Mike Tyson's Punchout.
2 players on 1 single controller, one guiding the joystick, one pressing the buttons. Blindfolded. LITERALLY blindfolded.
Game against a higher-ranked (I was actually rated in the 1700s before winning and recording this last match) who has a liking for long-diagonal bishop set-ups.

To be expected.
As time passes, it'll get closer to its goal and become even more attractive to people, I expect ...
Anyway, game I found interesting, as many today have been:

Dinesh D'Souza.
Can't recall ever hearing more than this guy's name before today ...
The website I frequent is not without its problems.
In this case, deciding to see if I'd gotten a sandbagger, I went on and played a sub-1600, thinking at the least if he WAS a novice, I'd simply take it easy on him. I discovered not only that my opponent WAS a sandbagger (not terribly disappointing; I like a good challenge), but that he also had an infinite clock.
THAT's hard to beat in a blitz game.
I assume this guy was trolling in fun; at the end of it, impressed by some of the moves I'd made until the very end, where I was obviously responding to the unfair time pressure, he complimented me on my skill and resigned.

There may not be a lot done today; internet here is the worst it's been in ages.
Above, a game won against a higher ranked that could not be fully recorded due to said internet issues.
Broad strokes:
Pawns to center, Knights to center, but knight safety ignored on my part, because my goal is to take out my opponent's bishop, and I'm willing to be on the losing end of yet reasonable trades to get that goal accomplished.
Having succeeded on that score, though at cost, my next goal is to open the king rook file. There's quite a bit of contention for the d1--h5 diagonal involved in doing that, but, despite being down a piece, I'm able to force my opponent to retreat. I achieve this by castling on my queenside, which, by virtual definition, brings an "extra" rook to the half of the board it's most needed on, AND gets my king to somewhere slightly safer. My goal is soon achieved, the King rook file (h-column) is as clear as I could wish, and my opponent wisely sequesters his OWN king away by castling.
From the little bit that got logged, you can see I summarily shift defense to thwart the effort of my opponent's remaining bishop. This involves a general "sectioning" of my Queenside castle that allows me to check his king and maneuver him to a place where my knight can then fork king and bishop and take out that other hated target.
Unseen, unfortunately, because of the technical difficulties, I'm eventually able to use his knight as a shield and attack with queen and knight and give another fork with my knight that enables my queen to take out his. I'm then able to coordinate attack with my queen, queen's rook, and knight to capture his King for the win.
