ATT has a page called http://allthetropes.miraheze.org/wiki/Magic_Ampersand]Magic Ampersand - it's a list of all those "[Something] & [Something Else That Usually Begins With The Same Letter]" game names. It's also a mess; as of when I started this thread, it looks like nobody's ever done any copy-editing on it. So, I figured: as long as I'm going to clean up the page (unless Bob beats me to it), I may as well make sure I've got all of the notable titles that fit the scheme...

And these made-up games:
And these webstrips:
(I probably missed some, since the page is in such a mess.)
What's missing?
