What's the proper way to spell these?
I've seen several variations on how to spell different game titles, and I was just wondering what's the "correct" way to do so.
Mega Man or Megaman?
Coolboarders, Cool Boarders, or CoolBoarders?
Sunsoft or SunSoft?
Medievil or MediEvil?
HardBall or Hardball?
Gameshark or GameShark?
Dragon Ball Z or DragonBall Z?
Bust a Groove or Bust-a-Groove?
Biohazard or BioHazard?
Oddworld or OddWorld?
NFL Gameday or NFL GameDay?
NCAA Gamebreaker or NCAA GameBreaker?
NBA Shootout or NBA ShootOut?

Well, according to various game boxes and labels, etc., we have:
Mega Man
Dragon Ball Z
GameShark
Sunsoft
Those are the ones I can say for sure.
I only need 2 more NES games (US)!
What about GameBoy or Game Boy ?
And SpiderMan , Spider Man or Spider-Man ?
It's definitely Spider-Man. Trust me.Originally Posted by jonjandran

That would be Game Boy...the funniest thing is that because people always spelled it differently, Nntendo released a press statement to correct everyone about it. (Too bad I can't find it though)
Re: What's the proper way to spell these?
These are the ones I'm reasonably certain of.
Mega Man
SunSoft
MediEvil
Hardball
Dragon Ball Z
The others... I'd like to know myself!
Ones im pretty certain of
Oddworld
MediEvil
Bust-A-Groove (same goes to Bust-A-Move)
Biohazard
:::EDIT::::
I checked on my IGN collection page to see how it was listing some of the titles and it says
Sunsoft
Spider-Man
Mega Man
The problem is that I doubt any of them are actually consistant. I know I've seen both Sunsoft and SunSoft, so even they don't know what it should be!
Re: What's the proper way to spell these?
It's HardBall, check out the link I posted. www.lemon64.com has shots of the screen, the title, and the box. They all show a capital B. It may have been changed later in the series, but at least for HardBall 1, it's definitely HardBall.
Trust Flack. It's Spider-Man. Stan Lee made a point of putting the hyphen in there to differentiate the webhead from another popular hero whose title started with "S" and ended with "man". That's Superman for those of you who don't read comic books.
And as long as I'm slightly off the gaming topic here, it's Dr Pepper, not Dr. Pepper. mmmm....Dr Pepper...
And regarding all 4 current platforms, the correct spelling is:
Game Boy Advance (SP)
Xbox
PlayStation 2
GameCube
And EverQuest is spelled with a capital Q (I always have to correct that one in our flyer proofs).
