The CDX is hands down my favorite sega console design, and possibly my top overall...

The Wondermega was sleek and nice as well.

I am not a fan of the Dreamcast design, the Gen model 2, and Master System. I like the Saturns, and Gen model 1.

I love all of Sega's console designs, they were the best at designing cool looking systems. My favorite is the Model 1 High Def Genesis. It's sleek and has attitude!

For the Saturn and Dreamcast i'll just let my boy Keith Apicary tell you

And like they crash landed it in a field somewhere And they couldn't drive it home. So they just left it. And then a Sega scientist found it and turned into a video game system. This thing is UNBELIEVABLE.

And then we have the Dreamcast dun dun dun :) I don't know? I don't know, it was probably just a dream that scientists had, and it got turned into real life because of magic.

Mine is probably the model 1 Saturn. The LEDs, oval buttons, & glossy areas make it look better than model 1.

absolutely 100% agreed here. plus that spaceship on the karaoke screen? get outta town.

I actually really like the way the Dreamcast and the Genesis 2 look. I like compact systems. They have a clean efficiency to them.

The SMS has this dated, kitschy charm. It's so hard angled and boxy, the thing just screams "1980s tech."

This and the naming. Wish they'd give some people pointers nowadays.

Only thing I dislike about the Dreamcast is IT'S LOUD.
