Why not just pronounce it as "more pig"?

because that would just lead to confusion, obviously.

I figured you took that from Yahtzee 
The worst case of fake videogame playing I remember came from the Charlies Angel's remake from the late 90s. There was a scene where two kids where playing Final Fantasy 8 on a Nintendo 64 system, and acting like it was a fast-paced action game. I'm pretty sure all of you can see what the issues are but just in case - FF 8 was a turn based game on the PS 1, and singleplayer only.
Whenever a writer/producer is thinking about adding a videogame moment like ![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
, they should take a sabbatical.

Ketchum's corollary to Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced tactic is indistinguishable from blind luck.
Honestly? I think it may have actually been a parody. The part with the kids playing it like it was an action game is a common gaffe in TV, but the fact that they showed the N64 instead of the Playstation means the setpiece crew must've had some clue about what they were portraying. Dunno if it was meant to be a subtle lampshade or some sort of inside joke, though.
Here's teh urbandictionary page on mumorpeger, in case there is any further dubiety.

I am fine with the old media referencing video games, as long as they avoid the "Cowboy Bebop at his computer" stuff.
When they don't it's utterly painful. Witness that whole fiasco that was NCIS engaging with a mumorpeger that turned out to have been played on a US Navy vessel.
