Haiku Tuesday: Spelunker (NES)



The Japanese have
a thing for terrible games-
they celebrate them.

Their word for them is
"kusoge," which means "shitty
games," literally.

Where I'm going with
this is that Spelunker is
a great example.

If you fall more than
four pixels or thereabout,
you die in midair.

I tried to play it
for an hour straight but I could
not stand all the pain.



I collected bombs
and what I think are tampons.
Then I hit the scotch.

The booze didn't help;
I got more and more angry.
This game's an asshole.

I lost count around
about seventy lives lost.
Fuck you Tim Martin.
