The 50 Worst Videogame Names of All Time

Game Revolution has a great feature looking at fifty of the worst-named games ever to require a controller. They dig deep here, unearthing gems like 'Yo! Noid!', 'Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt!', and 'Huygen's Disclosure'. From the article: "From Dick Butkus to Hootie and the Blowfish to Lake Titicaca, bad names have been with us forever. But thanks to the inevitable collision of reclusive nerds, bizarre artists and painfully unhip marketing execs, the video game industry enjoys some of the worst names of all. The following list was compiled after hours of lively debate, pages of exhausting science and one actual geek fistfight."

...NEEEERDDDS!

But anyway: Cotton Fantastic Night Dreams
Was Donkey Kong on the list? Couldn't load the page. Wasn't it supposed to be Monkey Kong?

WTF?? No ET the Extraterresterial?

How can that game not be on there?? I call shenanigans on this list.

I disagree with #47 completely

#47 = Jumpman.

I loved this game, it was absolutely one of my favorite games on the Atari 400. It was like a pre-super-mario bro's, complete with fast action, many many many levels with all kinds of variation in the enemies you encounter etc.

Not only did I play it alot, my whole family did. We had 300 to 400 games for the Atari 400, and this was one of my favorites.... I can think of ALOT worse games than this that arn't even on this top 50.
