Hello everyone, I am a handheld nostalgic gamer, an old gamer who has worked hard since the GBA era😄. Today I saw someone on the forum recommending "Rebirth Cell", and a lot of memories suddenly came back to me - isn't this the return of our youth when we were hiding under the covers and playing pirated cassettes with a weak flashlight?
Speaking of pirated cassettes, they are really full of "heka" feelings! I still remember that when I was in elementary school, I saved up my pocket money for a long time and went to the corner store to buy a "300-in-1" GBA cassette. It turned out that it was all the same game reskinned. "Super Mario" was changed to a different color and became "Donkey Kong". There was no concept of genuine products at that time. A pirated cassette could be played for several months. If the card slot was loose, you would have to lick the gold finger with your tongue - it's really funny and nostalgic now that I think about it😅.
At first glance, the game "Cell Reborn" has a hard-core exploration style of "survival and death". Didn't the "Castlevania, Symphony of the Night" or "Metroid" we played on pirated cassettes feel the same way? There is no archive or map, so I rely on rote learning to find hidden passages.记得有次为了躲我妈检查作业,我偷偷把GBA藏在课本底下,结果“哒哒哒”的按键声暴露了,当场被抓包,还挨了一顿揍😂。
Now I use a mobile phone emulator to play "Cell Rebirth". The picture quality is much better and the special effects are smooth, but I always feel that it lacks the touch of "rubbing the plastic shell". But to be honest, this game has great freedom in "exploring at will" - you can wander around every corner of the castle just like you did when you played pirated cassettes, and you might stumble upon a hidden room, or be killed by a minion and start over again. Isn't this the same stubbornness we had when we played "The Legend of Zelda: Shrinking Cap" and lost the save file because of a pirated cartridge and had to start over again?
The charging mode is 0 yuan, which is completely free. I must like this 👍. At that time, it cost 5 yuan to buy a pirated cassette, but now I can buy the genuine one for free without having to lick my golden fingers. I am so happy. Of course, if conditions permit, I suggest you support the developer Shanghai Huandian. After all, our generation has come all the way from piracy, so it's time to spend a little money on the genuine version, don't you think?
In short, "Cell Reborn" allowed me to find the freshness and desire for challenge that I had when I was playing pirated cassettes. There are surprises hidden in every corner of the castle, just like one or two masterpieces could always be found in those "pirated cards" back in the day. Youth has not gone far, it just changed the screen and continued to shine✨.
Okay, that's it for the newcomer report. Veterans who have played it are welcome to talk about your “pirate round” stories! 😁
