Just call it Sword of Moonlight Quest and you are well within the context of parody. Besides. You can't trademark these names, and you shouldn't change what you are doing because of that. There must be at least a hundred games with such world names.
Don't be ridiculous. Even if you remake the structure of the game. You can do so as parody. The names are fine. If Atari doesn't mind reproducing the structure that's fine too. If not then claim parody. Which you can do if you shift the name so it doesn't appear to be a continuation of the property.
EDITED: If you really want proper names for the worlds to use in the script. Then by all means make some up. But don't do that unless you use the original names too. Have some integrity. And last but not least. Never change anything unless you are physically forced to after a long drawn out scandal where you drag the names of said companies through the mud.
