A lot of those games I've never heard of. How about "Revengers of Vengeance" for Sega CD? I bought that game used for its hilarious over-the-top description on the back (and the fact that the case wasn't broken...might need a spare).

#46: Armored Scrum Object

Take the "r" off the middle word, and it would sound better.

 

#44: Tech Romancer

Sounds like it takes being in love with one's machine a bit too far.

 

#30: Catechumen

Can we say...gesundheit?

I haven't looked at the list yet, but the first name that came to my mind was "Toilet Kids."

 

Now going to look at the list...

 

Edit:

 

Wild Woody... Heheehehe...

M.U.S.C.L.E. was a toy before it was a game...

Ninja Hamster - If TMNT was a bomb, it'd be on the list too.

What's wrong with Charles Barkey: Shut Up and Jam?

Bad Dudes? Nothing wrong with that title.

 

Where's the game with the cockroach? I don't remember that one being such a great "title."

 

I fully expected a Jaguar game to be #1. I guess these guys have never heard of the Jag?

Looks like they passed over the Dreamcast game Spawn - In The Demon's Hand. The last place i'll ever 'spawn' is in a demon's hand, thank you.

Come on now Spanky's Quest, Ninja Hamster, and wargasm are clearly the greatest names ever. And I don't take kindly to knocking Klonoa thems fightin words! And seriously how is Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam the third worst name ever? Yeah it's long and stupid but their are longer and more stupid names out there. Actually some of the other gundam games may top it. And how did Macross 84 do you remember love NOT make the list?

One word...

 

 

Whizz.

[jaybird3rd]

How about "Chicken Shift" or "Snacks 'n Jaxson" (very strange Sente coin-ops)?

[chrisbid]

now Mr Nutz on the other hand....

One nomination of mine that isn't on the list is...

 

CADASH!

 

Doesn't that sound like a sound effect word to you?

[guitarmas]

I don't mean to sound like a douch bag

 

 

 

.....but what about Pyst, you know the knock-off from Myst?

 

 

Ah hell, if you don't know what it is... here:

[guitarmas]

Yeah I got a douch bag for christmas last year.

[Dusk2600]

[Red 5]

Cameltry.

[NintendoDieScreaming]

"Snacks 'n Jaxson"

 

 

HA, HA, HA!!!!

 

 

 

That's the winner, clearly.

I know they were consciously trying to be funny (but then so were the developers of a lot of these badly-titled games), but I can honestly say I have never played Toe Jam & Earl because the name is just so disgusting. And it didn't even make the list!

[darklord1977]

mr driller... also,lets not forget a boy and his blob... and finally the classic..mail order monsters...

A boy and his blob. If I had control......

[Student Driver]

I thought Mail Order Monsters was creative; it might sound odd, but it fits the game. Killed Until Dead always bugged me. Good game, but the title sounds awkward.

 

The American game industry's come a long way when titles like "Guilty Gear" or "Rub Rabbits" don't seem too odd.
