#3:
I dunno much about linguistics or phonetic alphabet, so those who know either Japanese of Finnish pronunciation (Finnish is sometimes kinda like Japanese, or then my Japanese is just that bad), use that to read the pronunciation stuff (the g may be a bit harder than in Japanese):
Usually I just say "gog"
Then when people show their confusion because it's not an easily heard/understood word, so I say "Gee Oo Gee" (not English pronunciation) immediately followed by "Good Old Games", the latter pronounced in bad English.
Then I usually get lazy and start calling it "goggi" or "gokki" for ease of pronunciation and maximum heresy, and sometimes "gokkom" or "gog piste kom" (piste being dot in Finnish, and the "st" isn't "sute" even if I said something about Japanese).
