POLL Sexiness of PAL GRAFX
« on: April 08, 2015, 09:24:04 AM »
Following on from the recent confirmed mod-ability of le PAL GRAFX I'm interested if people love the grey colour. I know I do.

This poll has no real purpose other than satisfying my own curiosity, I just prefer it in grey.

I actually like the gray. It seems to be lighter shade of gray than SuperCD/CoreGrafx.

I definitely prefer the grey over the black...but the original PC Engine design beats everything after it...

i had to call it androgynous. i sure do love the tg16 black & orange... but the PAL is pretty slick, too.  it is like a short haired girl that you check out but don't look too closely/long because you're not 100% sure it is a girl.

We sent our replies at the exact same second.. how scary is that!

I like the color scheme of the TG, but I wouldn't say it's better than the TG-16.

It's the best, but stop spreading the news, or soon the PAL consoles will be gouged too. :P

No, and the lame logo helps kill it. It's not terrible, but it lost all the sexiness that the TG-16 has. When I picture it fully decked out with grey Turbo-CD, grey tap and grey pads... it just feels like a boring European computer/console hybrid that never took off.

I remember the feelings I had during my first proper hands-on experience with the TG-16. The tap felt like R-Type, just like the Express does. It's like a Giger meets Syd Mead aesthetic, built off of the stylings of the PC Engine hardware/accessory line.

Even the idea of a grey Booster on the back physically makes me yawn. Imagine how lame the Express/GT would look in that color with that logo.

I prefer the Orange and Black US logo, it reminds me of Halloween.

The Korean version looks like they used an old cable modem for the case. XD

I prefer the neon orange and black of the US Turbo. Reminds of the late 80s when neon orange, pink, and green was cool along with Vision Street Wear and neon colored Ray=Bans, lol.
