Biggest Waste of Space

[SPAZ-12]

I opened up my TurboBooster the other day to clean it, and was pretty surprised at what was inside (or what wasn't). First of all I think that the Booster just looks ugly on the back of the Turbografx, but I don't think that I have ever seen such a waste of space in any console or console add on. I mean, what the hell were they thinking?



Does anyone know of any consoles that utilize the space inside of their case worse than this? I think the Chintendo Vii might win, but like anyone's surprised. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wed_bW8iiEw

Of course, look at the PC Engine Core Grafx I or II for instance, they even have AV output buil-in ...

The original Atari 2600's had a pretty big container for a pretty small console (relatively, that is).

Sometimes empty space is to disipate heat. It this case I'm sure asthetics had more to do with it. Someone at NEC must have liked the design.

I already posted this in another thread but here it is anyways. The second pic is an X-ray of a 2600...

The NES cartridges were a big waste of space. Most of them well over half empty.

the nes carts had to be big so you could get em out of the nes

The carts were big because the system was a waste of space also. Look how small the Famicom is.

Not forgetting that the ZIF slot system was a disaster.

The Atari 5200 is huge and it doesn't need to be. There is actually a small bin in the back of it to store the controllers, they make the thing monsterous.
