Can you name these games?

 

four castles of brick

A ball bouncing between them

three warlords will fall.

 

where is the chalice?

it's not in the gold castle

that would end the game.

 

rocks floating in space

a ship lost among them all

photon torpedos.

 

two creatures per world

beam them up to the big ship

fight rocks yet again.

 

video wafers

you've got to be kidding me

way too much flicker.

You got the first one!  Yes, it's Skiing.  Here's a hint about the other two:  one is made by a company that begins with A, the other is made by a company that begins with T (not necessarily in that order).

 

Hey... that's not written in Haiku! ;)

 

How about Threshold and uh... Klax? :?

and that second one could be any number of coleco wonders

like roc n rope, mr do, zaxxon, etc

 

Zaxxon is the game I was thinking of. It's the worst of their worst. At least with the other games, there was at least a chance of making a decent 2600 version.

 

(And it was hard to get any more specific using the limitations of Haiku.)

Some more:

 

Shoot, shoot, shoot, repeat

Crash land breaks monotony

It gets boring fast

 

and...

 

Over six seconds

Three hundred times in a row

Must beat my best time

 

and...

 

Highly sought after

Huge cross-platform licensing

Had a sequel, too

 

finally...

 

Long range scan, then warp

Attack with photons, phasors

Then repair at base
