CHALLENGE: State an existing video game title catchier than "Donkey Kong"
« on: June 16, 2013, 09:20:58 pm »
Title says it all. I've never heard a game the name of which stuck in my head better than Donkey Kong. All of my favorite video games have pretty boring titles (except for maybe Counter-Strike, which I think has a decent title). Anyone know of a better video game title? I'd love to hear one ;D

One title that always grabbed my attention was Run Like Hell on the PS2.

Actually, I've just thought of something: Zombies Ate My Neighbors. While it's not as catchy as Donkey Kong, I think it's a nice game title.

That's a pretty fun game, kinda Robotron-ish. I have a TG score listed for it, lest anyone accuse me of only playing the classics.

Yep similar kind of feel to Robotron. To complete the game it's relatively short, but it's a lot of fun and cheap to buy.
