I still remember that when I was in junior high school, I would save up my pocket money to go to Electronic City to buy pirated cards, dozens of them in one. Every time I open the cover of a cassette, I feel like I'm opening a blind box - I don't know which game inside can be played and which one will crash. At that time, no matter whether it was genuine or pirated, it was fun to be able to turn on the computer and play it.
Recently, I accidentally came across a game called "My Hands Are Super Fast" on a mobile game emulator, and it immediately brought my memory back to that time. The gameplay is simple and crude: various virus monsters pop up on the screen, and you have to click frantically to destroy them, and you can also change weapons and use skills. This feels very much like the microgame collection of "Made in Wario" on the GBA, but with a faster pace and more decompression.
The biggest feature of the original handheld console when playing such hand-speed games is the button feedback - when you press it with your finger, you will hear a squeak, which makes you feel at ease. Reprinted to a mobile phone touch screen, although the response is more direct, it still lacks a bit of a "click-click" mechanical feel. But the good thing is that you can have one anytime, anywhere. You can take it out and poke it a few times while waiting for the bus or waiting in line, and you can instantly travel back to the night when you were secretly playing with your handheld device under the covers.
The developer is Qingdao Feiming Interactive Entertainment, which charges 0 yuan, has no in-app purchase traps, and is a purely nostalgic mini-game. Those rough pixel games in pirated cartridges back then are now resurrected in this way, which can be regarded as another form of continuation of youth.
If you have ever passed a small game on a borrowed GBA, then this game is worth opening and trying. Can my hand speed still keep up? 😏
