作者：Duke_Ferris

从Dick Butkus（美国前足球运动员）到Hootie and the Blowfish（组建于1986年的一支美国乐队）再到Lake Titicaca（位于安第斯山脉的一条湖），我们每天都在面对着一些糟糕的名字。而由于隐居的书呆子，古怪的艺术家以及不敢时髦的市场营销执行者不可避免的碰撞整合，电子游戏产业也诞生了一些非常糟糕的名字。

以下列表是我们经过激烈讨论所得出来的。在这个艰难的过程中，我们决定设置一些基本规则：

所有游戏都是面向受欢迎的平台进行合法的广泛发行。

我们尝试着避免创造具有大量英文的游戏。因为很容易出现翻译问题。

避免教育游戏和色情游戏。

我们也要指出这一列表绝不代表游戏本身的质量，仅仅只是关于其名字的质量。

让我们开始吧。

50.《Frogger: Helmet Chaos》

平台：DS，PSP

发行商：Konami

发行年份：2005年

如果说有哪款游戏随便使用名词进行命名，那么这款游戏便是其中之一。

49.《Zeitgeist》

平台：PlayStation，PC

发行商：Taito

发行年份：1998年

并未传达出像关于人类辩证进程时代的德国哲学术语或世界的“乐趣”。我甚至好奇它到底有没有名字！

48.《Twin Eagle: Revenge Joe’s Brother》

平台：Arcade

发行商：Taito

发行年份：1988年

将一架直升飞机命名为Revenge Joe就足够糟糕了，更糟糕的是你还宣称它有一个兄弟。当你想到这是第一款《Twin Eagle》游戏时这种糟糕更是双倍。到底是要报复什么呢？

47.《Jumpman》

平台：苹果II，Commodore 64，PC

发行商：Epyx

发行年份：1983年

让我们看看，这里应该有个人，然后他跳了下来，就这样？

46.《ASO:Armored Scrum Object》

平台：Arcade

发行商：SNK

发行年份：1986年

为什么他们要以某种形式的未来派橄榄球去给一款乏味的垂直射击游戏命名？

45.《Wild Woody》

平台：Sega CD

发行商：Sega

发行年份：1995年

“Wild Woody”也是这款游戏的明星，即抛出弹药的亮黄色2号铅笔。欢迎来到吉祥物的墓地。

44.《Tech Romancer》

平台：Dreamcast

发行商：Capcom

发行年份：2000年

这个愚蠢的Don Juan利用其顺畅的行动，吸引人的头发以及改装的Palm Pilot而得到了所有女性。

43.《Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom》

平台：NES

发行商：Hudson Soft

发行年份：1990年

我们会直接略过沙拉这道菜，因为这道以蔬菜为主题的冒险游戏一丁点肉末都没有。另一方面，你将在番茄上方看到西瓜。

42.《Beyond the Beyond》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：索尼

发行年份：1999年

索尼离他们最新开发的RPG仅有一步之遥。

41.《Silhouette Mirage：Reprogrammed Hope》

平台：PlayStation，Saturn

发行商：Working Designs

发行年份：1999年

我们也喜欢随机单词生成器！选择堵塞的物质资源！想想风录音机的破坏！

40.《Um Jammer Lammy》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：索尼

发行年份：1999年

作为《Parappa the Rapper》的续集这款游戏是基于一个让人困惑的前提—-你是一个在玩吉他的迷途羔羊，但却因为不合适的名字而变得可笑。

39.《PenPen TriIcelon》

平台：Dreamcast

发行商：Infogrames

发行年份：1999年

你是一只在TriIcelon中奔跑的企鹅，这就像是铁人三项一样，但更冷。不管你信不信，我们重新评估了这款游戏的名字但却仍然不知道它是关于什么。

38.《Spanky’s Quest》

平台：SNES

发行商：Natsume

发行年份：1992年

看，Spanky是只猴子。Spanky是只猴子。Spanky是只猴子。谢谢，你太捧场了！

37.《Cacoma Knight in Bizyland》

平台：SNES

发行商：SETA U.S.A.

