The Fictional Place Game
I say a fictional place. Whoever guesses first where that place comes from (book, movie, song...) throws the next fictional place.

Me first: Zamunda.

23. There were lots of fictional places in that show
Seemingly every other week the guy would swim through a portal to an alternate dimension.

I was 13, and a sucker for sci-fi shows.

I had to pull Robert Preston out my my mind to get Rylos! He was the best thing about that movie.

One bug
One cyborg
One robot

32. no guesses? ok here's the answer...
I don't want to kill yet another thread and I'm going to lunch soon!
...Xiccarph was a world where the writer Clark Ashton Smith set some of his stories and poems. It had three suns and four moons.
