Raiu Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 (edited) I thought this bloke was writing in his second language till i looked at the carts... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...8209553315&rd=1 903402[/snapback] Wow. Interestingly enough, 2 of the 3 that have the proper name on the carts he misspelled in the description (Riddle of the Sphimx and Warlocks), but he spelled all the misspellings correctly! 903558[/snapback] I can understand "Riddle of the Sphimx" to some extent - that Imagic font does make the N look like an M, and with those other badly-misspelled carts he has no reason to assume that "Sphinx" is the word they're going for. I don't understand "Warlocks" at all. DWARF 27 turtle games Most of the original list of games I recognize, but not these. What are the originals? -DS- Edited August 3, 2005 by Raiu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 DWARF was GORF, and 27 turtle games was either Target Fun or Tank-Plus, I forget which -- i.e. 27 Tele-Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorites are Barzerk (maybe an alternate title for Tapper?) and Brainstorming. I also never realized how hard it is for some people to spell a simple word like "Space". Wasn't BUMP 'N GRIND a Mystique title? The seller listed it as M-Network. How about "burber time", is that a game about carpet-munchers? Edited September 2, 2008 by A.J.

moycon Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hmmm This isn't all that humorous, but I did pick up a Q*Bert Qubes from a lot off ebay years ago very cheap I'm assuming because guy listed it as Qbert Cubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) ADVENTURES OF TRANThat's the Vietnamese version. Hmm, SPACE HOCKEY. Someone could actually come up with a real game from that name.

MoonlightKnight Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 You may want to add the recently spied "Steroids"... I think it's a game about Hans and Franz from SNL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinball22 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 It's been a long time since I posted any of these, so I thought I'd add some recent finds. My comments in brackets, everything else is really exactly what they typed. blackjack/porker Star Radius PLANET CONTROL ON ICE [which was really Oink!] gangsterally [which I think must be an adverb] tomatoes (beestick) Clipper cmd SWORDUST CIRCUS STARS ku fu master razor blast [Ow!] Phonnix [Obviously it didn't help them learn to read] COSMIC PARK Berzerker [A game about Norse warriors, I guess] Grandprik [Made by Mystique, I'm sure] Demon Attach [something that you do by opening a socket, maybe?] Freewar Warloads TITLE MATCH PRON WRESTLING [Made by Mystique's 1337 division] PHONENIX Mongul Maniac [starring Genghis Khan] KNIGHT DRIVER Video Paintball bumr 'n ' jumr Berjerk video chest cosnik arm And not a game title, so it's not a reading problem, just a spelling problem: "It comes with two joicestix" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tisaperfectdayelise Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I was actually making a deal in the marketplace, and clearly added a 'g' to Skatboardin'.....does that count? (and probably effed up Koolaide Man as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever find a VCS cart that really has a misspelled title on the end label, please let me know. I'm always interested in adding unknown pirate titles to our database.

IHATETHEBEARS Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hmmm This isn't all that humorous, but I did pick up a Q*Bert Qubes from a lot off ebay years ago very cheap I'm assuming because guy listed it as Qbert Cubes. There was another Q*Bert's Cubes on Ebay a few weeks ago. People must have figured it out though. Several people were bidding on it. I think it went for around $80.00.

Godzilla Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 That is hilarious stuff. fapper and bejerk are classic. I wonder how much of those was the result of automated spell checkers trying to make sense of things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roland p Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Dessert Falcon, Bejerk, Mouse strap, Slutracing someone should make those games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Actually all those games you guys listed above exist in reality. They are ultra-rare and mostly from some obscure Taiwanese origin (not sure if the spelling errors are intentional to avoid local copyright laws). Anyway, you should have bought them and be rich by now, instead of making a stupid list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwlssknght Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I can't stop laughing! I have to say, "TITANKHAM" is one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Been a while since I've updated this, and I've found plenty more. As always, my comments in [], everything else is really what the sellers typed. Bump 'N' Trump Zazzon Years’ Revenge [What you feel when you get older] Centripede [involves a lot of centripetal force, I guess] Present Falcon cosnik arm MARIO BRAS Shy Jinks Pieces of cake dodge them [Over-correcting a little, I guess] Ratchet Tennis [That's the NES game Racket Attack] SKY SHIPPER [Maybe it's a game about UPS Next Day Air] Doge em Fiver Raid Space Pank Roon Rope Commet BrazeFun [i have no idea how they got this... the game was Berzerk] Vars Revenge [When your log directories get angry] Poll Position II [A game about being the runner-up in an election, I guess] Xemous MageMania Three from the same seller: RIDDLE OF THE SPHINKINX [it's like he realized he was spelling it wrong, but couldn't be bothered to backspace] SUPER MOM HOCKEY [i don't see how Ice Hockey could be read this way, but somehow they did] WAR BARD SS [i don't have any idea what this was supposed to be... I couldn't see all the games well enough to know what everything was, but I didn't see anything that made me think that's what it might have been. Warlords, which was my guess, was already on the list.] Then there's the seller who apparently can't read company names... they had games by: DADAAEE BARKER BROTHERS And, saving the best for last: Donkey Dong Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
