A desktop game about trying to break a Nokia 3310
A browser game where you try to break a Nokia 3310 on a Windows XP desktop.
Problem it solvesBreaking a stubborn virtual phone sounds simple but keeps fighting back.
aeshieru (@aeshieru) made a game where players try to break a drawn Nokia 3310 on a Windows XP desktop. The post says it just launched and that an anonymous tally tracks how far people get.

Break a Nokia 3310: your only job is to break it. You get Windows XP, a Minesweeper mine, and ILOVEYOU GAME LINK: [https://fundrstudio.com/games/](https://fundrstudio.com/games/) I made this. Our last game, The Layoff, hands you a team of eight and a budget cut. 24 managers have hit the number so far, and 13 of them changed their list after Legal flagged it. So this one is dumber??? It's a Nokia 3310 lying on a Windows XP desktop, and you have everything on the computer. Your only job is to break it. The phone fights back: \- the Recycle Bin can't delete it: "It is being used by another person or program." \- End Process on nokia3310.exe gets "Access is denied." and does 2 damage \- ILOVEYOU is the real one, LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs, and every picture on the desktop becomes a script \- the same thing twice does 70% of what it did last time, so there are 16 of them \- below 65% it dodges about half of what you throw at it, and sometimes refuses to be thrown \- it plugs itself in and charges back up while you watch \- at 50% Windows blue-screens with the stop code NOKIA\_3310\_STILL\_WORKING Then it gets a turn. That part I'll let you find. At the end you get one of 15 titles (Untouched? Carried by a Paperclip? Never Picked Up?) and a report on what actually ends a 3310, which isn't anything you did. Heads up: \- None of it touches your computer. The viruses are drawings; nothing downloads and nothing runs. \- Not affiliated with Nokia or HMD. The phone is drawn without its name on it, and it never plays the ringtone. \- No signup. The only thing sent anywhere is an anonymous tally of how far people get. \- It works on a phone: the handset's own keypad is the controller. On a keyboard it's WASD, J, Space and K. \- It just launched, so I don't have real play times yet. The desktop half takes a couple of minutes; the rest depends on you. Challenge: post your title and time. Speed Dial means finishing it on the desktop, before it gets its turn, in under 75 seconds. It can be done.
