- TiMMY8765, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28Bad Dudes is a classic
"President Ronnie has been kidnapped by the Ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the President?" - theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -1/+28I actually really liked Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja.
- zeldafan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Did you read the title?
Worst NAMES
Jumpman kicks ass, but the name doesn't. - renegade334, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Frogger: Helmet Chaos. WTF??!?!?
Thats like saying: Harry Potter and the attack of the letterbox - scrapstyle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Nuts & Milk... that's just funny.
- micro506, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18"Jump+Man = Jumpman."
Exactly! Just like Snakes on a Plane! - dan2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Sorry, Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt! is one of the best names for a game I've seen.
- mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14what about Boogerman? or Shaq-Fu?
- kennyGS13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13what about caution: seaman?
- dotdan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I think a lot of people are ignoring the fact that it says "Names" not "Games" -- didn't realize either until my friend pointed it out.
- wiizilla, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11tell me how NO ONE CAN STOP MR. DOMINO!, Spanky's Quest, Sticky Balls, and Wild Woody are sexually suggestive
- danmanx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11How in the blue hell is Jumpman a bad title? It's 1983. You jump. You're a man.
Jump+Man = Jumpman.
It might be a simple title, but it's certainly not a bad one.
I think the author of this bottom 50 names did a decent job, however, he simply picked most of the titles that are sexually suggestive by today's standards.... - PlaidPhantom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I have an overpowering need to play "Irritating stick".
- toxicgonzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Where's "Touch Dic?"
- TheBenchWarmer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8"Tongue of the Fatman" looks like a good title.
- tuna1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Why isn't Shaq Fu on that list?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8How the hell is grand theft auto, a real federal crime, a strange name for a violent game where you can perform grand theft autos?
- rmassie, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12The #1 name is certainly appropriate for this list, but "Um Jammer Lammy" should be on a list of one of the best names for video games. Come on, just say it out loud.
There was a time of about a month when the game came out where I would just say "Um Jammer Lammy" at random to friends just because it's fun to say. Give it a Jamacian accent. Oh Yea. Um Jammer Lammy =) - MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Hahah theres so many sex innuendo titles on the list...
Nuts and Milk
Booby Kids
Irritating Stick
Spanky's Quest
Wild Woody
Sticky Balls
Iggy's Reckin' Balls
Tongue of the Fatman
Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together
Wargasm - user, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7No SCAT????
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.C.A.T.:_Special_Cybernetic_Attack_Team - DenZ88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Well, I have an overpowering need to play both "Irritating Stick" and "Sticky balls"
- ezzthetic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7As others have pointed out, the list is about the quality of the names, not the quality of the games. It isn't a worst game list.
- Blueshrike, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7If yer inquiring about Gumshoe as a horrible name, it's a term for a detective, so, no, not horrible.
If yer inquiring literally about what happened to the game, I can only think you meant to post that on an article that wasn't this one. - cogen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Wild W-
Oh dear.
Some of these are amazing. Dugg. - Trjn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6On a semi-related note, wasn't Mario called "Jumpman" in Donkey Kong?
- pentomino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Nuts & Milk seems to be on every pirate NES they sell at the mall. It's the kind of thing they have to do when they can't copy the magic chip that makes Super Mario 3 work.
- schleufer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wow, there are actually people out there that didn't know that "Grand Theft Auto" is a proper terminology for such a crime?
It is even mentioned in a few songs- N.W.A.s "Boyz in the Hood" is one of the first times I heard it in rhyme. "It's all about makin' that GTA". They sure as hell weren't talking about the game- considering the game didn't make an appearance until about a decade and a half later.
So no... GTA isn't a weird name. Just a cool name that DMA/Rockstar nabbed before anyone else. - donatj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Quite obviously they forgot "Woody Pop"
- wiizilla, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5NO ONE CAN STOP MR. DOMINO! lol
ok how is Spanky's Quest, Sticky Balls, and Wild Woody better than Klonoa: Door to Phantomile - natterca, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4> ... if you're going to go through the trouble of making ...
a comment, then RTFA. - TheBenchWarmer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Anybody remember the reference to the Noid from Family Guy? With Adam West?
- cazabam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yes, obviously spending the time to check the source of each game and pass comment on it is _far_ more exciting and dangerous than just having a chuckle at the list itself. You must be the life and soul of the party.
I suddenley feel a strange urge to track down a copy of Irritating Stick, tho ... - danlovejoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Way too lazy to look it up. But I believe "Daikatana" means "Big Sword."
- Improfane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You do not have to avoid a game just because a someone says it sucks.
- Quatre, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Me and my friends have a lot of great jokes about a bunch of these games. You have got to love Engrish.
- egarc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I loved playing Jumpman on my C64. To play any level, you just changed the name of the file on the disc to correspond with a level you'd completed. My first hack! Brings back memories.
- merdiesel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Tech Romancer is a bad ass name in my opinion, as a matter of fact i just named my side band that. lol
- Kazanoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I laughed out loud in real life.
Grammar Nazi, Plox? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3GamePro had an article on this. #1 was "The Typing of the Dead", it was a typing game where zombies attack you with chainsaws, and you have to type the worlds under them to kill them.
- Cheirdal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I didn't see Potty Pigeon on the list. I thought it would be #1.
- alienSkull, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3what are you talking about...
when i saw the title of this article, thats the first game to come into my head.. - afeitarse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Dude, don't diss Zeitgeist! It's a great bar in SF.
- TheFoundry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I think Wild Woody should have been #1.
- pinnette, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5@wiizilla: 1 question, 1 suggestion
How old are you? Ask your parents. - JohnH, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Oh please. Making fun of Jumpman's name for not showing originality is stupid. He's a man, and he jumps. When the game was released way the hell back then, on the Commodore 64, I think they gave it a pass on its name.
- cazabam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Here in the UK we don't use the term outside of references to the game or US TV shows :-) Instead we have an even sillier word: TWOC - Taking Without Owners Consent.
I guarantee that TWOC: Vice City would not sell as well ... - jonshipman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think the whole "Let's put 64 after all the games" idea was bad too.
As was preceding games with "Super" the generation prior.
Though Superman 64 would not fall under both... - KageKonjou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Why don't I see "Super Awesome Fun Game Man: The Adventures Of Game Man On Fun Times With Quests And Fun" listed? ftW!?
- Ayavaron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Not exactly, It's a combination of Daio and Katana which respectively mean big and sword. They just left out the O so it's not exactly big sword. Either way, it's a stupid name.
- dralezero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Jumpman was awesome yes! Look up Jumpman Under Construction. Its a game for windows with all the old levels and you can make your own very easily.
