THE NAME GAME
Two things got me interested in the Name Game. The first is the rather obvious tendency for vidgames to fall into certain categories, going strictly by their names. I leave it to the reader to guess what Space Invaders, Moon Patrol, Asteroids, and Galaxian have in common.

FEATURES
Surely no self-respecting Zaxxon freak wants to actually be seen doing business with something called Donkey Kong, Jr. What would the guys say?

Two things got me interested in the Name Game. The first is the rather obvious tendency for vidgames to fall into certain categories, going strictly by their names. I leave it to the reader to guess what Space Invaders, Moon Patrol, Asteroids, and Galaxian have in common. The second was an inexplicable gap in the Lust For Kill category. Why isn't there a game called Smeared Blood? Shoot To Maim? Ultimate Destruction? You know, something the whole family can enjoy.
Once the wheels started turning, I began to wonder if there's a connection between the name of the game and the person who plays. Surely no self-respecting Zaxxon freak wants to actually be seen doing business with something called Donkey Kong, Jr. What would the guys say??
