brainwane, 19 days ago I was just bragging to a pal about this: a few years ago @leonardr wrote a series of interesting blog posts about the titles of video games and what they do and how. https://www.crummy.com/2009/01/31/0 is the first post & links to the rest. He later gave a presentation about it at Penguicon 2017 - slides at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1wpRXVx73Zl3LlW4ZLkIALb68Wi5TflwpMCDzYa5pNmE/present include some insights from titles he imagined while writing "Constellation Games". Also, his investigative journalism regarding "Spacewar!" https://www.crummy.com/2013/02/02/0