发行年份：1993年

听起来像是一款冒险RPG。但在这一防卫战中唯一在行动的只有你。

36.《M.U.S.C.L.E》

平台：NES

发行商：Bandai

发行年份：1986年

电子游戏塞满了不适合的首字母缩写，但Mattel和Bandai之前的格斗游戏《Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere》却在提交时取得了成功。

35.《Sticky Balls》

平台：Gizmondo

发行商：Gizmondo Games

发行年份：2005年

该平台也许是倾向于黑手党故事，但游戏却非常真实。

34.《70’s Robot Anime Geppy-X：The Super Boosted Armor 》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Aroma

发行年份：1999年

关于这款游戏我们撒了个小谎，因为它是只在日本发行的横向卷轴机器人射击游戏，但因为带有这样的名字，它也必须出现在这一列表上。

33.《Punky Skunk》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Jaleco

发行年份：1998年

显然这一游戏命名非常轻松。他是个讨厌鬼，他很极端，他喜欢《The Misfits》，所以人们这么叫他。

32.《Klonoa：Door to Phantomile》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Namco

发行年份：1997年

这是因为你已经抓住Klonoa，但别担心，一枪青霉素将能清除一切。

31.《Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino’s Butt!》

平台：Sega Genesis

发行商：Tengen

发行年份：1994年

有趣的事实是：这是第一款真正使用数字化声音的游戏之一。不有趣的事实是：这里有一个对话片段：Awesome Possum：“我很了不起！”

Machino博士：“你并没有多了不起！”

30.《Catechumen》

平台：PC

发行商：N’Lightning

发行年份：1997年

catechuman是一个为了接受洗礼在基督教中接受了指示的人，为这款第一人称射击游戏创造的理念与它那很难发音的名字一样糟糕。

29.《World Soccer Winning Eleven 5: Final Evolution》

平台：PS2

发行商：Konami

发行年份：2002年

1颗球，2个数字，7个单词，15个音节。就将其称为“soccer”有多难？

28.《Panic Restaurant》

平台：NES

发行商：Taito

发行年份：1992年

“服务员，我的汤里有只苍蝇。”

“啊啊啊啊啊！！！该死的苍蝇？！不！！！为什么！有没有东西被损坏！快！打电话叫警察！不！！！！！”

27.《Ninja Hamster》

平台：Commodore 64，Amstrad CPC

发行商：CRL

发行年份：1987年

让乌龟变成忍者而仓鼠仍是仓鼠。这是我吗，留着希特勒那样的胡子的啮齿动物在做着胜利的姿势？

26.《Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls》

平台：N64

发行商：Acclaim

发行年份：1998年

Iggy出现在这款具有错误拼写的奇怪赛车游戏中。我们很高兴他并不是“受难的”那颗球，因为这听起来很痛苦。

25.《Booby Kids》

平台：NES

发行商：Nihon Busson

发行年份：1987年

尽管日本人一直沉迷于女士短裤，但是在这款自上而下的行动游戏中他们转换了话题。这是否该添加“Tits for Tots”作为副标题。

24.《Yo！Noid》

平台：NES，Arcade

发行商：Capcom

发行年份：1990年

许多公司已经将电子游戏当成是一种露骨的广告渠道。但却没有一款游戏的名字像这款游戏这样愚蠢。

23.《Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf》

平台：NES，Arcade

发行商：SNK

发行年份：1988年

没有哪种体育运动会像高尔夫球那样推动竞争。等等—-它并不是这样，在《Fighting Golf》中并没有任何竞争元素，只有高尔夫球。为什么会这样？

22.《Astro Fang：Super Machine》

平台：NES

发行商：A Wave

发行年份：1989年

这是一款赛车游戏，这是一个开罐器，它去除了顽固的污点并像魔法一般融化了那些额外的重击！但等等，这里还有更多污点！不，并没有！

21.《Divine Divinity》

平台：PC

发行商：CDV

发行年份：2002年

将“上帝情节”带到迟钝的新高度，这款RPG的名字真的是在亵渎神灵。

20.《Eggs of Steel: Charlie’s Eggcellent Adventure》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Atlus

发行年份：1998年

另外一款来自Over-Pun档案的游戏。我们知道太多鸡蛋对你来说是不利的。

19.《Barkley: Shut Up And Jam!》

平台：Genesis

发行商：Accolade

发行年份：1993年

一部分命令，一部分建议。我们继续等待Kenny Smith在TNT广播期间朝着语无伦次的Charles先生发出尖叫。

18.《Tongue of the Fatman》

平台：PC

发行商：Activision

发行年份：1989年

从未有过从fatman身上获得一个小舌头的内容，而这正是这款奇怪且让人恶心的打斗游戏索要传达的。至少游戏中并没有John Madden。

17.《Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Atlus

发行年份：1997年

与食人魔合作是任何人为这款回合制策略游戏想名字的主要问题。或者他们都着魔了。

16.《Rosco McQueen – Firefighter Extreme》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Psygnosis

