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.

    Pokemon Sapphire/Emerald/Ruby/Leaf Green/Fire Red were my goto especially for grinding. From sound and memorization along you can play pokemon without looking… Or at least I could.

    Zelda Oracle of Ages is another game which I found calming. Its more puzzle than combat, but there is still combat. Not goof got meeting but good for afterwards.

    The GBC Harry Potter games or Prisoner of Azkaban are fun RPGs that I played before Pokemon. A fun time too, and can almost be played under a desk (don’t ask how I know)

    Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, rogue like endless(ish) dungeon crawler. Amazing story, but the post game is just a grind perfect for fiddling as you are just doing the same thing for 99 levels… Until you find the boss. Better on DS with Blue rescue team, but red on GBA is a good choice.

    Outside of mega man battle network, the rest of my games are platformers which don’t fit the bill
