As an American I got what "ghoulies" was going for. Although maybe just fron the "grabbed by" before it providing context.

I feel in the past games where seen super cheezy and bad puns almost was mandated. However I have no patience of lazy pun tagged rerelease.

I'd guess the hypens were added to the name so that people wouldn't assume it was just really bad spelling.

Add sci-fi conventions to the list and how they try to work "con" into the name. Here in Chicagoland we have "Capricon" that took place during the Capricorn astrological period (then it got moved to February).

Made a first person 3D version of ye olde Colossal Cave text adventure a while back. Good thing Yahtzee didn't hang around VR earlier -- the struggles to get "VR"-y puns into titles then were on the level of 3D-y ones, back when things were still mostly 2D. :P
