G-type | 2,800 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) The systems that jump out to me as having some level of visual interest in their industrial design are the 2600 woodie, gameboy pocket, Sega Master system (I like that pop of red).. The NES is nostalgic, but I don't think its particularly attractive. The Gamecube lunchbox is pretty neat too.

RH | 5,212 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I think you could argue that all of the GBA models hold up well. The OG may need backlighting to be usable this day and age, but just looking at the design, I still think it's pretty sharp. The clamshell AGS's are pretty nice too and perfect for putting in your pocket. Then there's the GBA Micro. Such a beautiful master work. Small, but beautiful nonetheless.

I already mentioned the 2600, but this is what I specifically mean. There are only about 4-5 2600 commons I want, mostly from my childhood. Regardless, I still need to get a good conditioned heavy sixer and 95% of the reason is so it can be shelf candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonwarrior83 | 16 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I have to agree the turboduo does look sleek. I always liked the clear see through consoles and the colored N64 consoles myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Soldier | 24 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 The N64 is one sexy beast along with the Sega Genesis Model 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcaz | 6 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I just recently got a Famicom and I absolutely love the look of it. It doesn't blend with modern technology but the small, compact design with the controllers docking on the side looks wonderful. I'd also agree with the model 1 Sega Genesis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot | 6,027 Events Team · Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 2600. Wood paneling has never gone out of style! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer | 2,042 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Saturn Model 2 is very sleek. I know we're talking just looks but it had a dedicated CD player that allowed you to listen to the OST of any game you put in, it allowed you to launch the game after listing, and you could go back to that home menu before opening the disc tray and playing another game. I think that adds a layer to the sleek design. The controller stood the test of time. The only other directly competing controller would be the GCN considering the Sega Saturn controller is a default fight pad while the GCN controller has hung around through the generations as well. The Saturn 2 just has sleekness dripping out of it. You gotta keep it on a towel or wipe it down before setting on wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 While not the best system iteration functionally, the Gameboy Pocket is probably the most attractive design of that entire system series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALTQQ | 87 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 N64 looks like something that you could buy today. I love SNES but the console isnt the greatest looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't for those funky LED colors, I would think the Wonder Mega was the most awesome looking system ever made. Agree with both of these choices. I love the Duo R/X as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austin532 | 469 Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 I originally wanted one since I grew up on the NES and SNES but after I saw what the Playstation could do and the type of games it was getting, I was sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
