We've been through this. Get on with the times. Soul = emotion evoked. It makes only sense when used to compare art. What you're doing is comparing your sense of nostalgia, so it will only be relevant to people who owned the original back in the day before the newer model. Meanwhile if you compare artwork you'd be judging it by its inherent capacity to evoke certain emotions, making it quantifiable regardless of past experience with it.

> 90s Sony
> Not soulless
Sony was the definition of soulless. All of their hardware was usually functional and reliable but also generic as fuck. Maybe that's why I liked the PS game pad so much. It was boringly designed to be a good controller and that's it. But seriously, the playstation was the most soulless console of the entire decade. I owned one because of its game library and frankly the PSOne is actually an improvement.

Nope.
It has a noisy spindle motor. Not nearly as bad as the Dreamcast but the original PSX is almost silent and thus superior.

Totally disagree. The PSone is rounded and fun and playful looking. Easily one of my all time favorite ‘slim’ console designs.

OP posted a picture of the hardware, so I didn't take into account the game library. I give Sony credit for building a reasonably reliable console that developers wanted to make games for. Which, at the end of the day, is the most important thing. But if we're going to compare to other consoles like the N64 or the Sega Genesis, the machine itself just was just kind of plain and functional.

Really? I consider it to be by far Nintendo’s most boring looking console.

soul is the actualization of intention on reality

I think the original donkey kong there has soul because the artist is obviously just trying to think of something fun and made a stereotypical villain (king kong) more approachable by giving him a tie and making him look kind of absent minded

on the other hand I can tell you with confidence that almost everyone who worked at rare didn't even like videogames and just did it as a job like "hey I could do that, I could just make a game like that and get paid for it"

something is soulless in media when you can tell that the creator, from the very first moment even, hadn't decided to do it on purpose but did it for money as a job

Yeah, I think the curves and the different color on the control sockets and such all wind up looking very sleek while maintaining that "toy" feel that the Nintendo consoles always had.

If you want a general overview of good games I'd recommend checking the /v/ recommended games page for the MS:

http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/Master_System

As far as personal recommendations, I mostly play RPGs and platformers so I can only really give suggestions for those. My favourite RPG games on the system are Phantasy Star and Golden Axe Warrior.

As far as platformers I personally enjoy Castle of Illusion, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Shinobi. They all have 16-bit versions on the MD/Genesis, but both versions of each game are different enough to justify playing both imo.

I can't get over how ugly the MSII looks.
it's like you took everything good about the MD/Genesis designs and threw it all out the window, but still imitated the design cues anyway
the original Master System looks like the fucking SR-71 in comparison, slick, black, futuristic

>>4901321
at the time, the PSone design did look a bit lamer than the original
but nah, I'm okay with it now, it retains a lot of the look while being smaller and cuter, which were explicit design goals

>>4901932
Man, I was really tempted to get a PSone and the screen for it at the time because of this shit.
IIRC, the screen cost too much, and I was going to get a PS2 anyway? Something like that.

That's exactly what I'm saying. I had a lot of sony products and liked them all for what they could do and how reliable they were. But I didn't love any of them.
