the same technological password, Synapse. After a sincere conversation, they found that the three of them had the same dream, which was to make the best game in the world. Thus, the game company, Silicon and Neural Key, was born.
"Listen to me, Mike. We have to find a way to get another 100,000 US dollars this week, or our company is finished!" Alan Adehan said loudly.
"Yes, this is all because of the damn Nintendo. We sold 100,000 copies of the game, and each copy was worth 49 US dollars. But in the end, we only got 15 US dollars. We only made 1.5 million US dollars. It's too damn. We can't even pay the programmer's salary!"
"And the damn water and electricity costs!" Mike Mowaimi said.
"Damn it, I asked you to solve the cost problem, not to complain about Nintendo here, although Nintendo really deserves to die!" Alan Adehan said.
"Damn it, what else do you want me to do? My 12 credit cards have all been overdrawn. If the banks know that I did these things, they will take away my father's house, and then I'll be finished. Adham, you should be the one to solve the funding problem this time! "
"Oh, my God, it's only your house that may be seized. My house has already been sold. It was left to me by my great-grandmother! Damn it! "
"Yes, a total of 2,000 USD worth of ancestral property!"
"But it was left to me by my great-grandmother!"
While the two damn guys were quarreling, they were constantly modifying the program in the computer.
Although these two damn guys kept yelling, he had to admit that it didn't affect their work speed. Instead, it seemed to be faster than usual. This was probably the bond between friends.
"Damn it, I'm not writing anymore. I want to play games!" Suddenly, Alan Adkhan probably felt that he had reached his limit. He threw away the computer mouse in his hand, then collapsed on the chair, took out a GB and began to play.
"What are you playing?" McMorrow asked curiously.
"Of course it's the latest Pokemon. This game is too fun, but damn it, I can't catch Meow Meow!" Alan Adham muttered.
"What? You still have money to buy a game cartridge! " McMorrow exploded in an instant and reached out to grab the GB in Alan Adham's hand. "Damn it, I eat hamburgers every day to save money, but you are willing to spend money to buy a game cartridge!"
"Oh my God, my Pokemon, I haven't had time to play yet!" McMorrow wailed as he grabbed it.
Just as the two bosses were fighting in the office, the office door suddenly opened. A petite and cute female secretary happened to see the scene of Alan Adehan pressing on Mike Mo Huaimi.
"Don't get me wrong, we're just playing games!" Seeing the little secretary's face as if she had seen a ghost, Alan Adham quickly explained.
"Understood! Understood! " The secretary carefully retreated, Alan Adham could only call the secretary back and ask, "What are you looking for us for?"
"It's like this. There is a gentleman who claims to be the chairman of the Rocket Game Production Company. He wants to meet with you two. He said that he has something important to talk to you about!"
"Rocket Team? What a strange name, it sounds like a team. Have you heard of this company? "McMorrow curiously asked Alan Adham beside him.
"I seem to have heard of this name!" Alan Adkhan had actually heard of this name before, but he couldn't figure out where he had heard it from even after thinking about it for a long time.
Until Alan Adham glanced at his desktop, where there was a box with a Pokemon game cartridge.
Alan Adham grabbed the box and looked at the name of the game publisher and producer, and then said excitedly, "Mike, this is the company that made Pokemon!"
"What?" McMorrow grabbed the box and looked at it several times, and finally confirmed that it was really a Pokemon made by the Rocket Team.
"Damn it, my idol actually came to the door, I must go to see him immediately!" Alan Adkhan rushed out of the office, and Mike Mo Huaimi chased after him, scaring the cute little secretary.
The man who came to the door just now was quite handsome, these two perverts couldn't be …
The little secretary didn't dare to think about it, but if she thought about it carefully, she seemed to be a little excited!

"Hello!" Jia Yapeng looked at the two guys who were running and panting, and at the same time, their faces were flushed, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. These two people can't be that, right?
"Excuse me, are you the representative of the Rocket Game Production Company that developed Pokemon?" Alan Adham asked excitedly.
"That's right, the Pokemon were really made by you guys!" Mike Mowaimi quickly followed up.
"Yes, Pokemon was made by the Rocket Team, and the Rocket Team is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hua Xia Daqian Group. As for me!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "I am the chairman of the Daqian Group, so the Rocket Team is indeed a product of our company."
"Chairman!" Michael Mowaimi and Alan Adehan were taken aback. Although they had just heard the secretary say that it was the chairman, they only thought that the secretary had said something wrong. How could a dignified chairman come to such a small studio? Both Michael Mowaimi and Alan Adehan were very suspicious.
Until now, when Boss Jia personally said this identity, the two of them realized that it was really the chairman who came in person!
"Hello … Please sit down … There's nothing to entertain …" McMorrow said with some embarrassment. Although there were 15 people in the company, they still worked in a small garage.
All the employees in the company sat in front of a row of computers in the hall to work, and only McMorrow and Alan Adham had their own offices.
As for the others, such as the living room and so on, they didn't exist at all. In the end, the three of them could only talk in a small office, which made McMorrow feel a little ashamed.
"It's okay, I remember that Apple also started in a small garage like this!" Boss Jia said with a smile. Hearing Boss Jia's words, McMorrow and Alan Adham suddenly felt a little happy.
"Mr. Jia, I really didn't expect that Pokemon was actually created by Hua Xia. I think Pokemon is definitely the best game in the history of 90 years. This is one of the most perfect masterpieces in history. We are both your loyal fans!" McMorrow said with a face of reverence.
"You two are too modest. In fact, the main credit for the development of the game is Xiaozhi's. I just gave some ideas!" Boss Jia laughed.
"Then we don't know why Mr. Jia is here today. Why are you looking for us?" After the excitement, the two of them began to be curious about Boss Jia's purpose.
However, Boss Jia couldn't directly state his purpose because he wasn't sure if the company in front of him was the future Blizzard. So, Boss Jia smiled and said, "I've played the Lost Vikings game developed by the two of you. I think it's a very good game with a great concept. I like it very much, so I can't wait to meet the game's developer!" "That's right," Boss Jia said.
Everyone liked to hear compliments. Hearing Boss Jia, the developer of Pokemon, say so, McMorrow and Alan Adham instantly felt extremely honored and proud.
"By the way!" Boss Jia asked casually, "Are you developing new games now?"
"Yes!" McMorrow replied without hesitation, "We are developing a real-time strategy game. It's similar to Command and Conquer and Dune, but the platform is on PC, not FC or GB. These two platforms can't fit this game …"
"Real-time strategy game … PC …" Boss Jia's eyes lit up. That was half right.
"Then what's the theme of this game?" Boss Jia asked again.
"It's a fantasy game with connections to the magical world and the Middle Ages, as well as the Dungeons and Dragons series!" McMorrow touched his head, "The game is still in development. In fact, it's almost done. However, we haven't set the specific world view yet, so we can only talk about it in general!"