发行年份：1997年

在其最火的电子游戏中，Rosco是个大人物。但是当他掏出软管时，你将深受想要与之一起游戏的煎熬。

15.《Tobal No.1》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Squaresoft

发行年份：1996年

特别是在这个例子中，因为在日本以外的地方从未有人看过另外一款《Tobal》游戏。也许他们应该从George Lucas身上寻找线索。

14.《Wargasm》

平台：PC

发行商：Infogrames

发行年份：1998年

你是否喜欢在早上闻到汽油的味道？真的喜欢它吗？那就去做这款残暴的策略游戏背后受刺激的傻子吧！

13.《GOLF Magazine Presents 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples》

平台：Sega 32X

发行商：Sega

发行年份：1994年

暂住证？检查看看。有借个Holes？检查看看。Holes的质量。检查看看。赞成签注？检查看看。我们的注意广度？取出之前的三个holes。

12.《XEXYZ》

平台：NES

发行商：Hudson Soft

发行年份：1989年

这款横向卷轴射击游戏是发生在一起核武器大屠杀后。幸存者必须突变出第二个舌头，因为他们将新的国家命名为XEXYZ。

11.《No One Can Stop Mr. Domino!》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Acclaim

发行年份：1998年

Artdink已经创造了许多古怪的游戏，但这是他们最具有威胁性的游戏。Domino知道你在哪里，混蛋！

10.《Totally Rad》

平台：NES

发行商：Jaleco

发行年份：1991年

在这一平台游戏中，常见的加利福尼亚花花公子Jake获得了魔力能够去拯救非凡的婴儿Allison。最后的教训是：永远不要让市场营销部门为游戏命名。

9.《James Pond II: Codename RoboCod》

平台：Genesis，Game Boy Advance

发行商：艺电

发行年份：1991年

为了获得恭维而钓鱼？搜寻鳎目鱼？你仍然是一个普通群众！

8.《Psybadek》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Psygnosis

发行年份：1998年

“Psydeck”并没有什么问题，但他们却因为添加了一个“ba”而将其搞砸了。

7.《Nuts & Milk》

平台：NES

发行商：Hudson Soft

发行年份：1984年

你在我的牛奶里加了你的坚果了！你把你的牛奶倒在我的坚果里了！就是这样的情况！

6.《Huygen’s Disclosure》

平台：PC

发行商：Microforum

发行年份：1999年

剧情透露：一个推进波前的每个点实际上就是一个全新干扰的中心和新一波的来源；作为整体而言推进波也许会被当成是素有源自媒介中的点的次波。

5.《Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja》

平台：Arcade，NES，苹果II，PC，Amiga

发行商：Data East

发行年份：1988年

如果你担心这些花花公子变成Dragon Ninja，请不要担心。从正面来看他们是坏的。不行他们的名字那样，从反面来看也是坏的。

4.《Pesterminator: The Western Exterminator》

平台：NES

发行商：Color Dreams

发行年份：1990年

这一蹩脚的横向卷轴游戏是基于Kernel Kleanup，现实的Western Exterminator Company的吉祥物。它们被这一糟糕的命名给毁了。

3.《Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam》

平台：PlayStation 2

发行商 Namco

发行年份：2005年

高达是个巨大的机器人，在这款游戏中有许多高达在战斗。在这个名字中也表现出了许多高达在战斗。

2.《If It Moves, Shoot It!》

平台：PC

发行商：Broderbund

发行年份：1989年

不要让你的名字兼作无数其它游戏的说明。

1.《Irritating Stick》

平台：PlayStation

发行商：Jaleco

发行年份：1999年

在你购买游戏前它便通过名字告诉你这是刺激的，而这么做是不合理的。就像我们在五年前买了一款游戏便从未打开过它，只因为它是刺激的。

The 50 Worst Game Names Ever

by Duke_Ferris

From Dick Butkus to Hootie and the Blowfish to Lake Titicaca, bad names have been with us forever. But thanks to the inevitable collision of reclusive nerds, bizarre artists and painfully unhip marketing execs, the video game industry enjoys some of the worst names of all.

The following list was compiled after hours of lively debate, pages of exhausting science and one actual geek fistfight. During this laborious process, we decided to set up a few basic rules:

All games must have been wide releases for legitimate, popular platforms.

We tried to avoid games heavy on the Engrish. Translation errors are just too easy.

So are educational games and porn.

