Ultimaiku

I've decided it would be amusing to write haiku for each day playing each game, describing my accomplishments, or lack thereof. Here's some for the early games:


Akalabeth:
British is stingy
The thieves steal out of my hands!
Then I starve to death
...
Amulets are key
Lizard man kills everything
Gremlins? Still tough


Ultima:
Dungeons give hit points
Stealing from shops gives weapons
All that's left is quests
...
Signposts and monsters
And lonely jailed princesses
Can all raise my stats
...
I am a space ace
Now the princess likes me more
(Mondain likes me less)


Ultima II:
British: Still stingy
The ride-thru guy hates me now
My boat slaughters all
...
While exploring space
A mass of jesters killed me
But I got the ring
...
DIE FOOL she tells me,
Mondain-with-two-less-pixels...
ALL HER WORKS SHALL DIE!


Escape from Mt. Drash:
The gremlins: so cute!
The mazes: pretty easy
The game: just awful


UW, two days worth, tomorrow. Due to haiku, my thoughts are short. Sleep time.
