Remember when you were a kid, with just a few coins in your pocket, squeezing in front of the smoky arcade cabinet.

The sound of inserting coins “clack” — and the whole world was filled with the roar of Metal Slug tanks and the screams of enemies.
No pay-to-win boosts, no microtransactions.
You died because you didn’t remember the tank’s patrol route, because your reaction was 0.2 seconds too slow, because you didn’t time your jump right.

Losing is just losing; drop another coin and try again. No one coddles you, no one guarantees a win.
That feeling… thinking back now, it’s still awesome.

Games respect you. They don’t treat you as a cash cow; they treat you as a warrior.
@Steel_HeartsNFT brings back that vibe.
It’s not about recreating pixel art; it’s about recreating that pride of “beating it with your own hands.”
It’s not about selling NFTs; it’s about finding those who still remember the arcade hall vibe.
If your first reaction to this is “MARCUS! FIO! ERI!” instead of “Wow, another IP NFT,”
then maybe we’re on the same wavelength.
