Discuss Your Favorite LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG Videogame Titles

Came here to say this and not surprised to see it already here. This one is particularly hilarious to me because so much of it is completely mystifying.

So, ok, I do know Record of Lodoss War is a series of fantasy novels that became a manga. And, ok, it’s a bit of a nice creative touch to frame a novel as being something of a historical document. Let’s just set aside having to reckon with the idea that an interactive videogame is a record of anything.

Things are already shaky before that but they go completely off the rails with Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth. Is Deedlit someone’s name? What are they doing in Wonder Labyrinth? What’s Wonder Labyrinth? What makes a Labyrinth into a Wonder Labyrinth? Each word in the title just heaps on more twists and turns… Record of New Jersey Drug Escapades: Harold and Kumar Go To Whitecastle

A game who’s full title is just forgettable enough to be difficult to find in a ROMset,

Interestingly, the Wikipedia page puts a colon after the word “Christmas” in the title, but that colon isn’t on the cartridge, box art, or title screen of this game. Is the colon real? Who put the colon there first?

Weird little Tose joint. Probably technically a Metroidvania. Great sprite art on this one, too.
