NES Obscurity Quicky!
permalinkWell, this Data Easat Haiku-a-roo has been going swell: Parts 1 and 2 are done, and now I'm on the final four of their NES games (that I know well enough to write poetry about).
So, let's get to the data-last but not data-east, stuff I wrote this week, about...
Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum
You can push boxes,
or enter doors for sensors!
(You win with warp zones).

Heavy Barrel
Killed red dudes for keys,
unlocked a great power-up,
then I got shot dead.

Bad Dudes
Yeah, I'm bad enough
to rescue the president!
Oops, enziguri.

Wow, knife-arm werewolf!
Why's he so angry, you ask?
He can't pick stuff up.

Yeah -- 60% of the Data East NES catalog is now 100% haiku'd!
So, that wraps it up for the Data East games I'm familiar with. But one extra "bonus level" bit of trivia: Data East may be one of the few companies that decided to turn one of their early protagonists into a recurring villain (especially if you don't count all those Jump-Man/proto-Mario and Donkey Kong face/heel turns).
Anyway, if you remember one of those kooky firebreathing heroes from last week? Well, this week if you're a bad enough dude to get through the 1st level of one of THESE games,
You get to mix it up with a newly evil and potbellied Karnov!
