Every time I think about Times of Lore or Lands of Lore, I have to double-check my memory to make sure I'm thinking of the right one.
Also, Bust-a-move and Bust-a-Groove tripped me up for awhile, not helped by Bust-a-Groove actually being called Bust-a-Move in Japan.
And then there's the hilariously convoluted Wonder Boy/Monster World/Adventure Island thing.

You mean the convoluted Wonder Boy/Monster World/Adventure Island/Dynastic Hero thing.
Westone did something similar by releasing a sort of modified version of Riot City as Riot Zone on the TG-CD, but since both sucked, they didn't make any sequels to complicate things.

I have no idea.

TimeSplitters, Time Stalkers and Time Crisis. I played a lot of arcade TC but could also never remember the name correctly.

"Have you ever played Neverwinter Nights, the 1991 DOS Gold Box MMO?"
"You mean the 2003 RPG?"
"No, the 1991 DOS MMO."
"The 2013 game?"
"..."

Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy III.
In Europe, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Legend.
Oh, and before I move on from Final Fantasy, I should mention that when I was a kid, I was really confused by Final Fantasy, Final Fight, and Fatal Fury for some reason.
"Kingdom Hearts Mobile" could refer to any of four games: a game put out by Verizon, a software hub put out by Square, a casual way of referring to the original KHcoded, or to the current Kingdom Hearts smartphone game. Oh, and that last game has gone under two, sort of three titles of its own.
Dragon Quest/Warrior, Dragon Buster, Dragon Slayer, Dragon Spirit, Dragon Scroll (god, what is with the "Dragon S." pattern?), Dragonstomper...

I've seen multiple people mix up Wild Guns (an over-the-shoulder Cabal-like shooter on the Super NES) with Wild Arms (a JRPG on the Playstation).

The 5 different games just named "Ninja Gaiden"? You pretty much have to specify every time whether you mean NES, X-Box, Master System, Game Gear, Arcade...

Oh a new one. Dragon Ball: Butoden series (the retro fighters) Budokai series (made by Dimps) Budokai Tenkaichi (made by Spike Chunsoft) Oh, how about the Atelier series? I know I own at least two entries but I’d have check if they are Iris o Shallie or Totori or Meruru or Kokori or Chocobo or Banana Manana Usama Obama Panini Al Pacino Subaru Dorito.... I really can’t tell them apart. Only their subtitles give it away how they are organized. I don't know off hand which ones start a trilogy and what ones end them. |
