The 30 Dumbest Video Game Titles In History
An anonymous reader writes "Not every game involves taking an axe to the head of a criminal; some classics from the 80's involved massacring camels from aircraft, or in the case of "How to Be a Complete Bastard" for the C64, something altogether different(unless you're a camel). CNet has collected the 30 most ridiculous game names and concepts from the last 25 years. Quite frankly, how some of these — including "Touch Dic" from Korea — ever made it onto store shelves is beyond me."
...which I have yet to find again. (for C64)
/. crowd" you ask? Well, Q*bert-inspired gameplay wasn't modified much, so when penis touched/entered vagina (with a suggestive sound, as far as SID capabilities went) you actually...lost a life.
Basically it was a variant of Q*bert ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q*bert ) where Q*bert was replaced by representation of...penis and enemies by...yep, vaginas.
Why "perfect game for
PS. Frustrating that I can't seem to find it even using the title - Spermen (but I might remember that wrong)

I think you are right. Childish juvenile responses to a few words.
I'm going to Game Stop tomorrow and ask them if they will give me Touch Dic.

Well if your going for ridiculous: Smashing Pumpkins Into Small Piles of Putrid Debris. If you take the first letter of each word and add an ID in front of it some of you might recognize it for something else too...
They should make a list of dumb cheats, think it'd be even more amusing than the title names...
I think it was fifteen years ago I last played New Zealand Story, but I'll never forget the cheat.
Since it's a little vulgar I'll just link the cheat code.
The author's language (and choice of titles, and sense of humor in most of the entries) is full of fail.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.

in the internet age, only one thing comes to mind when you come across a title like "Barbie's Horse Adventures."
I'm a horrible person.
Regarding "Chemist Tycoon": I think that title is much more odd as an American, where we don't refer to our pharmacists as "chemists". When I hear the word "chemist", I picture a chemical engineer, or some kind of research scientist mixing test tubes in a laboratory.
It's kind of ridiculous to imagine becoming a "tycoon" at that.
The whole Barbie series is really a collection of well-thought out masterpieces.
William of Ockham had no beard. The most likely explanation is that it was chewed off by squirrels every morning.

But... horses can not use a keyboard can they?
