Chapter 597 Exploring The Inner World (3)(Chapter Preview)

In the 70th of the 20th century, a toy company called LJN was established on the ground of united state. The inspiration of its name came from one of the its biggest shareholders Lewis J Norman. Initially LJN was mainly focused on producing toys but... in the years 1985, at the height of the incident of Atari's ET (the impact this game had on the entire north American household gaming industry was immense. There were still many urban legends related to this that exist today)... MCA gaming company that was popular at the time used sixty million dollars to purchase LJN company and nudged onto the no-return path of game design...

And from there, a legend within the gaming world began.

In United States, LJN soon won the name of the machine of 'poorly made games'. The video game publisher was notorious for its poorly made licensed video games. They depended on rushed production, prolific glitches by producing games that would capitalize on the relative popularity of movies or other intellectual properties in non-gaming media, while often failing to provide any noticeable reflection of said IP. Terminator, Nightmare at Elm Street, Back to the Future, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure... Various horrible games that maddened players enough to smash their joystick went into the world and stomped the gaming passion of kids in that generation and left horrible scars on them.

In 1990, the company was bought by Acclaim Entertainment, and LJN was folded into Acclaim in 1995. It closed down its toy making part and focused on game publishing. Of course, its style did not change because of this, it was still the same company...

The year was the year of Nintendo Entertainment System. LJN used the name of a legal company and outsource many non-gaming license to some unknown and strange third party studio to turn them into games. They ignored the most basic gaming standard and user experience and watermarked these creations of their with uneven standard (most of them horrible) with their small rainbow logo (The logo of LJN was a six-colored rainbow) and spread them around the world...

AVGN refers to the company's logo as the "Shit Rainbow".

"Hmph... that is what I hate about you." Root scoffed. "keep saying these conceited words with such expressionless tone."

"I am just telling the truth." Ad answered.

"Yes." ROOT added, "That is why it is so annoying."

"Hmm... I realize that since the failure of the last movement..." Ad continued, "You have become more and more abnormal."

"You should take a look of yourself first. With your current state, slime... you still have the right to call others abnormal?" ROOT said with sarcasm. Naturally she had her reason to say something like that. The current Ad looked normal at least physical wise; 180 cm plus height, average build and a normal black outfit... but his had was like a liquid crystal ball floating in the air and it was wiggling slowly above his neck.

"I merely run into a bottleneck during the next stage of self program upgrade." Ad used his slimy head (there was facial organ, the voice came directly from inside the neck) to explain, "I have to maintain this status before the breakthrough."

"This is not a bottleneck, this is merely a 'neck'..." ROOT continued to mock.

"Erm..." Ad did not know how to answer, he was not familiar with these human jabs, so he changed the subject, "By the way, since Link was here before me, where is he now?"

"News came from π Maze earlier, the scouting team that Link sent out a month ago finally located SCP-0790 and had apprehended it." ROOT answered.

When Ad heard that, he was obviously startled. Several seconds later, he said darkly, "Then I need to hurry over there immediately too..."

Seeing his reaction, ROOT's expression shifted. "You guys seem to be very cautious of that thing...."

"SCP-079 is the key existence that is the anti-thesis to our 'system'." Ad said as he moved towards the desktop. "Other than that..." He paused and said in a serious tone, "He is not a thing
