best/worst (looking) retro console and cartridge....

[neilencio]

I like the 90s console designs. There's a gundam-y feel to them, both in the shape and the color schemes. The last and current gen's designs though, seems kinda dead to me. I like the games and all, but the hardware kind of feels lifeless. They look just like random electronic appliances. Like a refrigirator.

Best looking for me



Second favorite



Worst console

32x on top of Genesis/Sega CD. Alone they look fine.



Favorite cartridge is SNES. Cartridge fits in nice, get to see all the artwork, and SNES has end label.

Worst cartridge is probably atari jaguar. Weird shape, no end label.

Favorite controller is Sega Saturn/Genesis/SNES

Worst is Colecovision,

I am alone in this view so far, but I always thought the US counterpart was more attractive.

Apparently there are thee of us in this thread so far (including myself). Don't feel so alone!


I like it!

I won't combine these because they are *slightly* different, but we did just do this a few months ago:

What's up with all the Turbografx hate? I don't think it's bad looking at all.

personal worst:

I actually like the way the way the TurboGrafx-16 system looks. With the CD add-on though, it's god awful! Whenever I see one, I think about picking it up, but I know I shouldn't because I would really want the CD add-on, so it's best to get a PC Engine Duo/R/RX. But I do like the was they look without the CD drive.

The PC Engine looks cool too, but I don't like the white system. Always looks dirty in picutres. And unlike the TG-16, the CD add-on doesn't look bad at all.