We should also point out that this list in no way indicates the quality of the game itself, merely the quality of its awful title. And we know that some of you will claim that you once played a game in a Korean arcade called “Diarrhea Coughdrop” or something and that it deserves a spot on the list. Cool. Go make one.

After all, Wii did. Let the names begin!

50.Frogger: Helmet Chaos

We must bring order to the helmets!

Platform : DS, PSP

Publisher : Konami

Year : 2005

If ever there was a title that came straight out of the random grab-bag-o-nouns, it’s this one. Pretty much lost me after “Frogger.”

49.Zeitgeist

David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel.

Platform : Playstation, PC

Publisher : Taito

Year : 1998

Man, nothing says “fun” like a German philosophical term for an era in the dialectical progression of a people or the world at large. I wonder if it has tits!

48.Twin Eagle: Revenge Joe’s Brother

No, Joe.

Platform : Arcade

Publisher : Taito

Year : 1988

It’s bad enough to name a helicopter Revenge Joe, but it’s even worse when you claim it has a brother. And it’s doubly worse when you consider that this is actually the first Twin Eagle game. Revenge for what?

47.Jumpman

A super-power it ain’t.

Platform : Apple II, Commodore 64, PC

Publisher : Epyx

Year : 1983

From the Totally Out of Ideas department comes Jumpman. Let’s see…there’s a man, and he jumps…

46.ASO: Armored Scrum Object

FYI: Unnecessary Abbreviation

Platform : Arcade

Publisher : SNK

Year : 1986

Why would they name a bland vertical shooter after some sort of futuristic Rugby ball? To make our list, of course.

45.Wild Woody

I just figured out my porn star name.

Platform : Sega CD

Publisher : Sega

Year : 1995

Wild Woody was also the the star of this game, a bright yellow No. 2 pencil that threw sticks of dynamite. Welcome to the mascot graveyard.

44.Tech Romancer

Your eyes are like deep pools of Dihydrogen Monoxide.

Platform : Dreamcast

Publisher : Capcom

Year : 2000

This dorky Don Juan gets all the ladies with his smooth moves, great hair and modded Palm Pilot.

43.Princess Tomato in Salad Kingdom

Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.

Platform : NES

Publisher : Hudson Soft

Year : 1990

And then pretty much just skip the salad course, because this vegetable-themed adventure game had no meat. On the other hand, you gotta see the melons on that tomato.

42.Beyond the Beyond

Way past the far out.

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Sony

Year : 1999

Sony goes one step beyond in their top-shelf RPG. Beyond what, you ask? Don’t ask. Really.

41.Silhouette Mirage: Reprogrammed Hope

Palette timid waffle.

Platform : Playstation, Saturn

Publisher : Working Designs

Year : 1999

We love the random word generator, too! Opted congestion substances source! Think wind recorder disrupt!

40.Um Jammer Lammy

While my guitar gently screams WTF.

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Sony

Year : 1999

This sequel to Parappa the Rapper took a confusing premise – you’re a psychedelic lamb who plays guitar – and turned it absurd with this awkward title.

39.PenPen TriIcelon

Attack of the lion-penguin-monkeys.

Platform : Dreamcast

Publisher : Infogrames

Year : 1999

You’re a mutant penguin racing in the TriIcelon, which is just like a Triathlon, but colder. Believe it or not, we reviewed this one and STILL have no idea what the hell it’s about.

38.Spanky’s Quest

To save Alfalfa?

Platform : SNES

Publisher : Natsume

Year : 1992

See, Spanky is a monkey. Spanky the monkey. SPANK THE MONKEY. Hey thanks, you’re a great crowd!

37.Cacoma Knight in Bizyland

Mind your bizness.

Platform : SNES

Publisher : SETA U.S.A.

Year : 1993

Sounds like an adventurous RPG, but the only thing getting bizy in this Qix ripoff is you.

36.M.U.S.C.L.E.

B.A.D. A.C.R.O.N.Y.M.

Platform : NES

Publisher : Bandai

Year : 1986

Video games are chock full of bad acronyms, but Mattel and Bandai’s old wrestling game – Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere – wins by submission.

35.Sticky Balls

Pass the vaseline.

Platform : Gizmondo

Publisher : Gizmondo Games

Year : 2005

The platform might have been a front for a mafia scam, but the games were real. Real filthy, that is.

34.70′s Robot Anime Geppy-X:

The Super Boosted Armor

Wow.

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Aroma

Year : 1999

We cheated a little on this one, since this side-scrolling robot shooter was a Japanese-only release, but with a title like that, it just had to be on the list.

