You can't go wrong with something that looks like a cold war era ICBM launch console.

good
>>12714826
alright

It's this. Talk about sleek. This baby is a Porsche, from the subtle curves to the four controller ports. As you can see, the Game Paks connect through the slot on top of the unit as the Super NES and the charcoal finish looks as sophisticated as the Silicon Graphics Inc. technology hidden inside. It's the perfect balance of power and beauty which, incidentally, is what the Nintendo Ultra 64 delivers more than any other game system.

If its not the default color it doesn't count. You can color anything nicely and make it look rad

I think >>12714826 is objectively the correct answer but I will always have a soft spot for the Vectrex, even if it is just a black box.

Launch Grey Japanese Sega Saturn, very sleek and futuristic without being tryhard like the Atari Jaguar.

Super Famicom or PAL Snes, cool aerodynamic look. I've never seen a USA system but they look good in pictures.

Dreamcast, look how cool that spoiler is at the back.

Atari 7800, nice brushed aluminum.

For a handheld I really had to give it to the Sega Gamegear, if you have one just hold it closely and just take it in the incredible industrial design and proportions. A screen that small should look a clown console like the Osbourne computers but it just looks right.

others
Megadrive 1. plastic is too shiny but I like the look because of the games it represents
N64 not a fan in stock color but its grown on me, controllers feel like cheap plastic compared to SNES
ps2. crackheads dvd player in 2009
Intellivision. Pretty crappy really.

>>12716339
I wonder what it felt like to pay $500 for this and then the ps1 comes out next year.

>>12714851
The plastic is not that good of a quality, its like the PCE duo.

>>12716289
So thats how big a Wondermega is, I always pictured it as much smaller

>and pcengine mini turned out to be a fucking retropi and doesn't matter anyway because it was never rereleased after the coughs
truly the worst timeline
>>
>>12714826
This was what I was going to say. I’m a 64fag but as far as aesthetics go I think the Model 1 Genesis is the best looking.
>>
>>12714816
Who the fuck is looking at their console? Watch the screen, you casual.
