I was just walking around the home page of the forum and saw someone posting a question asking what they have been playing recently. I was thinking of recommending a "retro gadget" to you young people - "Super Fleet". Don't rush away. I know you all have Genshin Impact, King of Kings, and Chicken Game on your mobile phones now, with dozens of gigabytes at every turn. In order to install a new game on my broken phone, I backed up all the photos to the cloud disk. As a result, the cloud disk prompted me that there was insufficient space. I asked him if he wanted me to save my wife in it too? 🤦♂️
Back to the topic, I played "Super Fleet" for two days. Hey, it really feels like playing "The Age of Discovery" in the arcade. I remember that it was still in 1994. My son and I skipped class and went to the game arcade. One coin could play "Salomander" for half an hour. Later, "Age of Discovery II" came out. We faced the 14-inch small TV and used the keyboard to adjust the ship up, down, left, left, and right, and finally figured out the entire world map. Now this mobile game lists all the World War II battleships for you, such as the Bismarck, Yamato, and Enterprise. It is more comprehensive than the plastic models I collected at that time. The free combination of thousands of warships sounds much more awesome than the only three ships in the past.
What excites me the most is the "world map-level ocean hegemony". Now you may think that this is just a map that is a little too big, with several country backgrounds switched, but when we played "Red Alert", the map was as big as a palm. To build an aircraft carrier, it took half a day of research and development in the laboratory. Now, millions of fleets are directly bombarding each other, and thousands of ships are launched. I have seen that scene several times in my dreams, and I am drooling when I wake up. The battles such as the Battle of Midway and the Normandy landings were restored quite convincingly. At least they did not turn the aircraft carrier into an aircraft carrier and fly in the sky. I now give the developer a thumbs up for this honest price.
But having said that, games now cost several gigabytes at a time, and you have to wait a long time for updates. My old Android phone often prompts "Insufficient storage space, please delete old games." I deleted the nostalgic versions of "Tetris" and "Snake", but they still couldn't fit in, and they were stuck in the memory. I think back then, a floppy disk was 1.44 MB, and if I installed "Super Mario", I could also add "Contra" and "Red Fortress". Now, one game has more words than the total number of words written by all the students in my school. What about fun? To be honest, the more I play, the less excited I am. Back then, when the Eight Wine Glasses of Iori Yagami in "The King of Fighters" was first revealed, I could be happy for the entire summer vacation; now that I have an SSR battleship, I just take a screenshot and post it on Moments, and then delete it silently.
But "Super Fleet" made me feel a little bit better. It doesn't force you to spend money (although it certainly does, but you can still enjoy it for free). Legion battles and world wars are all about real hand speed and strategy. Unlike some games, you can only pay for it. I, a handicapped person, relied on the micro skills I learned in "StarCraft", and I defeated the world boss with a few newbies who had just joined. They sent me "666", and I replied "I thought my hand speed could 1v3 back then, but now I can only scratch the screen." I admit it when I am old, but my happiness is still there.
So, family members, don't stare at those hundreds of gigabytes of game libraries all day long. Come back occasionally to take a look at these “small but beautiful” gadgets. You will find that the smaller the hard drive, the more fun you have. Go up and build a legion, shout "Come on, my fleet", and then listen to the hot buzzing of your phone, and feel young again in your memories. Forget it, I am going to maintain my "Bismarck". The ship has to be in the repair shop today. Alas, like my old waist, I always call the police. 🛳️💨
