Chapter 35
Promoting video games in this world was also part of Joshua’s plans. However, Joshua’s progress with the production system was only about twenty percent done. Obviously, it was still a distant dream to create a large-scale game with the current system.
So, Joshua’s initial idea was to create some simple pixel games similar to Pong, like Super Mario, Castlevania, and the like, but Hyrlan’s arcane device gave him a new plan.
That plan was to make arcade machines.
1
Joshua’s introduction to video games, aside from the classics on the Famicom[1], was mostly through the arcade hall.

He wanted to specifically create an arcade machine that could run Hearthstone. Then, he would figure out a way to get the account and registration function to work before he put a number of them in a random bar, where purchasing more card packs would require more coins.

The price of one card pack was to be set at one gold coin.

When Joshua first came into contact with Hearthstone, he really felt like there was nothing more pleasant than having a bottle of beer before logging in for another game.
“I’m here to see the manager of the theater.”

Joshua took out the badge that the Duke of Bones gave him and flipped it between his fingers. If it was someone who did not know the origin of the badge, they would have thought that Joshua was simply playing with a coin. However, the attendant clearly recognized the emblem on the badge, and his expression turned slightly nervous.
“This way, Sir…”
The attendant immediately changed the way he addressed Joshua and led him to a secret corridor by the side of the theater.
