Ridiculous Game Character Names Exposed

Posted by simoniker on Friday October 10, 2003 @07:55PM from the like-super-mario dept.

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?

Magus' three henchmen were named after people from bands that were popular at the time the game was written:
- Ozzie (Ozzy Osbourne)
- Slash (Guns 'n Roses)
- Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Oh, and there was a Lemmy Koopa (after Lemmy Kilminster from Motorhead) at one point, too. I think he was in Super Mario World for SNES.
