Rename a Game

Could I request that people put the original/real title in spoiler tags in their posts/before too long? I've only got about a quarter of these so far.

A fair point, Zero - I'll go back and edit some of mine in.

If that's what I think it is, superb.

Anyone played Snowstorm's classic RPG Diavolo?

Spoiler:

Thank ye kindly! I preferred it when they renamed it Passapuff, followed by Passapuff Excessive and Passapuff Unchained.

(Die-a-blow Too and Free? No? Okay then.)

WRPGs went down about as well as a lead balloon - let's move on!  (I've edited in my game names again.)  Week 3 is sports games: the Payment-for (how appropriate!) and Payed-for-it Darwinism series and the like.

(FIFA and Pro Evo.)

Sports games are alright, but I've never been a fan of the Angryburrow series. I just don't get it.

Spoiler:

Gosh, Nhopeay Pouch Twelveinchsphere Cosh was a bit of a disappointment, wasn't it? And we'd all paid so much money for it...

If you own a ps4 then ClaretConvey is an absolute must have.

I'm sure this one is absolutely brilliant, but I don't have a clue what it is!

Everyone seems to be talking about Firework 5.556km (Rocket League) nowadays as the current-gen. sports game du jour.  It does sound fun!

something Pocket Football something???

Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

Spoiler:

Yes, and cheers! My years of solving cryptic crosswords have served me well.

Giuseppe Wingers: Indicted was a real favourite of mine back on Wii.

Spoiler:

Probably my most-played sports game on the SNES was Countrywide Hoops Organisation Preserve. Loved that. The more recent Wii update did not capture the game I remember playing...

Another blinder, Zero.

The last "proper" sports game I played and enjoyed (ignoring the Giuseppe series: Giuseppe A-Number-After-Nine-Exists and Giuseppe Volkswagen: Frog Chair Walkaround being my favourites) was probably Global Idol Football: International Year of the Ocean.  The PlayBox sequel put me off the rest of the series.

Spoiler:

Does anyone remember the game Crimson Board? Ludicrous kicking-ball game, that.

Spoiler:

Yay, I get Jay's and Zero's! Oh I just got Balla's!
The problem with the SNES is that all the games had the same basic name: Magnificent Racketball, Magnificent Association Football, and even Magnificent Crutch.

Magnificent Crutch is eluding me.

Anyway, with xkcd stealing our idea, it's time for another genre change! This time it's shooty games in space. Games like BelongingToUs-Variety, AshenGod and, of course, UntruthCartoonist Struggles.

(Yes, these genres will get more TRP-like as I try to string the thread idea out. )

Seeing as I'm struggling with the last two games you've used as examples, is this edition centred around games like Meteorites or games like Church-Gathering Outcome?

Spoiler:

Purposefully ambiguous, but mine were more along the lines of Meteorites.

Incidentally, Church-Gathering Outcome (which I'd class as more of a Western RPG) is the third name for that game in this thread!

Ah, then I have to mention one of my favourites from that genre which I first played on the Imaginary Dashboard, Magnificent Sun Warrior.

(went and edited in the "answers" to my previous efforts!)

Cricket may have come from the Dutch word for crutch.

I was going to suggest Bang'n'Doublewasp but that's not actually in space. Therefore: Best: Nasty

I got Bang'n'Doublewasp just because it was Jimbob doing it. The other two are puzzling me.

I think that Naughtiness & Retribution probably counts as being set in space, doesn't it? And we all loved its sequel, Heir of the Heavens, too. (pointedly ignores Andrewperson)

I am terribly afraid that I found Inheritor Of The Idols really very frustrating and traded it in quickly. Hatchetplace is much more my kind of game in this genre.

Yeah, sorry! I realise I have a repertoire of about 3 games! At least I didn't mention Derbyshire (not a space shooter)

Ooh, would Slang For An Area of Land Owned by Native Americans count for this edition?
