Super NES Junior

Xbox 360 Slim and Slim 2

>>8968924
The Turbo Duo looks significantly better than this briefcase looking thing.

>>8969036
But the briefcase is so cute, it literally has a lid and handle

>>8969036
I also think the regular TG16 looks better than the PC Engine.

What console would Patrick Bateman put in his entertainment unit?

>>8968924
am i the only one that thinks the everything about the model 2 is better?

i had both as a kid
i have both now (both repurchased)

i never had the model 1 cd but it just looks so fucking weird to me

>>8969036
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

>>8969364
strange take
what about the turbo looks better?

i have both but if i could only keep one the pc engine would be the one i keep anon

>>8969368
An nes or an atari 5200
>>the movie took place in the 1980's

>>8968924
black gameboy micro vs original shitty gba
boom done

>>8969368
he would have computer stuff

>>8968924
Nintendo DS Lite

>>8969369
I think the Model 2 is way cooler as well.
>>8969378
I could see him checking the digits on some 5200 arcade conversions

>>8969364
The Turbo CD add on connects in the dumbest way. All the CD attachments for this thing look dumb. There's no consideration to form factor.

>>8969505
It looks terrible. The various Turbo Duo models are the only decent looking ones of the bunch.

>>8969505
>>8969510
imagine thinking either of these are better than the briefcase

>>8969521
wow cool vcrs!

fuck microsoft
if there was a way to play modern games without windows on pc id ditch those fags forever


>meanwhile m$oft buys up even more farmland to feed the general retarded population even more roundupready crops

The Atari Lynx revision looks a lot better than the original.

>>8969525
I don't. I do however think they're all worse looking than the Turbo Duo.

>>8969375
I like the color scheme better and I prefer rectangles to cubes, I guess. I don't dislike the PCE design but it does kinda look like a piece of hospital equipment to me.

Now, if we're talking about the console + the CD >>8969505 then, yeah, it gets weird. But That was kind of besides the point for me since there was no way in hell I could afford one back then.

>>8969510
I love how this somehow even worse than the American one. Truly impressive.
>>8969526
get the heck out of here you nerd

>>8969530
it looks like a fucking bomb/brick either way
the homebrew scene is surprisingly good if you havent looked into it recently -
but eventually i sold my lynx
the hardware is fragile/ancient & i never had one as a kid so the nostalgia factor isn't there

it is comically large in person

>>8969558
kek cd players were large at the time anon

the shit about bill gates are all true
modern gamers are a blight on this earth & God will punish them accordingly

>>8969558
Not sure if it looks better exactly but the CD-i revision looks a lot more like what you'd expect of a video game console.

>>8969608
ok wait, the cdi and 3do dont count as revisions as they allowed different manufactures to make the systems

and literally ANYTHING would be better than the launch version kek

>>8969510
I still want a Core Grafx 2 to match my Super CD ROM that I hardly ever use since the SSDS3.

>>8969383
anon the ds fat was godtier too
i regret selling mine - i'll probably eventually repurchase a black fatty

>>8968924
Yeah. This lil cutie.

>>8969675
this is godtier
but today i only have the original

is the laser any better or worse on the psone?

>>8969490
>2600, 5200, 7800
>all dubs

how did I not notice this before

>>8969538
I had one of those and sold it and my game collection when money was tight, regret it so much now.

>>8969680
Got a second hand one 6 years ago thats still going even on CD-Rs. That's purely anecdotal though so probably doesn't help.

>>8969701
you can always get another one
its ok to change your mind
its just a material possession anonkun

>>8969702
it does
i think im gonna grab a couple of them and a tiny white crt to match

>>8969703
Regaining it and my collection would now cost likely ten times what I sold it for unfortunately.

>>8969707
Hell yeah

>>8969721
just write it off as inflation
its only gonna get worse anon

>>8969510
>he doesn't like hermit crabs
fuck you buddy

>>8970078
in all fairness, theyre agressive, shell stealers, snail killers, and they bulldoze their tankmates/plants/corals leaving a path of destruction

i still keep a couple on hand as they do clean up scraps and poop off the sandbed

but god damn, as humans we are lucky they dont have gigantism we would be fucked as a species if they were huge

>>8970263
We'd just harpoon their shit. Do they taste good?

>>8969680
They have the best disc drives out of every PS1 model.

>>8970336
i dont eat my pets anon
but they do need names
ive never named any of the crabs over the years

>>8969036
I love the turbo duo and do believe it's one of the nicest looking consoles ever made, but the briefcase is also pretty high on my list.
I think the duo r and duo rx look like a toilet, though. Not a fan.

>>8968924
PSone
PStwo
GBA SP
Game Boy Pocket

>>8969013
Fuck you

>>8969369
The thing I don't like about the sega cd model 2 is that it makes it so wide. Makes it hard to find a good space to put it.
I also prefer the drawer mechanism of the model 1. If you maintain that thing, it's so smooth.
The model 1 is also dead-silent and I like the LEDs it has and how the one blinks for no reason.

