3DO M2, sexiest system ever.. it's a shame that it was never released

The Genesis Model 1 is always the best looking console for me. It's got that cool 80's sci-fi computer look to it. That and it always reminded me of KITT from Knight Rider.
I like the Dreamcast but I can't look at it without seeing a cat head (use the buttons for eyes, the controller ports for the mouth, follow the lines up on the sides for the pointy ears). I may just be incredibly weird though.
I own a wood grain light-sixer VCS and a Darth Vader 2600. I generally use the light-sixer for playing games because the switches on my Darth Vader are messed up (need to look into fixing them somehow). While the wood grain is classic 70's tech, I always thought the Darth Vader looked sexier too.Quote:

Duo R.
If 32 bit consoles were retro I'd say the Saturn, JP white followed by US black.
Then this lovely creature would also be in the mix.

The Playstation HDD/DVD Recorder.
32bit consoles are most definitely retro.
Nope. 3D's not retro. Unless generated by something that plugs into a MD.Quote:

edit = @ Waterfall: the PSOne's a good choice, I shouldn't have overlooked that.
I am personally offended by game consoles in the shape of a shoe box. They should all look like space ships, or space age equipment or not exist at all.
Uh... What?Quote:

Not my favorites, but definitely on the top of great console designs.Quote:

It depends which games those are, or to put it another way, how you would normally group arcade games amongst generations as during the 8 and 16 bit eras arcade machines were a generation ahead of home consoles. And if you're alluding to the 2D fighters those are still in fashion even if some are 3D modeled so it would be silly to exclude them. So are 2D shmups though bullet hells are quite a different breed. Anyhow I get your point but naming the 32 bit era after its relatively niche 2D selection would be like calling the SCD an arcade console just because it has a few racing, lightgun, and shooter games on it.Quote:
