The Mighty Steel Fist of Atari
The dungeon is aware and awake,
with monsters; Four heroes work
together, yet apart, as our puppets
Human masters push them: gold
Fire and magic, magic and fire
hack-n-slash!
The thrust of change,
The plunk of coins

The dungeon gives,
but not as much as it takes
Invisible and invulnerable, yet
Death still finds, hunts, kills: drains
mountain, castle, forest, and pyramid
red, blue, green, and yellow
Warrior, Valkyrie, Archer, and Wizard
Now you must know this quest:
Don’t shoot food!
I’ve not seen such bravery!
Your life force is running out…
hack-n-slash!
The thrust of change,
The plunk of coins
MCMLXXXV
