Is there a game with a title longer than "Fables & Fiends: The Legend of Kyrandia: Book Two: The Hand of Fate"?

Guybrush -- isn't that two titles? I thought Fables & Fiends was Book One and The Hand of Fate was Book Two. (This one is always confusing when we vote in the Annual List.)

My entry in the longest title sweepstakes: Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned.

Here are a few (thanks to Mystery Manor's game list):
- Are You Afraid of the Dark? Tale of Orpheo's Curse
- The Awesome Adventures of Victor Vector & Yondo: Hypnotic Harp
- D.A. Pursuit of Justice: The Gatsby Diamond Jewelry Thief
- Fairy Tale - A Story about Father Frost, Ivan and Nastya
- Last Half of Darkness: Shadows of the Servants
- Leisure Suit Larry - 3 Passionate Patti in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals
- The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes 1: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel

And my personal favourite:
- Aztec: The Curse in the Heart of the City of Gold

Perhaps I should have stuck with my original title:

Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso While Ed Tries to Save the Day in a World Where Reality has Changed

Well, with a little searching online...

on American shores, there's always "The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle Earth II: The Rise of the Witch King"

And in Japan, there's a DS game whose exact spelling depends on the way the kanji are transferred into romaji, but in one version comes out as "Touhoku Daigaku Mirai Kagaku Gijutsu Kyoudou Kenkyuu Center Kawashima Ryuuta Kyouju Kanshuu: Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training"

Which pretty much has to have been deliberate. :/

The manuals for the two Kyrandia games both have FABLES & FIENDS on them.

Ahh. Thanks Guybrush. (Did they want it to be confusing? lol Or did they anticipate attempting to beat out Touhoku Daigaku Mirai Kagaku Gijutsu Kyoudou Kenkyuu Center Kawashima Ryuuta Kyouju Kanshuu: Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training for the longest game title?)

On IGN, it states the title as: White Princess the second ~ Love Adventure in the School That Follows the Principle of Convenience, Where It's Okay to Stray From the Path or Stay on the Path." lol

I have the old release of the Kyrandia series in front of me right now. It is three games. Book 1 Fables and Fiends, Book 2 The Hand of Fate and Book 3 Malcolms Revenge. Three separate games. Hope that clears it up.

Wikipedia lists the English translation of the game's title as,

"Tohoku University Future Technology Collaborative Research Center's Professor Ryuta Kawashima Presents: More Brain Training For Adults - DS Training"

I don't know every word in the original title, but it's at least half-accurate, so I'm willing to believe the rest, too--with the caveat that they've changed the name "Kawashima Ryuta" to "Ryuta Kawashima" so that the family name would be at the end.

In the US it was released as "Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day!", probably to make sure the title would fit on the tiny DS game box.

According to IGN, "White Princess the Second [etc.]" is actually another game whose Japanese title is "White Princess the second ~ Yappari Itto ni Ittemo Soujyanakutemo OK-na Gotsugou Shugi Gakuen Renai Adventure" rolleyes

I have the first two and the manuals give them both the title FIENDS & FABLES.

Now I have to find the third one.
