Pikmin
When tossing little Pikmin
You must show great restraint
For if you do not throw with care
They’ll do much more than faint!
Cute death and quaint destruction
As corpses fill your wake
But gather pieces carefully
Or stranded is your fate!
The little plant-folk’s violence
Charms rather than disturbs
I recommend this game to all;
It really is superb.
BIT.TRIP BEAT
Color, music, flash
Reflect the beat TO the beat
Tone: Neo Retro
Simple? Yes, but while complex
Play the music – play it now!
Laser Blast
Left, right, over fields
Cannons tilt toward evening sky
BLAST THEM! Fun, indeed.
Dig Dug
Plow and till the earth
Pump underground critters (POP)
Moderately fun.
Star Raiders
Star Raiders holds a special place
Within my memory;
No cartridge came before it when
I played my Atari.
In seventy-nine, generally,
First person views were rare,
But flying out in 3D space
Shows much programming care.
Just blasting Zylon ships will still
Put smiles upon my brow,
So find yourself a copy – BUT
Avoid the garbage scow!
