Blue Wizard Is About To Die. The first collection of poetry about video games ever published, Blue Wizard Is About To Die takes its readers on a psychotic and hilarious tour through the arcade and console games of the Eighties (and beyond). Three poems are available on line: Mario in Exile, Joust, and Dragon's Lair.

There's a nice page of game related trivia on the site, too.

  • Personally, i always hated the talking games. "Blue wizard is about to die." your cue, of course to pump another quarter in. still know exactly what that voice sounds like.
  • "Elf needs food badly." Like many very silly things, the synopses are better than the poetry. Half-Life - A touching ode to Gordon Freeman
