For some reason I got that naming convention mixed up, and forgot that the -800 was NG while -8 was MAX. The 737-200 is one of the first-gen 737s, and still active today, though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737#737-200

Sibling comment got it, but I was thinking about the MAX 200/737-8200, which is a variant of the -8 that has more exit doors and therefore can have a higher seating density.

Totally agree that the model numbers are confusing, though (obviously).
