Like, awesomely bad name, dude.
Platform : NES
Publisher : Jaleco
Year : 1991
In this platformer, regular Californian dude Jake is given magical powers to go save the bodacious babe, Allison. The resulting lesson: never, ever, let the marketing department name your game. Gnarly. |

Fishing for compliments? Hehehe. Searching for sole? For sole - get it? Hey, you're still a great crowd! |

D'oh!
Platform : Playstation
Publisher : Psygnosis
Year : 1998
"Psydeck" would have been fine, but they just had to add an extraneous "ba" to screw it up. In case you wondered what would happen if you asked Homer Simpson to name your hoverboard video game, now you know. Saxamaphone. |

Dumb names vs. your quarters.
Platforms : Arcade, NES, Apple II, PC, Amiga
Publisher : Data East
Year : 1988
If you were worried about these dudes taking on the Dragon Ninja, don't. They're bad in a good way. Unlike their title, which is bad in a terrible way. |

I'll be back...with Raid!
Platform : NES
Publisher : Color Dreams
Year : 1990
This lame side-scroller was based on Kernel Kleanup, a mascot of the real life Western Exterminator Company. They should be squished for this horrific naming transgression. |

Gundam, spam, eggs, and gundam.
Platform : Playstation 2
Publisher : Namco

A gundam is a giant robot, and there are plenty of them battling it out in this game. There are plenty of them battling it out in the title, too. Malkovich malkovich. |

Excellent advice, but we have some, too - don't let your title double as the instruction manual for, like, a thousand other games. |

And we have a winner. Please pass the ointment.
Platform : Playstation
Publisher : Jaleco
Year : 1999
While it's refreshingly honest that the game actually tells you that it's irritating before you buy it, as a name, it's terrible. It's so bad, in fact, that we bought a copy about five years ago and haven't opened it because we don't want to. Because it's irritating. |
