I'll just stay at home,
play Batsugun all day long.
Too snowy outside.

No need to worry.
Just come over to my house
for player's delight.

Shmups Forum the place
where a fellow lover of game
is solicited

(sure I've fucked up the syllable count in either 2 or 3, o well)

Fights pirates with a fat guy
Surprise ending comes

Dunno why this is
But it seems the best haikus
Come from PSYCHO GAMES

Sol Divide sucks ass
But in a way it's like a
Warmup for Gunspike

Hi, my name is God
I'll make the Kingdom of Fat
Sexy elephant

OMG 3D
Horizontal score-based shmup
Psikyo: Pilot Kids

pinkness surrounds me
my movements are limited
peaceful death arrives

not similation
do your best you've ever done
target for weak points

pew, pew, pew - you shoot
many bullits at bad man
you need more practice.

Approach your target
And attack! Are you ready?
Your mission starts now!

Charge and change colors
Destroy enemies for items
Damn, I missed Corn Soup

Choose three characters
Welcome to Violent City
Medal chaining time

I'm doing okay
Got ten thousand point medals
Then I lost one, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Spring should be here now
To beat the dead girl I must
Graze, bomb, graze, bomb, graze

Bullets go slower
Green gems count down to zero
Now they go too fast

Save the discomen
They bounce off of the bottom
"SOS!" they shout

Random patterns come
Shoot them and eat the bullets
Before it's too hard

Vanish state begins
A real battle looks like
Just another plane

It was some guys dream
to shoot the clothes off of girls,
it really exists!

Cho Aniki is hot,
might need my trance vibrator
and lots of mojo

In that gunbird game
the seasons change randomly,
go play mars matrix (LOL so good this is 5 syllables ;D )

dumb luck is funny,
bullet hell in your ice cream,
hey! that's dangerous

Up, Up, Left, Down, Down

I missed you, Chitta

This thread is golden... great haikus everyone.

Good soda in hand
Forum; Rob's arcade countdown
Glad that shmups exist

Yeah, I looked at all the Garfield hacks that Jeff Atwood posted, but Garfield Minus Garfield was the only one I really liked. The way it portrays Jon is just awesome.

half a billion
that is my best run so far
time to go to bed

I am so rubbish
At Garegga, I have sold
My Sega Saturn.

Promised last summer,
My Dreamcast still waits for Dux.
Has Hucast fucked us?

Thunder Force VI is
Pretty but unsubstantial.
It's soundtrack is pants.

Damn it, they turned red.

A haiku itself.

I pity the fool
Who thinks Raizing games are good
...where'd this brick come from?

Jockel · Post by **Jockel** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 3:25 pm

Played Daifukkatsu,
not a very hard game,
reached fifth stage.

Awesome Game,
just wanted to tell you that.
Try it if you can!

Playing the pancake
Getting shiny golden bars
Who knew they were chicks?

Deathsmiles Two oh god
graphics disappointing but
the fuck-pillows mine

My DS has two
but you squeezed it all on one
best Ketsui port ever

Irem says memorize
Cave thinks you should game long chain
Raizing wants you dead

I know I suck.
