Your top 5 most hideous home consoles

[Brad]

To pair with the other thread:

1. Colecovision:

Just look at this pile of crap-


2. The original Panasonic was bad enough but Goldstar's 3do is just horrible-


3. Amstrad (who else?) mad this vile looking device, the GX4000. Never saw one for real but still-


4. I don't hate it as much now but at the time I thought this looked terrible-


5. Didn't mind the original but the Mark II? Eughh!-

Hmmm... All those seemed pretty cool at the time, even the Master System and gx4000.

I think I only dislike the original Xbox, it was such a beast.

Turbografx 16 may be a bit woe, mainly because the originals looked so cool, and with the cd rom attached, was kinda cool.

USA snes though, it's lack or colour buttons did suck the life from the world.

I really like the colecovision and MK1 master system.

Hey, it's ok to be wrong! Lol.

I meant to put the original Xbox in my list. Damn.

I really like the colecovision and MK1 master system.

MK1 Master System looks like the 80s as a decade. I love it.

Ok, my top 5 munters.

Xbox
C64GS
CD32
GX4000
32X

Not in any particular order, I just hate them all.

[dataDave]

Yeah, just like how the MD defines the 90s. I like.

The Xbox. That really was crap.

[noobish hat]

I like both the original Megadrive and the Megadrive 2. The Genesis 3, on the other hand, is an ugly piece of ****.

For me the most hideous designs all come from two companies:

Gamecube: Really nice design apart from that huge, stupid plastic handle. Made it look like a Fisher Price toy, completely ruined the shape and contouring.

SNES: Clunky, childlike and in that horrible white and grey colour scheme. Compared to the sleek Sega machines it didn't look nearly as cool.

PS1: No styling across the unit at all. A mishmash of curves and straight lines that don't gel in the slightest, and cheap grey plastic.

PS2: Hated that horrible corrugated look on the frontage, even if it did have a nice top surface. Loved the slim though.

PS3: The Spiderman font just looked damn awful, plus going for that weird domed effect then cutting out a rectangular piece in the corner was just nasty. And that gloss finish means it collects visible dust 5 seconds after you finish dust it.
