Stupid Game Titles

[a1]

[QUOTE=Adamant][QUOTE=a] There's a game on the NES called Puss 'n Boots.
[/QUOTE]

Yeah? It's a classic fairy tale, not a name that was made up for the game.[/QUOTE]

Still a stupid name.

Puss N Boots means "a cat wearing boots". If the game is about that character I don't see how that could be a bad game name. It's just a name that hasn't held up well over time.

Argh. Let me retry. Go on ebay and see if you can find a picture of the cartridge. It looks very stupid.

[Funkmaster V]

Yep, I'll give ya the cartridge is whack, a. Have you seen Shrek 2? They kinda gave Puss N Boots new life and made him as cool as possible... for whatever that is worth.

"I think Legend of ZELDA is an awesome name!"

... well, I agree it was an awesome GAME, mOzart, but wasn't one of Cinderella's evil Stepsiters named Zelda? And seriously would YOU date a woman named Zelda?

Also, I lived through the era of boring GENERIC titles....
"Tennis", "Moon landing", "Space shoot", "Tank battle"...
YAWWWWN! How did titles like these SELL!?

Can't forget "ATTACK OF THE BEEFSTEAK TOMATOES" for the 2600.
Bad name, REALLLY bad game!

I'd date a woman named Edgar Allen Poe if she was cute and had a good personality.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes was one of my favorite movies when I was about five years old.  I love watching B-movies, especially with loudmouthed sarcastic friends.  That one is still one of my favorite B-movies ever.

Somehow I've never heard of that game though.  They almost HAVE to be related.

mOzart..you seem to be disagreeing with me a LOT lately, I hope I haven't upset you.

I Agree with you that Revenge of the KILLER Tomatoes was a hillariously funny movie (I can still hear that song in my head A..TACKKKK of the killer TooomaTOESSS!)...But "Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes" was a funny idea turned into a bad game. It is a cave-man game. Brick fly. Grab colored brick. Shoot at same colored wall to wall in tomato plants. Dodge big killer tomato.
Do again for other two walls. Do again. Again. Again. Oh, you lose life? No worry, you have INFINITE lives you never lose! HAHAHA...BoRRRRRRing! -too bad too, it could have been funny!
I loved the box art, but this is just another 20th century fox games loser (like the awful M*A*S*H )

Naw, just my failed attempt at being funny.  I wasn't really disagreeing, I just have this nasty habit of relaying with people like we're playing intellectual pong.  Every now and then I throw English on the ball and people mistake it for anger.  I assure you that you have done nothing to upset me

Sounds terrible.

Hmmm... did the idea for the game come from the movie?

Heh heh, that would be an interesting name for a cute girl, m0zart.

Sort of like meeting a hottie by the name of Rosie O' Donnel.

I would probably insist on using a nickname, just to avoid unfortunate mental images.
