There's a lot of discussion over this & I'm not sure I understand why.  Ask some half way intelligent native English speaker what sounds good and if it's the right size, move on. 
 
The button in Snowie is labeled Go To End and when you scroll over it Finish appears.
 
Depending on the size constraints you're working with I have a preference for Auto Finish but would be happy with any wording, I'd just like the option.

As I already said, I don't care much either way. Regardless of the
icon/name we choose, it will not be immediately clear to a novice what
the button does, so he would have to try it out, read the tool tip, or
read the manual, as he pleases.

The following should be taken into account though if somebody wants to
change it:

1) The function is adapted from a similar snowie functionality, so
icon and name should be familiar to snowie users if possible. I don't
own snowie, so I cannot check this myself.
2) The name should be short to fit the toolbar, and if possible it
should be reusable as an internal command

And any icon we choose to use must be compatible with our license.

So my own vote would probably go to "run game", and keeping the
current icon.

Christian.
