Inspiration has left the building

I'm currently working on Game'88, a collection of mini-games in various retro styles, and also by coincidence my 88th game.

The first game is all but done, it's a keepy upy game using a zombie head in the style of an old green screen game system, naturally.

It's called "Zombie Headers", the only name I could come up with. It's a really lame name, hence this post. We're offering a once in a lifetime prize* to anyone who can come up with a better name, so hit that comment button and save me having to think for myself.

Squize.

PS. Please at least one person post, even if it's shit, as there's nothing worse than a blog doing something like this and no one replying. It's like being alone at your own birthday party.

*Your name in the credits or something, I haven't really put any thought into that either. Let's be honest it's not a real prize as such, that's just a bribe.

Lawrie, that is fantastic!

I think we've got a winner on the first try, that's going to take some topping. Cheers mate.

Are you sure you want to use number 88 in the name of the game?

Don't try to find serious name, people can remember "green brain eaters" more than ...anything serious :)

What a fantastic response, cheers everyone you've blown me away.

A pity in a way that Lawrie nailed it first go, I mean when does that ever happen ?

I might be cheeky and do this for all the mini-games in game'88, and then everyone whose name I use can then of course sue me for a share of the profits, so we're all winners really.

Despite the name already being cracked...

How about:
DreadHead
ZomBall

And that's the extent of my imagination!
