I like White consoles

>>9133936
Very sleek for its time. Respect.

>>9133868
step aside, ugs.

uhhh, ugly.

this is the shit.

I think mk.2 was beautiful.

>>9133956
these always just looked like Gameboys in waterproof housing

>these always just looked like Gameboys in waterproof housing

Can't unsee it now. Well done. It's still sexy.

>>9133962
I bet if you modded that you could play the hell out of Simon with that joystick.

>>9133868
basically a souped up 8 bit machine

>>9134020
*sigh*
This shit again. lol Look, its CPU is in fact 8-bit, but that doesn't matter because it has a 16-bit graphics chip as well, just like the Atari Lynx does.

>>9133868
Core Grafx is better

This or PSOne

>>9133868

So many variants of this console, i wonder which console had the most variant? probably something nintendo related.

>>9134113
There are like a dozen Genesis variants. Some extremely weird.

>>9134113
Yeah definitely the Genesis/Mega Drive

>>9133965
Mega Nintendo?

>>9133936
Agreed. All my white consoles still work great and look fantastic. Most of my black consoles don't work, require alot of money to support and smell bad.

>>9134220
kek

>>9133868
Pc engine duo looks better

Sega master system or PC engine for me, it's too close to call a winner

>retro design
>that classy wooden paneling
>the tasteful thickness of it

oh my god...

>>9134113
There even one version with only 5 exclusive games, love me some PC Engine but shit is confusing as sin.
>>9133868
For me is either the PSone or the PC Engine with the CD2 add-on.

This is Sears Super Video Arcade, a variant of Intellivision sold exclusively at Sears. Aside from unique posh design, it also features detachable controllers.

>>9133947
this or pic related

>>9134956
This thing looks like it came out in the 60s.

>>9133962
the fact that the joystick can change sides blew me away when i first saw it, not to mention the game storage area. it really is one of the cooler consoles out there

>>9133868
It has a great lineage, but the original in briefcase form is better. Besides, I prefer the colored power switch and disc tray open button of the Japanese version of it a bit more for the first Duo. NEC had great designers for the shells on their consumer electronics.

>>9133868

Perfection

That is such a beautiful machine. It actually looks futuristic.

>>9135565
Well now that we're in the future what contemporary devices does it look like?

>>9133947
Karaoke and xbass buttons disqualifies it automatically.

>>9135218
This is sex, i want to drill a hole in it and put it one of my external male intromittent organ.

>>9135867
I'd just play it but hey I'm not gonna put my values in front of your freedom.

>>9133947
This. Real bubble era shit, full on luxury with lights and a fucking motorised drive you can open and close with the press of a button.

>>9135612
We're in the worst timeline where people are dumb enough to think touch screens are an acceptable user input tool.

The best.

I always thought this was such a cute looking console. Maybe not the coolest around, but the small form factor and minimalist design really appeal to me.

>>9136392
I wish there was a tower case like this for normal ATX mobos

>>9134113
pc engine has the most, but the genesis comes close

pce also had some unique add-on crap back then, like the wireless controller and the subwoofer butt cushion

>>9134372
Were these things a fire hazard because of the wood?

>>9133965
>mega drive
ngmi

>>9133868
I like PC Engine because it is tiny and the system itself is quality with some good games.

>>9134113
Clone Famicoms for sure, but maybe doesn't count since not official

>>9136392
peak bubble era

Much as I love how this looks, it's always felt a bit... excessive?

>>9136409
I like the PSone for similar reasons. The rounded edges make them look so friendly.

>>9133962
My sister had one of these, she always got me to help her whenever she got stuck.

>>9137692
Also, why the fuck did I get a warning for racism for posting this?

>>9134220
I think this is it for me. That or maybe the Loopy

>>9137423
It has an industrial look to it. It's probably the closest thing to a cyberpunk system, especially if you add in the karaoke module.

>>9133868
the only logical answer

>>9137851
>Actual PC Engine controller cable length shown

>>9134956
The right answer.

Although I like the black one more.

>>9133868
The PS4 Pro

Vic20 with OG peripherals was peak crossover of future and past. The white plastic was like something from 2001 and the packaging was beautiful.

Rubber key speccy and peripherals comes in a close second

>>9135198
>>9137869
and pic related was peak console design greatness. 5th generation was great.

>>9138271
Outstanding beauty and power but disqualified.
Not a console.

>>9134030
This. Also, the Master System was a 16 bit console.

>>9133956
based, the expressed is kino

You really expected more from a /tv/ cross-poster?

I never owned one, but I remember admiring the clean symmetric geometry. Probably my first choice.

>>9139753
its spelled KENO dumbass
and thats one of the best portable systems of all time, not a gambling simulator

>>9133947
Nice shelves.

>>9136409
No eject button.
>In the trash it goes.

>>9141305
That's a beauty

>>9136610
You got that backwards. You forgot Mega Drive and its variants never exited production.

>>9138271
LOL, sticky keypad, smelly plastic, thin wavy plastic case. Definatelly peak design from the land of fish and chips.

>>9141486
Funny that, this cheap ass gamepad probably better than a 50$ XB1 controller.

>>9141229
Someone probably did set up a tier list for all to participate. Let me propose some more that would be in the upper echelon.

>>9133868
See, the bit of color on the Japanese one is pretty stylish to me.

>>9133947
Regretfully used mine a lot, so it has a lot more battle scars. Yours is beautifully pristine.

>>9138074
I'm more of the one for the blue accents. It has turbo functionality too.

>>9135180
I own a Duo-R and honestly prefer the original. I always loved how the original PC Engine looked and love how it fits snugly in with the interface unit for the CD Rom. I also love the buttons and LCD display number on it all. It just looks really cool and "high tech" like turning it on requires you to press around 5 buttons or something.

The Duo-R by comparison just looks like a white PS3 in my eyes.

>>9141736
>>9138074
>>9134956
Why do these come in so many colors? I didn't think Nintendo started that gimmick until the 90s with the Game Boy and N64.

>>9141334
They are, aren't they? They don't call me a shelf collector for nothing.

>>9134220
and all the girls would rather play with the black console

>>9137867
The karaoke module doesn't even attach to the side, people just sit it next to the console to make it look as if it does.

>>9133868

wrong version

>>9141736
>the bit of color on the Japanese one is pretty stylish
I agree.
Very nice, anon. Do you still play these sometimes?

>>9142225
Bitches crave Big Black Consoles

>>9141972
Is it the Duo-R or Duo-RX? The logo is on the upper left for the RX and centered at the front for the regular R (and it also determines what kind of default controller it comes with). It is still very beautiful in its "bubbly" appearance, since the weak portion of the regular Duo's design is the "cake edge" wave on the sides which reminds me of the bottom of a US SNES design. As for the original PC-Engine paired with a CD-ROM^2 in the Interface Unit, it is very Japanese in design, opposed to Western design in which having more than 2 fonts is a design faux pas with 3 acceptable in rare cases, the briefcase just blows that out the water with at least 6 different fonts on the system and still being appealing.

>>9142075
To be fair, the Twin Famicom systems are from Sharp and not Nintendo.

>>9143795
The US TurboDuo could be better if it were 2-tone as black-silver, but they went with black, blacker, and silver for a consistent western sensibility of design. I still play most of them when I have the time, maybe not the Twin Famicom since I don't have any disc games and I use a regular AV Fami more often. Lately been playing more Series X just to earn reward points.

doesn't look as good with the Jag CD tho kek

PC engine is the cutest imo
