What system looks the "best"?

[The 1 2 P]

Amstrad CPC 464 (GX4000 model)

I have never seen this system in my life before. Right off the bat I'd say it's either really cool looking or really cheap looking. Probably both.

Wondermega

I definitely like the look of the X-Eye more but this one is still cool looking as well.

So is the 360 .

The 360 Looks like a giant maxipad with lights on it.

it must be intresting living in bizzaro land where the SGX is seen as a thing of beauty and Hydlide is looked at as a good game.

Look, just cause you cant get 3 screens into Hydlide doesn't mean it's a bad game!

and, any consoles resembling space ships/etc automagically win <3 points with me.

The Super Grafx is a giant space dock waiting for the awesomeness of Aldynes to come dock itself.


I like the PCE Shuttle too!



also, yeah, the Dreamcast kicks ass.

I like the vader 2600s and the AES

Wow, after seeing that I have to change my opinion a bit. That thing is beautiful!

[ConsoleAddict]

A lot of those consoles designed in the 20th century aren't too sexy. I do think the "Darth Vader" Atari 2600, the Sega Saturn and the 2nd Sega Genesis are very attractive looking machines.

I also love the design of the Japanese Super Famicom/European SNES. Our SNES looks cheap compared to the foreign one.

The SNES Mini looks better than that ugly brick too.

[otaku]

no love for the neo geo aes?

[Robocop2]

I always thought the AES was just too plain given what it was supposed to be.

My vote goes to in no particular order:
Vader 2600 all the clean looks of the VCS without that hideous woodgrain
Jaguar (sans CD attachment) I just always thought it looked really futuristic
Model 1 Genesis but that may just be nostalgia talking
JP SFC/European SNES always looked better than the US model

i beat hydlide, it was a terrible experence.

i honestly am suprised by the love for the SGX. i honestly felt it was one of the most hideous things i have ever seen. i do however find the super cdrom2 unit pretty sleek.

Look around in this thread. It's getting as much love as Sega systems here!

[Canadian Psycho]

I love the look of many consoles, but my two favourites are the Super Famicom/European SNES (which I don't have) and the PS2 phat (which I have).

[Canadian Psycho]

Sega Genesis/Mega Drive model 1

It's also great with the model 1 Sega/Mega CD under it.

That too.

[MarkM2112]

Atari 5200. Without a doubt. I always had a weakness for the black w/ chrome look.

[Ed Oscuro]

The 360 Looks like a giant maxipad with lights on it.

So it's a thing of feminine beauty. (You're trying too hard...haters gotta hate.)

The PC Engine series has its own range of monstrosities. The SGX may have been designed to look like a high-performance engine, but inside it's really a moped.

The Amstrad CPC 464 looks like something I'd drop on the floor at the thrift and not bother picking up. Actually, I'd probably be looking for the V-Tech logo.

Look, children! The Pikachu has molted and left its shell!

Thumbs up!

[duffmanth]

I always liked the SNES and PSone.

Amstrad CPC 464 (GX4000 model)

Those Amstrad gamepads look like they could be pretty good replacements for the standard Master System gamepads.

[alec006]

The model 1 Sega Genesis with the model 1 Sega CD and 32X. Now your playing with power...30 Volts & 3 amps worth...my god. Ive always liked it because it just looks like a tower of enginerring...that uses 3 large bricks...grr :P

Ummm....yeah...


PC-ENGINE SuperGrafx system specs:

CPU: 8-bit HuC6280A, running at 1.79 or 7.16 MHz

GPU: multiple GPU setup. One 16-bit HuC6260 Video Color Encode, two 16-bit HuC6270A Video Display Controllers, and one HuC6202 VPC.

Memory: 32KB of work ram and 128KB of video ram.

Six PSG audio channels, programmable through the HuC6280A CPU.

Funny how one of its earlier titles, the port of Daimakaimura, managed to curb stomp its Mega Drive counterpart without even trying. It hadn't even begun to use its power before the systems support was snuffed after 1941 Counterattack was released. If you want to knock it for something, at least do it for something valid, like lack of a library of titles. Weak hardware it most definitely was not, as the Pc-Engine hardware itself was already no slouch. The Supergrafx added some nice upgrades to that already proven hardware spec. The fact of the matter is the Super Famicom proved to be a bit weaker hardware wise then NEC had anticipated, so they did not need the Supergrafx to combat it, as the basic Pc-Engine and Pc-Engine Cd system hardware was easily holding its own on the market. The MegaDrive was already soundly beaten and clearly not a concern.
