Okay, so I’m giving you all one more day to guess yesterday’s HaiTaku, mainly because I think it’s within reach! No-one got it yesterday, but I think, with a little clue from Zar, you’ll get it.
So first let’s take a look at the haiku…
The Old King is dead.
Forbidden Terrain awaits,
after the old maze.
Zar posted twice yesterday with a couple of hints. His first one was…
Try and replace some words with others that mean the same thing.
And his second hint was…
This game is a very popular franchise.
Okay everyone. I believe in you. Have at it!
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. Send it here!

Yeah I’m going with this too, but I could swear it was a guess yesterday?

after the aged corn.
Nope, I still can’t get it!

Last guess, Ultima? [edit: already guessed by noobi. It was also a complete guess for me too]
