We Will Use Wiki Words in the Future: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Mega Man Legends]]'' and ''[[Mega Man Battle Network]]'' have been using the spelling "MegaMan" instead. This is an interesting compromise with the eternal misspelling "Mega Man". More to the point, the BattleChips of the latter had [[Wiki Word]] names, too: HiCannon, AirShot, NoBeam and PoisFace, for example. That last one is an abbreviation for Poison Face, by the way. Apparently we will still have filename length limits in the future also.

* In ''[[Little Kings Story]]'', the king gets a "fanlet" from a peasant which reads:

* Earlier games in general usually had engines that limited the number of text within certain spaces. For example in an early SNES RPG would have something like 'Fire Sword' would have it spelled as 'FireSwrd' or 'F.Swrd'. Although this is something of an inverse since this is now pretty much obsolete in games (as memory and text size increased) except maybe a retro-styled or homebrew game.

* ''[[Aquanox]]'', besides the title (from [[Gratuitous Latin]] for "water" and "night", respectively), has a [[Mega Corp]] named EnTrOx, which stands for "Energy, Transportation, and Oxygen", describing their three main products and services. Of course, the game is quick to point out that no one would actually breathe oxygen that deep underwater, as it becomes toxic at this pressure. Instead, they provide a compound named Helium 17, which allows one to breathe normally at the bottom of the ocean without sounding like a chipmunk. Then again, EnTrHe doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

* In ''[[The Simpsons]]'', Homer asks Marge what to name his website. Her answer: "Compuglobalhypermeganet".

* ''[[Futurama]]''.

* ''[[The Onion]]'' took the fashion of businesses to rebrand themselves with [[CamelCase]] abveviations to the logical extreme with its article "[http://www.theonion.com/content/news_briefs/wamu_files_for_chaplev WaMu Files For ChapLev]".<ref>Washington Mutual files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy</ref>

* A skit by the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy group mocked ''[[Battlefield Earth]]'''s use of compound words. They presented ''Battlezone Planet''.
