On black and white roads Through sleepy suburbs we drive Must get to the fire You sit and I stand Grab your wheel and prepare to haul The house is burning Time is running out Swing the cab over right, I will Swing the ladder left We never make it The road is always too long The flames burn forever
Looking for computers I see you under the glass Evil Asteroids Your brown box taunts me Sixty-Six variations Well worth the money? Asteroids float up Nothing like the arcade game Asteroids float down A wave of nausea Thigh stings from the pain of a Hole burnt in pocket Yet, I still play it Home is not like the arcade But it temps me so The beat transcends all Hypnotic flashing space rocks I give into it
The Hall Of Champions Choose the four to venture forth Go into the depths Hey, are you hungry? How about a few wormrounds? Mmm, taste good don't they? Can't solve a puzzle? Try stepping backwards champion Find the pressure plates Need more ninja levels Drop everything, start throwing Down the hall and up Repeat this for hours Have I made neophyte yet? Hey, I'm an expert! I see the ending Lord Chaos, teleporting! STOP TELEPORTING!!!
Gave me 4 more K Gave me a tape interface Thanks, you gave me hope Mind master mazes Find the shapes, solve the puzzles Was I a lab rat? Frogger on cassette Pummeled frogger on cartridge Back to the stone age A real RPG? Dragonstomper came very close But I could not save
Hypnotic death notes Each block wails an 8-bit tone Blinks out then silence Burrow A Hole Through Your color-banded shield Watch ball go ape-crap Difficulty B Paddle too tiny. Back to Difficulty A One last little block Yes! I cleared level two What? No Level Three?
