Worst Names
Sega 32X: Seriously what does 32X stand for any way?
Atari Video Computer System: Too long, and makes it sound more like a computer then anything else
Intellivison: "Intelligent Telivison" while the Intellivison has it's place in video game history, the name is a joke, it sounds more like a teaching tool then a video game system
Colecovision: Putting the company's name infront of vision, is rather unoriginal
Famicom: Stands for Family Computer, known better as the Nintendo Entertainment System here in North America once again the name sounds more like a full fledge computer then a video game console
