Top 5 Console Names?

[Solertia]

1. Genesis
2. Nomad
3. Saturn
4. Dreamcast
5. Master System

Damn, Sega sure knows how to name a console! Sad that we don't have cool names for systems nowadays. At least "Wii" is original, despite being a terrible name. The others are just "Remember that other console we made? this is it's successor, the [previous console] [number]."

1...neo-geo
2...turbo-16
3...pc engine
4...psx
5...dreamcast

Jaguar - it sounds fierce and feral.
Intellivision - makes it sound like your TV set will get an IQ upgrade just from hooking it up.
Cosmos - Atari's ill-fated handheld, with it's holographic imagery. A name as mysterious and as distant as the console turned out to be.
Adventurevision - 'nuff said.
Laseractive - there's something about the combination of the words 'laser' and 'active' that becomes greater than the sum of its parts.


Honorable mentions go to:
Ultravision
Panther
Vectrex
Astrocade
VideoBrain
Arcadia 2001


DIShonorable mentions for terrible names go to:
Cassettevision
R-Zone
Pippin
RCA Studio II (hey RCA, where's the Studio I?)
Game Boy (just a stupid, childish sounding name)
PlayStation (also childish sounding, but a little more grown up than Game Boy)
FM Towns Marty (an odd collection of words to describe a console)

1. Mega Duck. Most insane name for a game system ever.
2. 32X sounds pretty cool.
3. N64. Something about putting letters and numbers makes them sound cool.
4. Amiga is pretty cool sounding name.
5. Odyssey is a nice name too.


Worst:
Sega CD: It sounds like an acronym for personals. Like it stands for something like Single Experienced Gender Ambiguous Crossdresser. You know if I read something like: "Wanted: Cheap SEGA CD for Role-playing" I'd think: Kinky.

Virtual Boy: Sounds kind of like a sex toy.

Cougar Boy: Definitely sounds like a sex toy.

PSX: I hate it when someone calls a Playstation a PSX or "Playstation eXperimental" it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand-up.

[DOAsaturn]

It seems people are really split on Dreamcast as a name. I happen to love it, very unique name compared to the last couple generations of consoles (sixth and seventh).

Here's my list, in no order

Dreamcast
Jaguar
Lynx
Master System
3DO (I dunno, it kinda rolled off the tongue easy)

[Ro-J]

My list, in order.

1. Master System (simple. powerful.)
2. NES (smooth, flows quickly from the tongue)
3. Genesis (love the "in the beginning..." vibe, although the name should have predated the Master System)
4. Atari (IMO, refers solely to the 2600. Whenever anyone asks if you have an Atari, they mean the 2600)
5. Nomad (...vagabond, call me what you will...)

[Baloo]

1. Genesis
2. Saturn
3. Dreamcast
4. Vectrex
5. Neo-Geo

Everything else sounds so unoriginal. Gamecube, Xbox, Playstation, "X" Entertainment System, Master System, it's all very boring.

You mean like "Neo Geo Advanced Entertainment System"?

[Baloo]

You mean like "Neo Geo Advanced Entertainment System"?

Well, at least Neo-Geo wasn't the company name, lol. It's not as if they named it SNK Advanced Entertainment System, ya know?

And truth be told, I ran out of names after Vectrex.
