[Haoie]

Well, that list sucked. I didn't see Revengers of Vengence anywhere.

Heck, half the names on there are totally classy.

[Rook_Jones]

What about "Violence Fight?" That should have been number one.

[Oobgarm]

No sign of this classic, either:

http://www.ioffergames.com/gimg/605493-Mr.-Nutz-Ocean-of-America-Inc.-1994.jpg

Also worth mentioning:

Puss N Boots
Ballz (3D)
Giant Testicles (I made that one up)

[jajaja]

Sticky Balls

Haha LOL

[scooterb23]

I was hoping for a Final Fantasy XII: Still not Final yet joke in there.

[Steven]

No sign of this classic, either:

http://www.ioffergames.com/gimg/605493-Mr.-Nutz-Ocean-of-America-Inc.-1994.jpg


LOL

yes!

That was the 1st game that came in my mind. Mr. Nutz... sheesh. Imagine 9 year olds back in the mid-90's to their moms: MOOOMMY! I must have MR NUTZ! CAN YOU FIND ME MR NUTZ!

sheeeeesh.

The worst title of all time IMHO though belongs to this crazy Saturn import

http://www.vgrebirth.org/images/sat/6inchmydarling/6inchmydarling_j_1850_frontcover.jpg

6 INCH MY DARLING

don't ask!

[Nebagram]

Bah, no sign of the Japanese PS1 classic "Bastard". And if we're allowing parodies on there (The James Pond name is very much a parody, as is the game for the most part) then "Pyst" surely deserves a mention.

Of them all though, Wargasm is the only one that caused my blood pressure to drop significantly.

[idrougge]

Where were all the Tom Clancy games?

[bazariah]

what about that fun ps1 game called iznogoud???

if it didnt get stolen from me i'd still be hiding that game :D

[ROBOTNIK666]

I was almost sure that they would put Teddy Boy (SMS) on that list.

[aaronpetrosky]

Hybrid Heaven is a little weird if you ask me.

[Iron Draggon]

No sign of this classic, either:

http://www.ioffergames.com/gimg/605493-Mr.-Nutz-Ocean-of-America-Inc.-1994.jpg


LOL

6 INCH MY DARLING

don't ask!

OMG dude, Mr. Nutz came in your mind?

[odyeiop]

OMG dude, Mr. Nutz came in your mind?
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
I"m done for the day now =P

[tom]

How about Apidya? Awful name, but good game (Amiga)

[smork]

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

"6 Inch my darling"? Now that's fucking killer. Must go find that :)

[cyberfluxor]

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

"6 Inch my darling"? Now that's fucking killer. Must go find that :)

LOL Ya, that sounds like a great title! You tell us not to ask about it, but rather how did you find out about it? Do you play it often or something?

I must agree though that the list they made blows. Lots of good games with awesome titles, I mean come on!
"Barkley: Shut Up And Jam!"
That game title really does make me want to play some B-ball from the 90's and kick someones ass in it!

[SirDrexl]

How about:

Panty Raider
Mark Ecko's Getting Up
The Urbz: Simz in the City

I know it's heresy because it's such a good game, but I've always hated "Bust a Move." The idea of "Americanizing" a game (that didn't even have a difficult name to begin with) with a lame hip-hop catch phrase is just wrong IMHO.

[mezrabad]

That list gave me some much needed chuckles. Thanks for the link.

[FurinkanianFrood]

Ball Jacks on Megadrive....

Truxton and Chiki Chiki boys on Genny are both good games but the names suck.

Woody Pop (Mark III).
Rod Land.
Liquid Kids.

[Mark III]

These's so many bad names out there you could never narrow it down to 50.

S.C.A.T. (NES)
Rex Ronan Experimental Surgeon (SNES)
Strip Fighter II (PC Engine)
Battleraper (PC)
A Boy and his Blob (NES)
Monkey Ball Touch N' Roll (DS)
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie (PS2)


And how can you have a "50 worst" list and not mention Communist Mutants from Space?

[Kid Ice]

What, no "Tube Slider"?

[tom]

UK games on Spectrum and C-64 had some really weird names sometimes

[TheReturnofCaptainFalcon]

In my younger years the most obscure idiotic game I played (I had no instruction manual so I still dont understand the point no controls of the gameplay.) was called Raid On Bungeling Bay for the NES

[Daria]

Awww... "No One Can Stop Mr. Domino!" is a great quirky title, perfect for a great quirky game.

I also don't see what's wrong with "Zeitgeist".

[GiantPooka]

What, no Gley Lancer? No Continental Circus? Not even Space Invaders '95: The Attack of Lunar Loonies or Pooyan? Dammit. Good list, though, pretty funny.

[Push Upstairs]

I know it's heresy because it's such a good game, but I've always hated "Bust a Move." The idea of "Americanizing" a game (that didn't even have a difficult name to begin with) with a lame hip-hop catch phrase is just wrong IMHO.

