I was just watching this short review on a well regarded adventure game for the Sega Megadrive. In it you play a male protagonist searching for treasure. I knew about the game already, as well as it's sequel (of sorts) on the Sega Saturn, Dark Saviour. What I didn't know is that it had already received a sequel on the SNES, this time featuring a female protagonist. Now, the original game was called Landstalker, so what do you think they decided to call this female-led sequel? What else, but Lady Stalker!
I suppose the dagger and single high-heeled shoe on the title screen is supposed to represent the female's choice of weapon and footwear:
But it looks more to me like the murder weapon, and a shoe that came off when some poor woman tried to escape the pursuit of the "lady stalker" of the title. I can't read Japanese, but the Chinese characters I can recognise in the text 阻止 (to stop) 男人 (man) 果 (result) and 战 (fight) seem to suggest a rather dark story:
Despite what the less than great choice of title may suggest, it really does seem to just be a game about a lady going on adventures:
Anybody got any other examples of similarly badly named games?
