Hey the good old 2600 is some slick stuff, don't be hatin' it. I miss old electronic styles :( .

Damn straight!  Plastic wood grain is superior to Mac white on everything, or worse - crappy silver paint (if you want the look of aluminum, use aluminum).  I don't miss the gold anodized aluminum that was popular back then though.

It's certainly miles above the Jaguar.


Hey, the Jaguar core system was AWESOME looking, but the controllers and CD attachment are examples of SHIT design...

I will agree with you on the Shuttle,

EDIT: NVM, the CoreGrafx grew on me with it's sleekness, but the CoreGrafx CD-ROM is about as bad as the Jaguar's...:

Oh and, did Sony KNOWINGLY rip off the Turbo Duo when they made the PS3?

It ain't beautiful, but at least the Super CD-ROM doesn't look like a toilet with the lid up.

I think Sony used the Duo as inspiration for the appearance, but they used the PC-FX as inspiration for size.  PS3s are pretty chunky, yet there's no comparison to the sheer awesomeness of the PC-FX.

Ah, no actual DUO comparison though. :(

This is gonna get me lynched on a PC Engine board, lol, but I actually like the way the FM TOWNS Marty looks compared to the PC Engine DUO-R.

However, PC-FX is DEFINITELY cooler looking than the original FM Towns:

Powerwise, I wonder how these compare... I think the PC-FX might be more powerful?

I think there is something quite cool about the Super CD-ROM; but I can appreciate it's not to everyones liking.


I think the Core Grafx II goes quite well with it.

Haha, damn that thing is huge!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Yup, it's the hunchback of the console world.

If it was cheaper and cooler looking...

Blasphemy!

I don't have a problem with the design/shape of the system, but the Masters of the Universe playset plastic they used for the shell makes it feel cheap(especially in that shade of grey). The Jaguar would also look and feel better in a different type of plastic.

I would've prefered something sturdy/harder like the Genesis plastic. Maybe if it didn't feel like a half empty shell it'd make a difference... anyways, I do like the look of it from at least a short distance.

That core grafx II set up is really growing on me  :clap:

My current 3 favourite consoles.  I'll always love the original white pce and Victor's v-saturn.  The 360 however.. man thats one noisy beast not to mention it has an erratic life span..but the games!  really diggin oblivion and phantasy star universe!

The PS3 looks absolutely nothing like a Duo, I don't know what people are thinking when they say that.  A George Foreman grill, yeah, but not a f*cking Turbo Duo or any other system for that matter.  That's like saying the 360 was inspired by the white Saturn since they're both white and have smooth curves.

Kitsun, I like the look of the FM TOWNS Marty as well... but it has a more industrial aesthetic, whereas the Duo R is elegant and softer. Both designs are great, though. FM TOWNS Marty looks like it could be a prop in a sci-fi film from the mid-late 80's, which is a good thing :).

Yes, that is my most recent hardware addition... I got it over a year ago, but I actually *like* the way it looks. Of course, I don't think it is the most elegant design. Part of its appeal is that I don't know what to make of it. I do enjoy the deep vertical design, since it doesn't waste valuable shelf space.

It wasn't?  :P
