nosweargamer Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Scoreboard is updated.

The middle line, “a bit more of what you want”, was a line in the game’s famous “a bit more _____” commercial. Anyways, that is correct.

Obviously you don't want to be so obscure that it's near impossible to solve, but also you want to involve some thinking to it so it's not super easy. I applaud the effort of all the haiku so far and encourage everyone to enjoy the game! Also, if a haiku goes unsolved for 24 hrs, I encourage the author to add a hint for the solution. I like how @HDN gave a hint to a wrong answer. It helped me guess the right one. socrates63 and RickR 2 The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s this then? I picked a Snes game It’s Super Mario World It’s not Pilotwings Honestly, I don’t think that is “outside the scope of reasonable knowledge”. I feel like something like the game’s file size or the speedrun world record. Not something that was shown to the public on many occasions. Sure, it’s not easy to figure out, but if I revealed much other “reasonable” information it would just give it away. SMW is a very recognizable game after all. The whole point of this exercise is to solve riddles. I don’t want to make it so everyone can guess on the first try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
