Play Fan Kong Jing Ying (China) (Unl) Online

Ever played one of those old-school NES shooters where you just hold down the fire button and pray? Fan Kong Jing Ying (or "Anti-Aircraft Heroes" if you're not feeling fancy) is exactly that—but with a twist. You're blasting waves of enemy planes over what I swear looks like the Great Wall, dodging bullets that come at you like angry bees. The music’s this relentless chiptune march that somehow makes you feel heroic even when you’re about to explode.

It’s brutally hard—like, "throw your controller at the couch" hard—but in that way where you keep muttering "okay, one more try" at 2 AM. The controls are weirdly precise for an NES game, though. Your little plane actually feels weighty, like you’re wrestling it through turns instead of just floating around. And those enemy formations? They don’t mess around. You’ll start recognizing patterns after a few deaths, which almost makes it worse when you still crash into the same dumb bomber for the tenth time.

If you’ve got a soft spot for games that hate you just the right amount, this one’s a blast from the past worth digging up.
