I'm partial to Götzendiener just because it has umlauts, though Jeff Minter's games have the best titles of all: Attack of the Mutant Camels, Space Giraffe, Sheep in Space, Mama Llama, Metagalactic Llamas Battle at the Edge of Time, Goat Up, and Made in France II.

Awesome, this is great list.  I especially concur with "Shatterhand" & "Ninja Gaiden".  "Rush N' Attack" is awesome on multiple levels, as well as, after a fashion... "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties".  (Hey, it definitely is suggestive of the theme!  >_(\  )  And I completely agree that "fill-in-the-blank 64" is at the very bottom of the barrel.  Some other good-ish ones I thought of:

Trinity
Pipe Dream
Grim Fandango

In the ironically humorous department, "Hotel Mario" conjures up all sorts of incongruous images.  Not sure how I feel about "Doom" or "Contra".  Both are evocative, but also somewhat vague.  "Touhou Koumakyou: the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil" seems a little redundant, but you could argue that the Japanese & English play off one another, and the English subtitle is certainly a vivid image.  (I am unqualified to judge the Japanese side of it.)  I rather like "Doki Doki Panic" but the name doesn't really connect to anything in the game that I'm aware of.  For whatever reason, "Hot Dog Storm" makes me think of "Day of the Tentacle".  I am unfamiliar with Firebird, but I see it has a super-cool titlescreen.  ^^

Speaking of "fill in the blank" 64.  I love game tiles such as Super "fill in the blank"! :D  There was plenty of those on the SNES, but in general, I can't get enough of the Supers!

The Attack of the Mutant Camels I think I've heard of.  It was a game for the never released 16bit(or 32bit??) Konix Multisystem.  I think it eventually evolved into Defender 2K for the Jag, or atleast one of the modes did(I think there's a lama mode IIRC).

It was a game for Atari computers, and it played a lot like The Empire Strikes Back on the 2600 except with giant camels instead of AT-ATs.

It's also on the C64, and there is also
http://www.lemon64.com/games/details.php?ID=3270

Arguably the best game in the series!!!

:)

My favorite game name is Faxanadu because I like saying it and typing it.  My least favorite game name is Halo because that game sucks.

It's always weird to me when a sequel is worse than the original, aka - King of the Monsters 2.

I guess the title is somewhat clever, at least it has that going for it.

How about Stroker?  I remember stumbling upon this game on my friend's dad's computer when I was about 8 years old...  I finally figured it out a couple years later!

  I agree wholeheartedly!  But, I am biased on this one; I fell in love with that game when I was like 10 and still haven't gotten over it.  =^^=

Agreed, that is pretty clever.
