15 Dumbest Video Game Character Names Of All Time

1. Higharolla Kockamamie (Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge)

Try as you might, you'll never come up with a name as epically f*cking ridiculous as Higharolla Kockamamie, the supposed antagonist of Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge.

Made entirely without Kojima's say-so, Snake's Revenge isn't considered canon, and Mr. Kockamamie is also nowhere to be found in the game itself - despite being a play on former real-world Iranian leader, Ruhollah Khomeini. Instead, Higharolla exists in the original blurb on the back of the box and as part of a few newspaper clippings that promoted the game back in 1990.

In a fun twist of fate, Kojima would later remark:

"One of [my] juniors was working on [Snake’s Revenge] and he said to me, ‘We’re making a sequel to Metal Gear, but what I really want is a true sequel made by you, Kojima-san.’ It’s because of that request that I ended up creating Metal Gear 2 on the MSX2. If Snake’s Revenge for the NES had never existed, then there would not have been an MG2, and there would never have been an MGS for the PS1.”

Without the madness of Higharolla and Snake's Revenge itself, we wouldn't have the Metal Gear Solid franchise as it exists today?

Thank you, Kockamamie-san.
