Ridiculous Game Character Names Exposed

Thanks to 1UP for their chart of the most ridiculous videogame character names ever. Among the crazed picks are Higharolla Kockamamie from Snake's Revenge ("How many 8-year-olds of the time were expected to get the Ayatollah Khomeini reference here is questionable"), Rocket Billy Redcadillac from Gungrave O.D. ("Here's a name so gloriously stupid, the mind protests at being asked to accept it"), and Fred Askare & Paula Abghoul from Castlevania IV ("Presumably from the same translation department that gave us Love Chaney, Jr. and Boris Karloffice.") Any other nominations?

They forgot Guybrush Threepwood!

Donkey Kong?

It's just a translation error so I don't know if it counts, but if it does, then it beats all the rest hands down.

What's on the developer's desk?

A former employer of mine published the instantly forgetable "Action adventure" game Perfect Assassin. This was a rather pedestrian fixed camera 3D puzzle solving game for DOS and Playstation which might have caused some interest in 1994 but released in 1997 it sank without trace. Some publishers are stupid enough to sign any old rubbish.

It featured a cast of characters whose names were sourced from whatever happened to be on the develper's desk at the time. I cant remember them all but the two that stick in my mind are G'set Kasse (Cassette case) and J'am J'ah (Jam jar).

Who said creativity was dead in the games industry?:)
