many differ console releases

[scuzzo84]

I find that cool how NEC released many console variations. I havent seen any other console company do something like this.

In the handheld market maybe the game boy...
The advance, the SP, the micro...

The megadrive had it'd feir share to with the multijet, megadrive II, 32X add on, mega CD...

But yes, you're right still nothing like the NEC consoles.

for a while there a lot of systems were getting a remake a year or two before they were discontinued.
Sega Master System ll gets my vote for coolest looking console.

ouch! If you read my post in another thread (I forget where), you'll discover that I think the original SMS design is the kool one, while the SMS II is boring. That's not to say I dislike the SMSII, I'm just talking in terms of aesthetics.

I think it's pretty cool as well to see all of the PCE variations and I agree with Steve about the Master System design totally.

Yeah the original Sega Master System had a very unique design while the second was just a bit bland (I only own the SMS II however).

When I think about console design, most systems are just, blah...either a front loading or a top loading box. Nothing to special from any company really. I mean there have been some sleek designs but I don't think any system yet has Nailed it. The two closests for me would be the Duo RX, which I think is perfectly designed and very nice how it evolved from the original Duo. Also the design of the Playstation 3...which looks very similar in design to the Duo RX. The PC-FX was also a nice unique design as far as console systems go.

But, by far the sleekest, hottest design to me is the PSP. I know its a portable but it is much more than a mere portable. It is one of the nicest looking peices of Tech hardware to come out in some time in my opinion.

I've always like the design of the Sega MarkIII over SMS. But they've become quite rare and expensive on Ebay especially when it comes with the FM unit.

PC-FX design is so badass, I would love to see one in person.

The SMS is my second favorite platform.

Personally, I love the original model and don't really like(I don't dislike it) the second.

I really wish they'd made more Card games.

They should've called them Se-Cards.

The PCE GT/Turbo Express is still the coolest/sleakest/etc... to me(systems in general, not just portables).

Every angle of that thing was given attention and it reminds me of Aliens & R-Type.

Other than 'nailing it' in general, I think it's so cool that a company would dare to put out something like the PCE Shuttle.

^^  CTRL-C & CTRL-P are your friends.

Personally I think the Turbo Duo & original models Sega Genesis/Sega CD combo are the coolest looking.  The PCFX is damn cool too.

[Keranu]

I think you mean "CTRL+V" instead of "CTRL-P", but yeah they are excellent friends.

[GUTS]

Yeah my bad, I always get the two mixed up, CTRL+P is actually print, haha.
