B-ob mentioned to me in an email that HaiTaku is a difficult beast. It’s either too easy or way too difficult. Gnawnborg has dealt us some toughies, but Batguy guessed his haiku from yesterday in less than a minute (it was Alley Cat). We’ve all been there man.
So B-ob said he has a bad feeling this here lil’ haitaku might also be a little on the easy side — good luck!
Paddlin’ cannon top.
Para pyramid? Play stop.
Jets bomb; helis drop.
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!

I have no idea but I totally rapped that in my head
I totally rapped it when I wrote it.
Were your knees weak at any point in time?
Any perspiration on your hands?
I like to rhyme, I like my beats funky. I’m spunky. I like my oatmeal lumpy.
Paratrooper
Argh, beaten by less than a minute! You sir have made an enemy this day. ^_-
haha I like getting my own back once in a while since mine get picked in seconds. Used to love this game. Absolute classic
I hate chiming in early, but I can’t let people coming in to the thread think it’s already guessed… because… it’s not Paratrooper. :O
Duhn duhn duh!
(ping @germinalconsequence – vengeance is yours!)
Wow, clues fit it so well!!
There’s a reason for that. 😉
I think I have it now with a bit of help from google:
Sabotage. I had no idea that Paratrooper was a clone!I’m tellin’ all of ya’ll, it’s….!My vengeance is cooled by the fact that it’s not what I thought it was either. *frownieface*
Hmmmm…..
Just to drop a different line in…. or 2
– Silkworm
– SWIV
Command and Conquer: Red Alert
I was thinking of Cannon Fodder 1 or 2 – Cannon in name and you get dropped off by Heli’s and there were pyramids. Can’t fit Jets tho.
throwing a curveball..
Worms?
Patapon
Pata pata pata pon. Pon pon pata pon.
Choplifter?
*runs in hastily* “Sorry, i was caught up with stuff ill explain tomorrow but the answer is Biker Mice from Mars!”, *Jostles out of the room and putters down the hallway laughing manically as he swaggers.*
Was wondering where the hell you were!
Ah! Commando Raid would be my (second) guess based on B-ob’s hint and the paddlin’ reference.
Metal slug or…. River raid??
For some reason this Haitaku makes me think of Pilotwings / Pilotwings 64. You know, with all those flying vehicles…
