Spotlight #1: A Weekend Trip Down Memory Lane with Tai Ương - The Scourge

Today, let's explore some details from the game we've recreated. Let's open the door to the past and reminisce together.

We'd love to hear your childhood stories, so feel free to share them in the comments for everyone to read! 🥰🥰

1. Honda Cub – A Symbol of an Era

The Honda Cub was first launched in 1958 intending to be a durable, fuel-efficient, and easy-to-use motorbike for everyone, from students to housewives and workers. With the slogan “The bike anyone can ride,” the Honda Cub quickly became a popular mode of transportation worldwide, including in Vietnam.

In Vietnam, especially in the 1990s, the Honda Cub was a convenient vehicle and a symbol of success and prosperity. The Cub C50 and C70 models were deeply embedded in the daily lives of millions, from carrying goods to taking kids to school. With over 100 million units sold worldwide by 2017, the Honda Cub became the best-selling motorbike of all time and earned a place in the Guinness World Records.

Though modern motorbikes now offer superior features, the Honda Cub still holds a special place in the memories of older generations. Collectors often cherish these bikes, demonstrating their importance to many enthusiasts 🥰🥰.

In Tai Ương, we've revived the iconic Honda Cub as an essential part of daily life in Vietnam, allowing players to experience a glimpse of the culture from a bygone era. Additionally, the Cub symbolizes the wealth of the protagonist's family, adding depth to the storyline. Stay tuned for more ❤️.

2. Brick Game Console – Unforgettable Childhood Memories

The Brick Game console was an iconic part of childhood for many, especially for Vietnamese kids growing up in the late '90s and early 2000s. With its simple monochrome LCD and games like Tetris, Snake, racing, and other puzzles, the Brick Game became a treasured companion. Even though it boasted "9999 in 1" on the label, most of us knew it was the same few games repeating—but it didn’t matter. The joy it brought was undeniable.

I vividly recall countless squabbles with siblings and friends over who got to play this legendary device 🤭. The friendly competitions to beat each other’s high scores, the shared laughter, and the memories of those moments still stick with me. I’m sure many of you from the '80s and '90s can relate! If you have stories of the Brick Game, feel free to share them with us in the comments 🥰🥰.

In Tai Ương, we’ve brought back the Brick Game console as a nod to that special time. It’s more than just a gaming device—it represents an era, a cherished part of childhood for many generations.

P/S: Admin’s favorite game was Tank Battle. How about you? 😆

3. Traditional Mats – A Cultural Icon

The woven mat is a longstanding traditional craft in Vietnam. For generations, mats have been an essential part of daily life, especially in rural areas. Creating a perfect mat requires many meticulous steps, from selecting the reeds, drying, and dyeing, to weaving intricate patterns. These mats not only serve as household items but also carry deep cultural value, symbolizing simplicity, resilience, and authenticity.

Today, even though modern alternatives exist, traditional mat weaving continues to thrive in famous craft villages like Phú Tân, Nga Sơn, and An Xá. These mats are not just functional but cultural artifacts, representing the spiritual values of the Vietnamese people.

In Tai Ương, traditional mats appear as part of everyday life, recreating the simple, close-knit ambiance of Vietnamese villages.

And... there's also a particularly eerie legend surrounding these mats 👻👻. Known as the "Demonic Mat of Southern Vietnam," the legend claims that when four people gamble on the mat, the mat's powers will drain their winnings. The result? Four players but only one breaks even, while the others lose. Truly terrifying, don't you think?
4. Butterfly Sewing Machine – The Soundtrack of Childhood

In the '80s and '90s, sewing machines became indispensable tools during the rise of the tailoring industry. At that time, the sewing machine was not only a means of making a living but also a symbol of diligence and financial security. Many families considered the sewing machine a valuable dowry that parents gifted to their daughters when they married, wishing them prosperity.

We hope the image of the sewing machine in Tai Ương will remind you of those days—the image of your mother sitting by the machine, and the rhythmic sound of the sewing echoing in many families’ memories.

P.S.: We’re working hard to get the game ready for you to experience as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support. ❤️

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend full of health and peace.
