post (Engrish) game names that drive you insane. not necessarily Engrish, I just mean those particular names that make no sense and you just can't get out of your head.
pic related. is it "dunes", as in sand? what's "Andro", is that short for "android"?

last one. "Door Door", is it like "Duran Duran" or something? you don't just put 2 nouns together like that. reminds me of how they called Mega Man Powered Up "Rockman Rockman" in Japan. that's like calling a book "Harry Potter: Harry Potter".

Andro Dunos (アンドロデュノス) is most likely a play on androgynos アンドロギュノス)

Rule of thumb: The more western-sounding a shmup title is, the better the shmup will be.

You're probably just autistic if the title from a 30 year old game has tilted you this much.

I know that it's an onomatopeia for something but the title of this game always makes me go 'huh' when I see it.
