What system looks the "best"?
Just wondering which retro system people think looks the coolest. I would want to say Nes becuase I love me some Nes, but that box aint realy got much going for it. So my pick is the old wood Atari 2600. Something about that system is the shit. The lines, the wood, the black, the controllers. All iconic. Classic. Don't get much more O.G. than that. And that makes it awesome. Which system looks the best to you. Why?
In yo face!
Genesis model 2, for sure.

Model 2 MegaDrive is up there yes, but I really like the look of the PC-Engine (American). Jaguar looks great as well.

I always thought the CDX was pretty cool looking system.
Neo Geo.
PC Engine. Very compact and sleek for its time.
Daewoo Zemmix Turbo, PC-FX and the Jaguar are my top favorite looking systems. Handhelds I think the original DS and the Neo Geo Pocket look cool. Now ugliest would go to RCA Studio II and Magnavox Odyssey.

Most PC-Engine revisions are also pretty cool (the different Core GraFX and DUOs)
Turboduo.
Sega Genesis/Mega Drive model 1
It's also great with the model 1 Sega/Mega CD under it.
Supergrafx.
HA HA HA HA HA lol
I am sorry but that has to be one of the ugliest consoles I have ever seen.
This is much more sexy.
I though the first ever cool looking system was the Atari 5200. Then Atari came out with the 2600 Junior which was also nice. The best looking Atari was the 7800 though. Also from that time frame the Master System Model 1 was sleek and highly superior the the boring looks of the NES. The NES had much more attractive cartridges and cartridge boxes though. Even the 7800 had better carts and boxes than the SMS.
From the next era I would say Turbo Grafx 16 was the best looking with the Master System Model 2 (black PAL version) coming in at a close second. Until the Model 1 Sega CD came out, coupled with the Model 1 Genesis and the Power Base Converter. That whole setup just looks sweet and gives you a ton of gaming in a tight little package. The Neo Geo AES, Turbo Duo and JVC X'Eye also deserve a big mention here for looking cool as hell.
Personally I thought the Genesis Model 2 was nothing special, but in this next time period we got a ton of cool looking systems. Neo Geo CD, Sega CDX, 3DO FZ-10 and Sega Saturn were all rad.
After that things started looking rather ugly until the Playstation 2 and regular Xbox. Also the slim PS2 looks cool.
Now I think all three systems look decent. I am not a fan of the looks of the smaller PS3 but the original was smooth. Nintendo finally figured out how to make a cool design with the original Wii and IMO the black Wii is the best looking system out right now.

Black Wii or Genesis model 2.

I always liked the NES Top Loading, very clean design and looked ok in the year it came out.
Las calles no son basurero, POR FAVOR TIREN LA BASURA EN SU LUGAR !!!!
Turbo Duo. That, or the American SNES.
I would go with the laseractive (with a stack of the various pacs right beside it). Also has IMHO the best looking dispay when in use.
When I come home from a long day in Hell, there's nothing I'd rather reach for than a fire-brewed bottle of Styx Beer. Made from the filthiest waters from our own River Styx. Styx Beer is a third more toxic than any other regular beer. The worst beer - the filthiest beer - the deadliest beer. It's Styx Beer!
Gotta go with the Jaguar - sleek lines - comfortable to use and sturdy.
the skeleton saturn is sharp. also P.C.E. Duo, AES.
Gotta go with the Jaguar - sleek lines - comfortable to use and sturdy.
such a sleek design indeed! Comparable to 3DO
