Welcome to HaiTaku — I write a Haiku about a game and you try and guess which game it is! Simple!
Yesterday was the very first HaiTaku and I was impressed. With myself. Yes, someone guessed the game correctly — well done to Stevorooni — but there were multiple different guess, which makes me think that HaiTaku might be a tougher nut to crack for everyone!
Hurray!
Anyway: next HaiTaku!
He was just a kid
In a strange, brave new world
Then he was built in
Oh man, this is so much fun! This is way better than ScribbleTaku.
This is HaiTaku. We write Haikus about old video games and leave it you to guess what game we’re talking about. If you want to submit a Haiku feel free. Sent it here!

Bastion
The ultimate fate for any Sims.
Real answer – Edit: Too late, withdrawing to avoid confusion on which is first.
@drcurlytek got this.
Alex Kidd In Miracle World
My guess too.
Without a doubt!
Brilliant. Well done @markserrels
yep, this is right. I was wondering what it meant to be built in, then I remembered Alex Kidd in Miracle World was included in the old Sega Master System.
I was never good at riddles.. bastion?
Edit: What I meant to say was Fallout.
I had a triple shot brew this morning. I’m still getting over the shakes. :/
Ico.
was the protagonist “built in” at some point during the start of the game?
EDIT: Wait he was put in a coffin wasn’t he! Technically, that’s “built in”
He was… enclosed? Contained?
I don’t know if that qualifies or not, but he was definitely a boy in a strange world.
Wasn’t alex the kid built into the the master system so you didnt need a cartridge?
Alex Kidd?
Atomic Robo Kid?
Megaman.
I’m thinking of those units that get trapped in a corner while building in RTSs, or spawn in the tiny gap between structures.