>>8969378

>>8970392
Do Hermits live long? Not much point if they go quick.

>>8969013
Slim maybe but the xbone design is godawful

>ctrL-f
>zero results for 3DS

You will never find someone who thinks that sharp-ass fingerprint magnet design was the best design in the line. The only good thing about the original 3DS was how many colors nintendo sold it in, that was like one last hurrah for nintendo releasing differently colored systems (no joycons and docks don't count)

>>8970620
anon i....
will never fucking buy the newer tonka truck looking peice of shit (((new))) 3ds in all my life, how fucking dare you- nintendo even made my OS load like a snail to try and force me to "upgrade" now i boot up, walk away get some snacks and return to play- is that what you want for me?! is it?! huh?!?!

>>8970595
i cant even tell them apart honestly
you cant control the ocean -
these types of animals die seemingly for no reason / or they outlast everything seemingly in defiance of death itself

>>8969564
retro store I went to had one and if you think the Game Gear had a blurry screen the Lynx looks like a Tiger electronics game screen.

the game gear was the best handheld of that generation the only thing is that nintendo had pokemon, contra, castlevania, and tetris. with software like that it was impossible to make more money. Game gear proved itself with games like Ristar and defenders of Oasis... but they just didnt get enough attention.

>>8969510
God, NEC is based.

>>8970643
Now you don't get to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS. Your loss, friend.

>>8970263
Probably the mentality of Japanese game designers

>>8970517
I love what I started.

Im thinking, a webm needs to be produced about this with a VR console spin

>>8970620

>>8969036
Too kino for our time.

>>8969662
Notice it retro like design.

>>8969662
They're like $10 if you get one from Japan.

>>8969378
The book came out in 1991 and it takes place in the late 80s, not too surprising.

>>8970762
fucking jannies

>>8970654
it was also very expensive & used a fuckton of batteries - my gamegear was always dead

>>8970827
its spelled KENO dumbass, and thats the pc engine briefcase super cd addon unit - not a gambling sim

>>8971103

>>8970774
Came here to post this. Pokey with its huge ass screen was delicious

>>8970774
The cheap anodized coating dates it a little, but the GBP is still the coolest Game Boy, GBC included. Exactly the same is true of the Game Boy Advance SP as well.

>>8971475
The early 2000s were a fucking aesthetic wasteland

>>8971514
for you

>>8971740

>>8971475
In highschool some kid in the retard class wanted to trade a beat to shit tribal sp for my mint ags101 charcoal. I wanted to call him a retard to his face so bad. But I didn't because he would've run crying to his wrangler and got me in trouble. Still though I wish I would have, it would've been worth it.

>>8971740

The original Japanese Saturn color scheme is the ugliest of the bunch I think.

>>8969530
I gotta look into this system - I don't know much about it.

>>8971979
Not many people do, and for a reason.
The handheld "wars" were stupidly one sided since the only selling point other companies could come up to fight the Game Boy was a color screen, and that involved almost literally negating the "handheld" framework altogether

>>8971875
It's cool unless it's yellowed. Yellowed grey plastic looks like shit.
But of course, the Japanese white model 2 is the best looking console ever.

>>8971103
>>8971146
fucking kekked
it might be a bot but every once in awhile the keno autist literally makes me laugh out loud

>>8969383
In your hands, this felt like junk compared to the OG. I was never jealous of kids who had the toy-like Lite model.

>>8972594
The OG is the one that fell apart at the hinge though.

>>8972630
that was the lite
stop fucking talking about non retro shit

>>8970340
That's been my experience.

>>8968924
I dunno, do people like PS2 slims?

>>8972631
Not him but my cousin original DS broke off the hinge
I've never seen a broken Lite. but my sample size is super small

>>8969013
nah

>>8969526
>if there was a way to play modern games without windows on pc id ditch those fags forever
As much as I don't want to sound like one of those fags, Linux has actually gotten really good at running games. Only things that don't work are usually stuff with invasive anticheat/rootkits (that honestly I consider to spooky to run anyways). Hell some older games (like Touhou 6) even run better on Linux than Windows.

>>8973451
it is a flawed hinge design and nearly every lite will break in the exact same place over time

>>8973424
The 7xxxx series' look is great. I'm not a big fan of the 9xxxx redesign though. Shiny plastic and getting rid of those ridges was a bad idea in my opinion.

>>8969680
Honestly all ps consoles pre-PS3 had questionable build quality when it was about the laser, base ps1 not nearly as bad as something like Ps2slim but the risks of it going to shit still higher than they should be

>>8973678
My Lite has no cracks anywhere after 13 years, but I guess that's just me.

My original phatDS is a tank though.
