Too Many Isotopes
It's over 20 years since the game 'Critical Mass' came out, and it's not well known in any case (AND it had very little to do with nuclear reactions). Why don't you call it that instead? It's a cool name. A meltdown isn't caused by too many isotopes. It's caused by too many neutrons. You may call it 'Too Many Neutrons' if you wish, but I'll feel like you're biting my style from 'Too Many Ninjas'. All those are excellent ideas, but none form the acronym T.M.I. (I was hoping someone would catch it). The near-partial meltdown at Three Mile Island happened just days after The China Syndrome came out, which is the movie that prompted the old Atari game that this game is based on. By the way, in a nuclear reaction, "too many neutrons" would indeed cause "too many unstable isotopes." Nevertheless, this game isn't exactly scientifically accurate.  |

If nobody catches your obscure acronym double-entendre, then it's a sign your obscure acronym double-entendre is too obscure.
Call it 'Three Mile Island', or go all eminem and call it 'Three Mile.'

I suppose that would make it a "triple-entendre." A lot of people, however, did call Three Mile Island "TMI." |

You could call it 4.828032 km.

These days, that stands for 'too much information'. Anyhow, just call it 'Critical Mass'. More people will play it. |

That sounds too much like You Have To Burn The Rope to me. |

Make it The Buster Drake Chronicles: Series 4, Episode 6: That episode where he descends into hell and fights satan with a machine gun and you've got pure awesomeness. |

I have a new idea for a game: Eight Mile Island, a game about a kid who wanders into the Exclusion Zone by accident and gains RADIOACTIVE RAP POWERS. |

But that was already an existing game. I don't want to steal another game's name. I have a new idea for a game: Eight Mile Island, a game about a kid who wanders into the Exclusion Zone by accident and gains RADIOACTIVE RAP POWERS.
So this kid will cause not only the death of music, but also the deaths of hundreds of people by radioactive poisoning? |

I would download that almost instantaneously. If screenshots made it look really, really bad I might think twice. Oh, and Akhel: Why not change it to Series 2 Episode 5? |

OK! I would definitely get this game solely because of that title, or some further advancement of it. A more generic title probably would have meant I'd give it a miss.
This is probably an example of the "Snakes on a Plane" phenomenon.

Come on, it's a game from 1986, with no similarity at all to your design, which almost nobody played. If you're going to limit your choices that much, you'll have to call your game ' 39!!!2@fggb#7&2bo8298 |
