Title: Worst game name?
Post by: bionicbadger on September 30, 2003, 10:16:53 am
So the other day, I'm scrolling through the roms looking for something I haven't played, and I come across a game called "Tinkle Pit" :o ??? ::) :P

Who comes up with these names?  The game actually wasn't too bad, but not what I imagined a game called "Tinkle pit" would be like.  

So what are some other stupid game names?

pop flamer always elicits a giggle out of guests when they see it on the game list.

Snackson Jackson - I am not sure if I spelled it right.  It is a track ball game - pong with a twist!  You try to eat food while keeping your nose in the air by bouncing it off your face.  This takes place in a 3 dimensional kitchen.  

Yes it is as bad as it sounds, stay away from this one.

pfft...you don't have to look to the classics for the worst videogame name ever.  Dance Dance Revolution.

Please don't make me sad anymore!

Dance Dance Revolution -- could they possibly add any more 'dance' to it?  

My vote: zzyxxyx or whatever it's called.  It has a lot of X's and Z's and whatnot.

the sequel will be named dance dance dance dance dance revolution.  I'm just kidding.  Hey, the name's not THAT bad.  Everyone who knows it just calls it DDR anyway.  Heck, the newer ones are called something along the lines of DDRMAX2 (dance dance revolution 7th mix) with the obvious emphasis on just the acronym.

No, actually I own the game and a dance pad (just the cheap official one that doesn't stay in place).  I think it's really good, though with non-retarded graphics and cooler music it could be spectacular.  The thing is, I can't get my wife or friends to play it because of the geek factor.  It's not nearly as fun as it could be if my friends would set aside their self-consciousness for a couple hours.  Even with alcohol it's nearly impossible to get anyone on it.

What is with that? it's actually zzyzzyxx and it freaks me out! I actually saw a friggin street called that! Can you believe it? It's funny as hell. On the freeway there's just a big green sign that says "zzyzzyxx Next Exit"...Doesn't that seem odd to anyone?

What does it mean!? Some kind of new age crap? Some whacked out conspiracy? I dunno. Does anyone here know what it means?  ???

Actually, the street is Zzyzx Road.  I've driven on it at least once; it's on the way to Vegas from Los Angeles.  It is the road to Zzyzx Springs.

Ahhh, you beat me to it. Anyone from Los Angeles that goes to vegas and has a little adventure in their blood will take that road just to see where it goes... (nowhere)

Hmm, i wonder if that is the SAME road I saw. I don't think so. I haven't driven to Vegas any time recently. I am thinking of somewhere else....I think. (I live in Nor Cal)

Either way, it's a strange oddity!

It sort of reminds me of the "Magic" password from Adventure (text based game). -> XYZZY. Anyone here remember that?
