I still remember the time after elementary school, when I crowded with my best friends at the canteen at the school gate, drooling at the colorful cassettes in the glass cabinet. At that time, a genuine cassette cost hundreds of yuan, and our pocket money was only five yuan a week. We could only buy pirated collections with crooked covers, which often contained 20-in-1 or 50-in-1. But the moment I opened Thick Brick GBASP and watched the copycat title screen light up on the screen, I was still very excited.
The mobile game I'm going to talk about today, “I'm Going to Space,” I almost dropped my phone when I played it for the first time—isn't this the same “Heroes” that we played countless times on pirated cassettes? ! The gameplay of controlling a small rocket to fly into the sky and avoiding lightning obstacles left and right is exactly the same! 👻
What was that pirated cassette called back then? "200-in-1 Super Gift Pack", this is the third game in it. But there is a bug in the game. If you fly too high, the enemy will be stuck in the sky, or the frame will suddenly drop to the point where you can't play it. The current mobile game version is extremely smooth, and the official also gives away several sets of skins for free, such as aerospace cats and rainbow unicorns, which are much more exquisite than the pixel villains of the red and white machines when I was a child.
The most touching thing is that there is no charge for this game, and all skins can be accumulated slowly. Compared with the copycat version we played on Xiaobawang back then, if you die, you have to start over again, and there is no continue function. Now you can control the direction by swiping the screen, and you can easily fly above the clouds. Watching the character rush through the lightning, it really feels like "a childhood dream come true."
If you have also experienced the era of saving money to buy pirated cassettes, you will definitely understand how I feel now. This "I'm Going to Space" is like taking that childhood game that would crash, blur the screen, but is always full of magic, and renovated it to perfection, and then stuffed it into our current mobile phones. When I turn it on, I feel like I'm back in the summer, when the fan is whirring, the handle cord is wrapped around my leg, and I can't beat the last level no matter what. 🎮✨
