After listening to the Bombcast podcast recently my memory was jogged on the subject of codenames for consoles before they were released to the general public.
Whenever we were privy to information on a new console pre-release it would be contained within the pages of CVG or Mean Machines and it may be referred to with an artists impression of what it would look like.
My memory was of these mysterious names that were associated with these 'next generation' consoles.
I've done some digging and have found a fair few of these names but maybe some are not as glamorous as I remember….
