Yars’ Revenge
To hide in that rainbow
zone somewhat invincible
safe from the homing dash
a neutral gun a silent thumb
To speed up the flicker rate
watch the prismatic sequence
approach the silver-white
glow of the Adventure chalice
To nibble or shoot the brick
red barrier a stationary V
a rotating U the complex X
arm a canon end the swirl
