    Default World's most typo-riddled game ad

    I saw the thread about intentional misspelling, and thought of an old favorite (from a 1993 EGM) that I scanned many years ago. These are unintentional misspellings of game titles....LOTS of them!
    I had marked some of my favorite typos with green dots (although I think it's more fun to find them on your own). There are others not marked. Note the disclaimer at the bottom of the ad.
    Enjoy!

    I'll just take your word for it. Too much to read.

    You forgot to tag Zero Wing, which is listed as Zero Wings. Oh, the delicious irony.....

    Also among the unmarked are things such as randomly occurring manufacturer names immediately following the game title. "BATMAN RETURN OF THE JOKER SUNSOFT" isn't particularly amusing, but "VIKING INTERPLAY" sounds foul.

    My personal favorites (which are, of course, among the marked ones):
    Bolphin (it's fun to say, especially if you REALLY emphasize the "B")
    Sonic the Hedgehoc
    Deadly Mores ("No public displays of affection, by order of martial law.")
    Chester Cheetall

    Also, there is the "apocalypse group"--characters that have suddenly had their companions evaporate into nothingness, leaving us with:
    THE SIMPSON (who is undoubtedly playing Monoplay)
    SPIDERMAN WITH X-MAN
    KINGS OF THE MONSTER

    Wow. This is the best laugh I've had all day!

    Anyone wanna take a guess as to what "The MENACAR" is about?

    It's not their fault. At the bottom is a disclaimer that says they're not responsible for typos.

    I also like where they spelled the word "carry" wrong ("cary").

    Was I the only person who saw "Wimbleedon Tennis" and immediately thought of the Monty Python sketch "Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days"?
