My experience with steem retrogames

Today, gaming means eye-catching graphics, 3D visuals realistic animations. But sometimes, I want immerse myself in simple but addictive gameplay old days. I got a taste of that nostalgia on the steem retrogames website. Upon entering here, I found some games that took me back to my childhood gaming moments.

While playing one these games, I had a different experience my own—simple rules, but gameplay full challenges. The objective of the game was simple: a small ball (here in the shape Steem logo) moves up and down and sideways on the screen, and you have catch it with a small paddle so that the ball doesn't fall down. While it sounds simple, I realized while playing that it is actually a test patience, hand-eye coordination, and quick reflexes.

Gameplay and Challenges

As soon as the game starts, your score starts increase as you catch and return the ball repeatedly. Everything is under control for first few seconds. A moment carelessness and a “Game Over” message would appear. My first attempt scored only 320, but after a few more plays, I reached 580 points—which was quite satisfying for me.

The fun game is that there are no complicated rules here. There are no cumbersome controls, no long tutorials. You just have use your finger or mouse to move the paddle, and try not to drop the ball. But the longer you play, the more you will feel like Let's try again, this time I will score better!

Visuals and Sound

The game design is very minimal. The background is a plain brown color, the Steem logo appears occasionally, and the score counter is always visible at the top. Although the graphics are not as flashy as in modern games, that's the real beauty—absolutely classic arcade style.

In terms sound, it is also very simple. When the ball hits the paddle, there is a small ping sound, which tells you that you were able react in time. And when you miss, the word Game Over seems pierce your mind. Let's play again!

Token System

One thing I noticed is that there are Buy a Token and Free Play options. You can play for free in Free Play mode, but you may be able purchase tokens to unlock special features bonuses. I played in Free Play, and I had a lot fun with it. However, for those who want play regularly take on a bigger challenge, the token system may be a better option.
