Why did you pick the Famicom? I mean that console looked sweet for its time (1983) If you ask me, the Sega SG-1000 looks uglier.


Exactly.

I mean, look at the American version (the NES). Now THAT is ugly :(.

Which Atari? 2600, 5200 or 7800? I think the 2600 was horrible. But the 7800
looked cool.

Hmm...I think the worst looking would have to be the famicom. Although, the Xbox is also pretty down there. It's looks are analagous to a clunky station wagon or minivan.

Best looking....PS2 and black Gamecube. I think purple is ugly. The Gamecube would have been better had it used a metallic finish in the front port instead of dull grey plastic as well as losing the bulky power supply. The PS2, I like the sharp angular design and it still looks good today.

You mean the 2600? I've seen it before in real life. Boy does it look ugly.

If the Saturn was a tad smaller,then I'd say that it would be the best looking but I like the look of Dreamcast and black Gamecube aswell.
Worst?

Original Mega Drive + Mega CD + 32X = SHIT.

That, and the american version was blue instead of black - very poor choice by SoA. :)
