    Even in the 70s and 80s they were coming up with cooler names for consoles, like the Magnavox Odyssey and the Intellivision. Atari named a bunch of their consoles after big cats, though they didn’t live up to their names. At least there was some imagination.

      And yet Atari’s most popular console was just numbers, lol

        “Video Computer System” definitely doesn’t sound as appealing lol

          All three of those were some newfangled words in the 70’s.
