What names do you have for your portable projects?

I'm now working on a NES based portable (having a break from the CRT Atari) and I've decided to name it after two of my favorite NES games, Mike Tyson's Punch Out and Donkey Kong.

It's called "Donkey Punch" I think it has a nice ring to it...

Anyone else have any interesting/quirky names for projects?

Or possibly SixtyPourFour :p

Well, my next Atari will be called the "Atari 2600 MICRO", because of the overall size I know how to hack the PCB. And my NOAC Will be called "The Nintendo Cart" Because I want it to be roughly that size...

Well done! I wasn't expecting anyone to notice that straight away!

I thought the pun "Has a nice ring to it" might've given a clue.....

I am being serious though - that's the name!
I've got an old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy which has a huge head which to me could also be used as a novelty portable housing. I could call that "The Turtle's Head".....

Actually, "secret" sounds like a cool name!

I'm just wondering how many people have done a search on Google for "Donkey Punch"

Mind you, there's a lot of names for Nintendo portables/clones that sound like some sort of dodgy German gay porn:

Game Boy
Hot Boy
Joy Boy
Magic Boy
Power Joy
Super Joy

Wonder if there's ever been a demand for rental game boys? They could call it the Rent..........

Why not just add p at the end of the console name?

Perhaps somebody should come up with a list of words you can add to create a portablized system name.

I'll get ya started:

Mobile
Portable
Module
Unit
Frankensteined
Redesigned
Re-oriented
Original
Compact
Transportable
Weildly (Imagine that! A WNES)
Versatile
Mini
Re-released
Hacked-Up

And Now make amusing acronyms using these as prefixes/suffixes:

The Compact Original Weildly SNES. Or the "COW SNES"
It could be a rather amusing game! Make your PG-13 or less portable acronyms!

Sounds like a very interesting game!

I was thinking the Compact Unit Nes Transportable.........
