Rediscovering Old-Fashioned Entertainment

Arcade machine, the game is Three Kingdoms

Recently, I have enjoyed the old-fashion entertainment. First, I played a game which was programmed in 2002. Its historical background is set in the Three Kingdoms period. Players take on the role of famous generals such as Guan-Yu, Chan-Fei and so on. Then, the computer controls an opponent to battle against them. The game is designed in a two-dimensional world, therefore, the feather could only move up and down or back and forward. Although the game was developed twenty years ago, players still could enjoy it and relax.

Next, I played a street stand ball game. I had to put coins into machine, then I had to pull a stick and make the stick launch a metal ball. The ball would fall down a certain position. If the metal ball got into the position with number, player could get several tiny cards depending on number. Finally, players could collect those tiny cards and exchanged gifts.

Those games are seldom found in daily life. Their function is replaced by smart phone or computer. I think play these old-fashioned street games is just as fun as playing computer games. I wish they would not disappear from this world.

Recently, I have been enjoying old-fashioned entertainment. First, I played a game that was programmed in 2002. Its historical background is set in the Three Kingdoms period. Players take on the role of famous generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, while the computer controls an opponent to battle against them. The game is designed in a two-dimensional world, so characters can only move up and down or back and forth. Although it was developed twenty years ago, it remains enjoyable and relaxing for players.

Next, I played a street-side ball game. To start, I inserted coins into the machine, then pulled a lever to launch a metal ball. The ball would fall into a specific position, and if it landed in a numbered slot, the player would receive a corresponding number of small collectible cards. These cards could be collected and exchanged for prizes.

Such games are rarely seen in daily life today, as they have been replaced by smartphones and computers. However, I find playing these old-fashioned street games just as fun as playing computer games. I hope they will not disappear from the world.
