Best Super Grafx Game !!!

Why do some people not think the Super Grafx is the ugliest thing in the world? I need five explanations.

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

You can't really compare FM Towns to the PC-FX since it is a PC - which comes in many variations. But the later FM Towns computers are a lot more powerful than the PC-FX (I believe the final FM Towns had a Pentium 90MHz CPU).

Blind fanboyism, horrible taste, the belief that "if I close my eyes it's not so bad", the fact that it looks like it can be used as an extreme Korean sex toy, and it's rarity.

Otherwise I'm as confused as you are.

1. ) It's completely original.
2. ) It's shaped like an engine.
3. ) The SUPER GRAFX font kicks ass.
4. ) Nice shade of grey.
5. ) Your opinions suck .

2. ) It's shaped like an engine.

I can't believe I never noticed that. It's even cooler now.

ahh man, such SGX haters.... SGX for the win!

Keranu sum'd it perfectly. The SGX design totally kicks ass. And I agree about the font - pure sex 

Cosmetics aside, I love it for it's insides too. Programming the beast is pure delight

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.

The PS3 is similar in shape to the Duo R/RX, but instead of a cheap lid style CD door, in the exact same place the PS3 has a motorized drive door.

The PS3 doesn't look much any other console.



   


At the very least, its pretty freaking far from "looks absolutely nothing like a Duo".

Have their been many other instances of consoles from different companies looking so similar?

[FM-77]

HA HA HA! That Saturn pic is hilarious!

[Keranu]

I too think the PS3 shares a little resemblence of a Duo. Not a flat-out rip off or anything, but the clam shell shape definitely sparks some similarity.

[Kitsunexus]

If you removed the middle ridges on the top of the DUO, and you raised and contoured the other ridges,  BOOM, PS3.

So it's a rip-off that's been slightly modified to not be as obvious.

[ParanoiaDragon]

Actually, the 3DO FZ-10 always bares a resemblance to the Duo, moreso then the PS3, since it has a door, rather then the cd ejecting out.
Copy & paste, as I am retarded!

Seldane, for the record, put me in the Keranu / Bonknuts camp:

Seldane, honestly, how can you NOT appreciate the sheer originality of the SGX? Even if you think it is butt-ugly, it is hard to ignore the interesting design concept and well-executed results. The aesthetic problems with SGX arises when you have to attach peripherals: when you're hooking up a CD-ROM drive, the entire concept falls apart and looks like a hodge-podge of components.

Now, I like hodge-podges, but I'm in the minority .

I can see how people could find the SuperGrafx ugly, same as most consoles.

But I grew to appreciate the design after the shock of the huge size wore off.

So how does it look when connected up to a Super CD-ROM²?

I think the Super Grafx looks rather interesting, but whenever I see one I'm disgusted by it. It reminds me of something taken out of a junkyard. Something dirty. Something I would never touch (kind of like that Shuttle that 16-bit sent to Black_Tiger). It might be that particular shade of grey that does it.