Cue that Young MC song.



And how can you have a "50 worst" list and not mention Communist Mutants from Space?

Because "Communist Mutants from Space" is a great name that onl gets better when you add more words to it.

"Communist Midget Vegetarian Goat Herding Stripper Mutants from Space"

See, its that much more of a fun game!

[starsoldier1]

What about Tuff E Nuff for Super Nintendo?

[Steven]

Tuff E Nuff isn't THAT bad. The whole title though is pretty funky indeed: HEY PUNK! R YA TUFF E NUFF?

But it did have a fairly decent cover art with a cheesy comic feel to it, so I can forgive the title a bit.

Yeah, Shut up and Jam is a lousy title haha. "Hey c'mon guys lets play some 4 player Shut Up and Jam."

I think back in the day I just called it "Barkley."

And yes, Mr. Nutz did pop in my mind. Hey, it's a bad title, and that's what this thread's about! Don't get any ideas ;)

Never played 6 Inch My Darling before, but back in my Saturn days I came across a topic where they were making fun of the weirdest titles on Saturn.

You know, like

KING THE SPIRITS (High Velocity in US form)

WTF is King the Spirits, ya kno? LOL

[Kitsune Sniper]

I think we should not count unlocalized Japanese games because of the whole Engrish thing. Once they got a US/Euro port, though, they're all easy pickin'. LOL

[Nebagram]

what about that fun ps1 game called iznogoud???

if it didnt get stolen from me i'd still be hiding that game :D

Someone stole that from you and hasn't sued yet for emotional trauma? Result. :)

[B - Mark]

[Haoie]

^Just to clarify, the point wasn't a list of bad games. It was a list of bad names for games [and the first list I still felt, was half assed]. The games themselves are actually excellent for the most half, Jumpman for example, totally classic.

[cyberfluxor]

S.C.A.T. (NES)
ROFL Forgot about that one!

For those of you that may not know scat, refer to:
Coprophilia
Scatology

or... Special Cybernetic Attack Team LOL

IF you have the stomach for it (And I barely do) then google up scat and you'll get some dirty porn... Unhealthy by far in my opinion.

[Push Upstairs]

"Bad Dudes" is a bad title.

Its so generic.


Also for S.C.A.T.

Scat - Jazz singing in which improvised, meaningless syllables are sung to a melody -Dictionary.com

Cool, a Mel Tormé singing game! "Guitar Hero" and "Dance Dance Revolution" got nothing on that!

[Ed Oscuro]

S.C.A.T. is indeed a bad name. Great game though.

Bad Dudes is classic, though.

Also bad (IN MY HUMBLE VIEW): Legend of Jesus - Bio Monsters. Come on!

[Kitsune Sniper]

Also bad (IN MY HUMBLE VIEW): Legend of Jesus - Bio Monsters. Come on!

It's also a Japanese title, so it doesn't really count. It's Engrish. :P

[Wavelflack]

I can't believe no one listed Hotdog Storm. It's a space shooter.



http://www.photodump.com/direct/wavelx/hotdog.jpg

[gum_drops]

Two Crude dudes for the genesis.

[DigitalSpace]

A few more that might have fit in well on the list:

Karnaaj Rally (GBA)
It's Mr. Pants! (GBA)
Driv3r (PS2/Xbox/GBA) - a 3 replacing an e? Come on.

[vintagegamecrazy]

C'mon everyone is missing all of the fun ones

I want My Mommy- Atari 2600
Master Chu And The Drunkard Hu- NES
Toilet Kids- TG16
Gubble- PSX
Racing- PSX
Card Games- PSX

[Rook_Jones]

When I used to go to this fleamarket with my friend, we'd always see this trio of SNES games no one would buy, including Phalanx (not a bad name, but probably a bad choice of box art) and HEY PUNK ARE YOU TUFF E NUFF (which we'd always say to each other before doing something...uh, tuff...like playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2).

The third is one that I think qualifies for this list:
Saturday Night Slammasters. They're the masters of slam, but only on Saturday night...

The Japanese name for the same game was pretty awesome too. "Muscle Bomber." I think good old Haggar from Final Fight made an appearance in these games, too...

[SkiDragon]

"Name that Game" is kind of a weird name.

Another funny name, while not terrible, is "Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention".

[ZidanaX]

Saw a mention of "Big Nose Freaks Out'" for the NES in a topic on NESdev.

[exit]

He totally forgot

Claymates
Brainlord
Steven Seagal is The Final Option (so what if was never finished!)
Castleween
Doug's Big Game


It seemed like they didn't have an idea for an update, so they posted the most redudent thing they could think of. Kind of that I've noticed IGN has been doing.



My list of worst games....

- Ghost House ( Master System )



BLASPHEMY!