33.Punky Skunk

God save the queen.

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Jaleco

Year : 1998

Talk about low effort game naming. He’s a skunk, he’s extreme, and he loves The Misfits…so…hmmm…what to call him…

32.Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

Doctor, it hurts when I pee…

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Namco

Year : 1997

That’s because you’ve caught Klonoa, Jimmy, but don’t worry, a shot of penicillin will clear that right up.

31.Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino’s Butt!

He does. Right in the butt.

Platform : Sega Genesis

Publisher : Tengen

Year : 1994

Fun fact: This is one of the first games to actually use digitized voice. Not so fun fact: Here’s a dialogue snippet: Awesome Possum: “I’m awesome!”

Dr. Machino: “You’re not so awesome!”

30.Catechumen

Even Jesus can’t save it.

Platform : PC

Publisher : N’Lightning

Year : 1997

A catechuman is a person receiving instruction in the Christian religion in order to be baptized, making the concept for this first-person shooter nearly as bad as its nigh unpronounceable name.

29.World Soccer Winning Eleven 5: Final Evolution

The future is long-winded.

Platform : PS2

Publisher : Konami

Year : 2002

One ball, two numbers, seven words, fifteen syllables. How hard is it to just call the thing ‘soccer’?

28.Panic Restaurant

Worst…service…ever.

Platform : NES

Publisher : Taito

Year : 1992

“Waiter, there’s a fly in my soup.”

“AAAAHHHHH!!!! A f*ckin fly?! NOOOO!!! WHYYY! Now everything is ruined! Quick, call the police! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

27.Ninja Hamster

Ja wohl, mein hammenfuhrer.

Platforms : Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC

Publisher : CRL

Year : 1987

Let the turtles be ninjas and let the hamsters just be hamsters, please. And is it me, or is that rodent wearing a Hitler moustache while doing a little Sieg Heil salute?

26.Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls

He sure is and they sure are.

Platform : N64

Publisher : Acclaim

Year : 1998

Iggy the ball stars in this oddly misspelled racing game. We’re just glad he’s not “wreckin” balls, because that sounds terribly painful.
25.Booby Kids

I dare you to squeeze their cheeks.

Platforms : NES

Publisher : Nihon Busson

Year : 1987

Though the Japanese are traditionally obsessed with panties, they switched gears in this top-down action romp. Should have been subtitled Tits for Tots.

24.Yo! Noid

Avoid the Noid.

Platforms : NES, Arcade

Publisher : Capcom

Year : 1990

Plenty of companies have used video games as thinly veiled advertising vehicles. Chester Cheetah had two games, and those talking M&M’s had four. But none had a title as stupid as this one from the doomed Domino’s Pizza mascot.

23.Lee Trevino’s Fighting Golf

Fore, bitch!

Platforms : NES, Arcade

Publisher : SNK

Year : 1988

No sport promotes fighting like golf does. Wait a second – no it doesn’t, and there’s no fighting in Fighting Golf either, just golf. WTF?

22.Astro Fang: Super Machine

Makes thousands of julienne fries!

Platform : NES

Publisher : A Wave

Year : 1989

It’s a racing game, it’s a can opener, it removes stubborn stains and it melts away those extra pounds like magic! But wait, there’s more! No, there’s not!

21.Divine Divinity

You can say that again.

Platform : PC

Publisher : CDV

Year : 2002

Bringing the term “God complex ” to retarded new heights, this recent RPG’s titular redundancy is truly unholy.

20.Eggs of Steel: Charlie’s Eggcellent Adventure

The yolk’s on us.

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Atlus

Year : 1998

Another one from the Over-Pun archives. Help Charlie the Egg save the giant factory! Ugh. We always knew too many eggs were bad for you.

19.Barkley: Shut Up And Jam!

I want QUIET! AND SLAM DUNKS!

Platform : Genesis

Publisher : Accolade

Year : 1993

Part command, part suggestion. We keep waiting for Kenny Smith to scream this at a babbling, incoherent Sir Charles during a TNT broadcast.

18.Tongue of the Fatman

Starring Ron Jeremy.

Platforms : PC

Publisher : Activision

Year : 1989

There’s nothing like getting a little tongue from the fatman, which is precisely what this bizarre yet nauseating fighting game delivered. At least it didn’t have John Madden in it.

17.Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together

Have you hugged an ogre today?

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Atlus

Year : 1997

Solidarity with ogres was definitely a key issue for whomever came up with the title for this turn-based strategy game. Either that or they were on ecstasy.

