Playing video games to learn history: the revolutionary hero Guevara's game of Cuban struggle history

Most friends of the same age as QK Tiger should have seen and played the Nintendo FC red and white machine game Revolutionary Hero. When I was a child, I didn't know the story of the game because I didn't know Japanese. Later, in 2004, a famous movie "motorcycle diaries on the Eve of Revolution" described "Cut? Anecdotes of Che Guevara's past years. After studying his information, I was surprised to find that the game "Revolutionary Hero" only describes the history of the Cuban revolutionary struggle between Che Guevara and Castro.

"Revolutionary Hero" (ゲバラ) was launched by SNK on February 26th in large video games 1997 and Nintendo FC Red and White Machine 1988.

Game movie:

The Japanese game name of the revolutionary hero is "ゲバラ", which is translated from the Japanese katakana Guevara. The whole game can actually be said to be the style of the Cuban revolutionary war. Those who are interested in the Cuban revolution can take a closer look. The flow of the game is somewhat similar to the original revolutionary war. Players will manipulate Guevara and Castro, land from southern Cuba by yacht, and journey to the south will conquer them until they confront Batista, the ruler of the * * * army.

▲ This is the stage of the game, a map of the whole island of Cuba.

This game uses a 2D vertical scroll, which is very similar to another well-known game of the same type, Anger, but the rhythm of Revolutionary Hero is more lively, and the music has a sense of jungle and war. The two protagonists Guevara (1P) and Castro (2P) have no other weapons except simple machine guns and grenades, but they can get special weapons by knocking down red soldiers on the road, and occasionally there are tanks to drive.

▲ Players play Guevara and Castro, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy alone, and must also rescue the prisoners waiting for rescue.

This armored car carrying two big men is quite powerful, and it will keep throwing grenades to stop players from moving forward.

Basically, this game is not difficult. In addition to a large number of enemy troops, there are also many enemy troops at each level: tanks, armored vehicles, helicopters, locomotives, submarines, large batteries, mines and so on. So it is almost impossible to live all the way. Aside from the large-scale video game version, the version of Nintendo FC red and white machine kindly provides players with an unlimited access mechanism, so that everyone can definitely find a way to play to the end.

The end of the game is that Guevara and Castro knock down and attack Batista's palace, knock down Batista and let Cuba find peace. Of course, games belong to games. After all, it is still a little different from reality. At the end of the Cuban revolution in history, Guevara and Castro did successfully establish a new regime, but Batista was not killed, but fled to Dominica. ▲ Batista, the last big devil in the game.

▲ The final ending of the game.

▲ After running the staff subtitles, the game also mentioned that Guevara later died in Bolivia, and Castro became the Prime Minister of Cuba until his death on 20 16, 165438125.
