Haiku Tuesday: Ninja Gaiden (Arcade)



Ah, Ninja Gaiden.
How I wanted to love you...
but you were too hard.

Only two buttons-
one to punch and one to flip.
Blocking would be nice.



I heard it has more
than one stage, but I couldn't
tell you that first hand...

...because when you die
you get dumped back out at the
start of the damn stage.



At least you get a
freaking awesome game over
screen when you bite it.

Actually there
was a third button on the
tip of the joystick.

Wikipedia
says it's for walking tightropes.
That is asinine.

I had this for my atari lynx the game was hard as hell all i did was flip/throw enemies every where.

i also had this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.P.B._(arcade_game)
but the gas button was stuck on my lynx so it was kinda of a pain in the ass to play
