Title: Guess the PC Engine game Haiku quiz
Post by: sunteam_paul on July 18, 2011, 10:12:26 AM
See if you can guess the game from this haiku. If you win, make your own:

I look front and rear
The wheel approaches, spinning
I switch to three-way.

Side Arms or Space Fantasy Zone?
Title: Re: Guess the PC Engine game Haiku quiz
Post by: ccovell on July 18, 2011, 02:07:30 PM
Definitely Sidearms.

<smartass>
Paul, what you wrote doesn't qualify as a haiku, so it's just a normal senryu.

It was Side Arms.

I'll let BT win even though he posted two answers.

I've changed my mind - the correct answer was Sol Moonarge, so the floor is now B.T.'s.

Obsessed with the past,
I jump off into nowhere --
And freeze up mid-game.

No, you were almost there with your last one....  it'd just be unfair to criticize a perfectly-working HuCard.

Do you mean specifically, the CD version of Altered Beast?
Title: Re: Guess the PC Engine game Haiku quiz
Post by: ccovell on July 28, 2011, 03:09:15 AM
Yes, Black Tiger gets it!  (Sorry Blueraven.)   :wink:

Of course the haiku is about the game's freezing as its code jumps off into system card code that no longer exists post System Card 1.0.

Post by: Black Tiger on July 28, 2011, 06:21:37 AM
Since he guessed correctly, but didn't type out clearly enough what he was thinking off, blueraven can go again if he wants. I do have a new one ready to go if he passes though.

This should be the last hint I need to give.

Two and a half names from the game appear on the haiku. :)
