Those really aren't that bizarre but it is interesting that your language has a word for mushroom eater.

Yes I am to be remembering!
When was you, OP, when Mario man 3 was release???
I was in home eating fish eggs and dringing straight Vodka when Viacheslav Call...
>Mushroom man 3 is release...
>Yes
Then we gather rubles and buy from local pirate distributor of said video game Mushroom man 3.

>amputee shotgun gangbang boy 2

Russian here. Don't recall any names like that. There were short/diminutive names for some games, like "Finalka" for Final Fantasy or "Castla" for Castlevania. The only new names I remember were the fucked up "official" Dendy titles.
But while we're at it, I have a huge pet peeve with our genre monickers. Or more like, with people who ALWAYS use diminutive forms for them. Like, you know, "fighties", "racies", "shooties" and so on. For fuck's sake.
Oh, and one more thing, many people obviously mispronounce English words and names, like "Soob-Zehro" and so on. But my worst nightmare was one dude calling Akuma "Akeema". It still sounds like nails on chalkboard to me. I still can't get over it 10 years later.

>>3835951
hahaha damn i think i peed a lil

>>3835963
op here
we went beyond that mispronounce!
in mortal kombat for example:
>kung lao= hatman
>liu kang=bruce lee
>jhonney cage=Arnold [terminator refrence!]

Let me see.

Congo's Caper > Monkey Boy
Most Beat 'em ups > Street Fight
Guitar Hero > Guitar player
CT Special Forces > Little soldiers
Einhander > Little ship

All I can remember for now.

Let me see...

Congo's Caper=Monkey Boy
Most Beat 'em ups=Street Fight
Guitar Hero=Guitar player
CT Special Forces=Little soldiers
Einhander=Little ship

All I can remember for now.

Let me see...

Congo's Caper=Monkey Boy
Most Beat 'em ups=Street Fight
Guitar Hero=Guitar player
CT Special Forces=Little soldiers
Einhander=Little ship

All I can remember for now.

a friend of mine used to refer to Adventure Island as "Adam & Eve" and i believe Contra was known as "Rambo" at some point.

Who gives a fuck about third world monkeys?

>>3836057
Why so much hate in your heart my dude?

>>3835945
Did everyone get retarded starting in the 80's or something?

>how do you pronounce "Quake"?
>-kake
>kake?
>-yes, kake
>okay...

And then we played Kake.

>>3837063

>>3835945
OP, just out of curiosity, what nationality/language are we talking here?

>>3838875
Sounds like he was completely unfamiliar with the Latin alphabet, so either Eastern Europe, the Middle East, or Southeast Asia."

>>3839138
You don't think he might have just been unable to make sense of English pronunciation and words? I mean, I know the Roman alphabet, but if I saw something titled, say, "Príomhleathanach" or "Feidhmeacha" I would have a. very little clue how to pronounce it due to unfamiliarity with the orthographic conventions, and b. a hard time remembering it because the word itself is gibberish to me.

>>3839168
Not the guy you're replying to but no I don't think so. In fact I know that's not the case. Because I know a bit of OPs language. My mom is fluent.

Fucking russians

They are awesome

>>3839194
So you know what OP's language is? What is it?

I had a Micro Genius growing up in Poland. But from what he said in OP it didn't sound like anything Polish. So yeah, he's probably Russian.

>>3839138
Confirmed for Russian. Poland uses latin alphabet.

>>3837063
This pic is awesome. I'm a little jealous i never had a Quake 3 lan party with a bunch of pale nerds.

>>3839168
He could have made out "Mah-ree-oh" or "tek-mo kup." None of the words are very long even if the titles are lengthly. I'm starting to think he's from Cambodia or something because not even the adults could make it out.

>>3835963
I call Borderlands and Destiny "looty-shooties."

>>3835945
hilarious looking controller

>>3835945
Does OP speak spanish? I remember seeing those controllers on several magazines back in the days

>>3839202
I don't know what it's called in English but in the native language it's pronounced derka derka mohammed jihad

>>3842062
Maybe. Who knows. Only English and Derka confirmed so far. But knowing several languages is pretty common outside America.

French here
Game like Castlevania was pronounced
Cas (french A like in blablabla)
tel (like "tale")
vania (french A again)

Play super Castlevania 4 on the snes
>Jouer à Super KA-STEL-VANIA quatre sur la Super Nintendo

Also a game like Blazing Skies was pronounced
Bla (blablabla)
zing (normal english pro.)
ski (like a ski)

etc

Killer instinct was
Killer (normal english pro.)
instinct (with "in" sounding like french 1 (un))

and offcourse we had no idea about the cutscenes texts

I discovered the meanings of sentences like :
"You must defeat my Dragon Punch to stand a chance! " in street fighter years later

Also rpgs like secret of mana on snes were unplayable because we couldn't read the text

Same for lyrics in music
It's really nice to finally understand the meaning of a song you played 1000 times just because it sound good and find out it also mean something

>>3843552
i wasn't even 10 when i got my snes so my english vocabulary was limited to the basics
Start Select
New game
Save
Options
Enter Code
Easy normal hard
You Win You Lose
Round
Area Level
On Off Cancel
etc

The rest was like what ? Skip that shit !

>>3843582
it also took me a lot of time to figure out that Slippy needed help on Starfox (Starwing in here) or why Falco was mad at me

Also when the genral say good luck during the brief we were laughing and imitating him and had no idea what he said
Gudlock (laugh)

>>3838091
SPRÖLÖLÖÖÖ TORILLE :D:D:D:DDD:DDD

Me and my brothers and friends would make up nicknames for some games
>Hogs of War = Warrior Pigs
>Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles = Eat Strong Balls (don't ask)
>Rise of the Robots = Blue Robot
>Silent Hill = Snh
>Syphon Filter = Shopping Hitler

>>3843552

>>3844145

>>3835945
What is a Micro Genius

>>3846105
>what is a google

A friend of mine used to call the original Prince of Persia "El principito" (The little prince), also, Commandos was "El boina verde" (Green Beret) according to some kid at my elementary school.

>>3835945
I'm Italian

My mom used to call metal slug something that literally translates to "the game of the soldier" and Bust a move "the game with bubbles"

Also, normalfags used to call DDR the "Baila" for some unknown reason

>>3848360
oh and thps was literally called "thwops", in a miserable attempt to pronounce the shortened title

>>3848365
>thwops

That's what we call you guys

>>3848379
that's racist

>>3848360
Well, "baila" is Spanish for "dance", so that probably has something to do with it.
