    Another awesome black system is the Genesis 3. Very nice little console.

    Best: PsOne, 2nd gen Genesis. Both beautiful in their simplicity. I also like the 1st gen SMS.

    Worst: The SNES. I'll never undesrtand why they changed the Super Famicom's cool design to that thing. The NES is kinda ugly, too.

    I remember hearing that people were complaining that resting drinks on the Super Famicom caused damage to the system in Japan so they destroyed the design to make it less drink friendly and more unevenly shaped on top.

    On the other hand, the Famicom-to-NES redesign made the system much more easy for one to rest a glass on...

    Oh the irony. Never noticed that one.

    The N.E.S was pretty ugly too, like the Super Nintendo.

    Few people have complained about the Virtual Boy which surprises me

    My favorite looking console is the Neo Geo CD. Big and black and nice looking controller with different colored buttons. I like the thumbstick myself. The cosole doesn't look as awkward as the skinny Neo Geo AES, taking normal sized cds instead of humongous cartridges. Apart from the hardware the games' graphics just look excellent

    My least favorite looking console is the RCA Studio II. Beige and brown? No controllers? eww. Apart from the hardware being ugly, the games only being black and white makes this system lose in that category as well.

    As far as the common systems go, they are just such a usual sight to see I can't say which ones look better than others. I had to pick more unusual systems.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    There's a ton of Famiclones that ape this style, too.
    And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?

    Like AVGN said, it looks like a toilet.

    We've all been saying it looks like a toilet since long before AVGN was around.

    I find the original GameBoy to be kind of ugly. Not just in casing but in its pea green screen.

    If I remember there was a commercial from Sega on the Game Gear. It basically compares the Green monotone screen to eating pickled pigs feet.

    It wasnt that bad but still. Horrifying green color on everything. It was kind of depressing. Thank god the GameBoy pocket made it grey/white.

    I think you're conflating two commercials. One commercial called it "creamed spinach color" (as opposed to the Game Gear's full color). Another showed a hick family entertaining themselves with a bug zapper (with the narrator comparing it to the Game Boy), ending with, "then again, some people like pickled pork lips". These commercials were pretty clever, but obviously their impact on the Game Boy was negligible (if existent).
