Same here. It was only "PSX" when you scribbled it on the side of the box it was in or on burned game discs. You gotta differentiate between version yknow.

"Old Nintendo" or "Original Nintendo". Now that I put some thought into it, I think calling it the "Ness" is sort of a last 10 or 15 years thing for me. Post PS/DC emulation discs. I honestly cant remember. I know Video And Arcade Top 10 had some stupid name for it I forget, ACTUALLY as I type this I think Nicolas Picklious was calling the SNES the "Snah Ess" and we all thought he was stupid so never called it that lol. PJ Fresh Phil was the true main host of Video Arcade Top 10.

Anyway I don't remember :|

SNES or NES? Your pic shows one, your text says another. Anyway, where I live:

NES = "Nintendo", but there were also many clones, each one with a name. However, people nicknamed it "little Nintendo" after the SNES came out, to avoid confusion.

SNES = "Super Nintendo", almost always, even nowadays, when spoken, not written. Very few people called it "Super NES" too.
