Hi! Maybe y'all can help me out.

I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I'm looking for something that's easy to pick up and pla' for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.

Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik's cube for that). ADD is a bitch.

I already got:

  • Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
  • Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
  • Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
  • ... that's it

It doesn't have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.

A Final Fantasy is not really what I consider to be "pick up and play" πŸ˜… (I don't find the gameplay that fun and would focus too much on the narrative... and I donwt need another narrative driven game)

The Miyoo Mini actually has a pico-8 emulator, but I haven't tried that one out yet.

Dunno what systems are made for the device, but checking a list of included emulators in a so called "Onion" operating system, I see a few other devices being listed, so if you don't mind, here are some more:

  • For arcade: the other Metal Slug games up to 4 (have yet to play further), The King of Fighters 2002
  • For MS-DOS: MegaRace
  • For PC-98: コテ・DE・パクール
  • For NES: BΓΆbl, Micro Mages, Nix: The Paradox Relic
  • For Genesis/Mega Drive: Wonder Boy in Monster World, Tanglewood
  • For NDS: Shantae: Risky's Revenge

Avoided all plot-heavy titles, even when they may have long sections low on plot.

Also a few more since the emulators list is split in a weird way and I missed them:

  • For MSX: ηœŸγƒ»ι­”ηŽ‹γ‚΄γƒ«γƒ™γƒͺγ‚’γ‚Ήγ€€ε…ˆε–γ‚Šζ¨ͺスクロール青
  • For PICO-8: #hasicontent, Celeste Classic 1 and 2, Slipways Classic, Dusk Child

Celeste works great on it. I have the MMP as well.
