The recent Douban has a hot topic “My Red and White Memories”. On a hot summer vacation, sitting on the floor in front of the TV with my little friend, holding a handle and drinking a drink while playing Super Mario, Contra, Tank Battle… It looks like antiques today. The red and white machines that have fallen behind the Internet era have also been popular all over the country. They belong to the collective memories of the 80s and 90s.
The current game is more detailed and complex than the game 20 years ago, from rules and quality to story. But sometimes complicated games play more, and I will miss the red-and-white game of mosaic style, simple man-machine battle, and single-machine system.
This summer, there is a small program that I want to share with you the joys that the red and white machines have brought us. This little program is called “The Tank Wars Pac-Man Bee 3 in 1”. If you are familiar with the red and white machine, you can see which games you can play from this name.
Open this small program and swipe the middle of the screen to choose between “Tank Wars”, “Pac Man” or “Little Bee”.
Tank Wars
“Tank Wars” is a horizontal screen game with both hands holding the phone horizontally, pretending to be operating the gamepad. The “arrow button” in the lower left corner of the screen controls the orientation and movement of the tank. The “launch button” in the lower right corner controls the launch of the bullet. Long presses can be continuously transmitted.
The middle is the main battlefield, the golden tank is its own, and the white tank is the enemy. The game is a customs system. The rule is to protect your own base camp from being attacked by enemy tanks, and to destroy all the tanks of the enemy. If the enemy is completely annihilated, it will go smoothly.
It sounds simple, but it’s not so easy to protect yourself, becauseFor only one life, once it is hit by the enemy, this level has to come back.
Pacman
In Pac-Man, you play the yellow Pac-Man. In the game, the four ghosts of red, orange, pink and blue will wander around. Pac-Man needs to avoid them. When you die, you will die. You can only come back to the heroes.
But there is a situation where Pac-Man can eat ghosts. How do you do this? As long as the peas eat the larger beans in the maze, the ghosts will become dark blue at the same time. It may be poisoned. You don’t have to hide them at this time, just eat them.
Swipe up and down anywhere on the screen to direct the Pac-Man’s walking route. When all the beans in the maze have been eaten, you can enter the next level.
Little Bee
In the “Little Bee” game, the bee array on the top is an enemy plane. The bottom of the screen is your own fighter. Press and hold it to slide left and right to adjust the position. Click on the screen to launch the bullet.
The enemy plane will project bullets at the same time as it moves. You need to avoid the enemy attack and fire a bullet to shoot it down. When all enemy planes were shot down, it was a success.
After 20 years, in today’s full of hardcore games, revisit these three simple red and white games, still feel inexplicable satisfaction and happiness, perhaps attracted by the unique charm of classic games. Perhaps because we are not only playing the game itself, but also missing the childhood that is gone forever.
