ITT: misnamed consoles/games in your country

Around late 90's video game craze finally reached my country at full force. But %90 of market belonged to the NES clones (most popular being micro genius and game star I think).

The funny part is we called all video game consoles "Atari" although I've only seen 2 Atari 2600s when I was a kid (this might be due to the fact we lived in the poorfag parts of the country)

At some point that I don't know Atari became the generic term for "video games". We even called arcades "Atari salonu"(roughly means "atari center")

Even now if you show an xbox one to an old lady she'd probably call it "an atari"

And what did we call actual Atari: Kara kutu ("the black box" like those you'd have on a plane). If you google it you'd get images of a few atari 2600's among some flight recorders.
