Using Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (the most recent name everyone believes to be extra wordy) as the baseline for “long ass name,” we present a list of long-winded games in increasing orders of multi-syllabic magnitude. How many colons, dashes and conjunctions can you spot?

Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 5: 8-bit is Enough
As long as those over-lettered beasts are, we found three more that stretch the boundaries of rational naming - the last two don't even fit on one line:
Where in America is Carmen Sandiego?: The Great Amtrak Train Adventure
One of many, many games glamorizing Amtrak and its Big Train agenda
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode Two
The only game name that comes to mind with a goddam comma
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder II -- The Legend of Darkmoon
Oh Gygax, must we owe you everything?
Pretty anticlimactic ending isn’t it? For our all our technology and polygon-flinging machinery, someone making their own pen-and-paper D&D campaign can think up a longer name.
Know of something longer? Post it in the comments below, but be aware of some of our criteria. First, we pick the longest from a series, not list them all (Sam & Max, Strong Bad etc). We also tried to stick to US/EU/AU releases, so some insanely long Japanese battle rape sim doesn’t count either. Can you out-Beholder us? Give it a try!