16.Rosco McQueen – Firefighter Extreme

Flame on.

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Psygnosis

Year : 1997

Rosco is hot stuff in his his most extremely flaming video game yet! And when he whips out his hose, you’ll burn with the desire to play with it!

15.Tobal No. 1

One is the loneliest number.

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Squaresoft

Year : 1996

Especially in this case, since nobody outside of Japan ever saw another Tobal game. Maybe they should have taken a clue from George Lucas and started with No. 4…

14.Wargasm

I think George Bush gets these.

Platform : PC

Publisher : Infogrames

Year : 1998

Do you love the smell of napalm in the morning? Like, really, really love it? So do the overstimulated dorks behind this atrocious strategy game.

13.GOLF Magazine Presents 36 Great Holes Starring Fred Couples

I wonder what this game is about?

Platform : Sega 32X

Publisher : Sega

Year : 1994

Sponsor? Check. Number of Holes? Check. Quality of Holes? Check. Pro Endorsement? Check. Our attention span? Checked out three holes ago.
12.XEXYZ

RLY TRRBLE NME

Platform : NES

Publisher : Hudson Soft

Year : 1989

This side-scrolling shooter takes place just after a nuclear holocaust. The survivors must have mutated a second tongue, because they named their new nation XEXYZ.

11.No One Can Stop Mr. Domino!

Especially if you tip him over.

Platforms : Playstation

Publisher : Acclaim

Year : 1998

Artdink has made lots of weird games, but this is their most threatening. Mr. Domino knows where you live, bitch!

10.Totally Rad

Like, awesomely bad name, dude.

Platform : NES

Publisher : Jaleco

Year : 1991

In this platformer, regular Californian dude Jake is given magical powers to go save the bodacious babe, Allison. The resulting lesson: never, ever, let the marketing department name your game. Gnarly.

9.James Pond II: Codename RoboCod

A wet pun.

Platforms : Genesis, Game Boy Advance

Publisher : EA

Year : 1991

Fishing for compliments? Hehehe. Searching for sole? For sole – get it? Hey, you’re still a great crowd!

8.Psybadek

D’oh!

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Psygnosis

Year : 1998

“Psydeck” would have been fine, but they just had to add an extraneous “ba” to screw it up. In case you wondered what would happen if you asked Homer Simpson to name your hoverboard video game, now you know. Saxamaphone.

7.Nuts & Milk

Two great tastes that make no sense together.

Platform : NES

Publisher : Hudson Soft

Year : 1984

Hey! You got your nuts in my milk! Hey! You got your milk on my nuts! Mmmmm.

6.Huygen’s Disclosure

Dutch physicists have all the fun.

Platform : PC

Publisher : Microforum

Year : 1999

Spoiler Warning: Each point of an advancing wave front is in fact the center of a fresh disturbance and the source of a new train of waves; and the advancing wave as a whole may be regarded as the sum of all the secondary waves arising from points in the medium already traversed. Sign us up!

5.Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja

Dumb names vs. your quarters.

Platforms : Arcade, NES, Apple II, PC, Amiga

Publisher : Data East

Year : 1988

If you were worried about these dudes taking on the Dragon Ninja, don’t. They’re bad in a good way. Unlike their title, which is bad in a terrible way.

4.Pesterminator: The Western Exterminator

I’ll be back…with Raid!

Platform : NES

Publisher : Color Dreams

Year : 1990

This lame side-scroller was based on Kernel Kleanup, a mascot of the real life Western Exterminator Company. They should be squished for this horrific naming transgression.

3.Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Zeta Gundam

Gundam, spam, eggs, and gundam.

Platform : Playstation 2

Publisher : Namco

Year : 2005

A gundam is a giant robot, and there are plenty of them battling it out in this game. There are plenty of them battling it out in the title, too. Malkovich malkovich.

2.If It Moves, Shoot It!

And if it lives, shoot it again!

Platform : PC

Publisher : Broderbund

Year : 1989

Excellent advice, but we have some, too – don’t let your title double as the instruction manual for, like, a thousand other games.

1.Irritating Stick

And we have a winner. Please pass the ointment.

Platform : Playstation

Publisher : Jaleco

Year : 1999

While it’s refreshingly honest that the game actually tells you that it’s irritating before you buy it, as a name, it’s terrible. It’s so bad, in fact, that we bought a copy about five years ago and haven’t opened it because we don’t want to. Because it’s irritating.(source:gamerevolution)
