The 1970s Pocket Game Collection

Tilt the chrome bearing past the trap holes

Set her down gently in the crater

Swim the pearl past hungry jaws

Wind the ore cart down to the seam

Escape the tomb before the sand runs

Beat the lava to the summit

Low friction, high nerves

Vines, pits and one idol

Flick-fire the chrome shot at the fleet

Depth charges and sonar pings

Biplane dogfight in your pocket

Elevation is everything

Table hockey, pocket sized

Four flicks to the top corner

Penalty shootout nerves

Bat, bowl, appeal

Rally until your thumb aches

Ten pins, one steel ball

Nine holes on a hillside

Cinder track, no brakes

Miss the oil, catch the tow

Quarter mile, perfect launch

Powerboat between the buoys

The tile puzzle that ate 1975

Move the stack, never break the order

Steer with an invisible pull

Crack the peg sequence

Three drums, one nudge

Six runners, one furlong

Shake, roll, chase the score

Two flippers, endless nudge

Ask it anything
