Favorite Sega Systems Designs

[Gunstar Green]

The Genesis model 1 is a sexy machine. It's like KITT from Knight Rider turned into a video game console.

Bonus points for the Japanese Mega Drive with that big golden "16-BIT" emblem. I love it.

It's got the really rad, futuristic look that lots of technology in 80's sci-fi anime had.

Everything else looked like toys next the the Genesis and the Saturn.

Except the NES which looked like a VCR.

I have to admit, I find every Genesis model ugly.

Agreed. Genesis 1, 2, and 3 are ugly as hell. Things get even worse once you add the Sega CD and 32X.

I love the SMS design. It just screams "80s".

Saturn is a big black beautiful beast.

Dreamcast is sleek and futuristic.

Game Gear is probably the worst of all.

I've always like the White Sega Saturn...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that is a Japanese limited release version?

You mean this guy?

Yes, he's Japanese. I don't believe a white Saturn ever came out stateside.

Yep! Yep! Thats the one!

By the way: The white Saturn isn't a limited release. It's just the Japanese model 2.

Call me crazy but I really like the Genesis Model 3's design too. It's just so tiny and convenient. I have it sitting here on my desk, not taking up really any space at all. I'm not sure if it really counts though since Majesco actually made it right?

It's not the best in terms of hardware, but in terms of case design, the Gennesis 3 is pretty groovy.

I too like the Genesis 3 type compact design.
It's great for Famicom carts as well.

Is that a famiclone inside a Genesis 3 shell?
That's so bad, it's good.

The Model 1 Genesis has a cool off-center look that reminded me of the Millennium Falcon when I was a kid.




Am I the only one who sees it?

Didn't know that. Good to know, Ill keep an eye out for one next time I decide to get a Saturn again.

I'm really simple. I like the compact designs in black.



Genesis Model 2 is just lovely for me.



Seeing all these crazy and colored designs, the USA Saturn is growing on me.



The only non-black Sega system I like is the Dreamcast. I love the default white.



But... I love the black one much more (not Sega Sports one). And I know those are hard to get because they were limited in Japan or something.

I don't have this much money to spend on a system merely for the color, but my gawd, this is a one sexy system.

It is pretty sexy in black

How come you don't like the Sega Sports version? Just because it has the logo on it?
