I absolutely hated the genesis 1 aesthetics, including, but not limited to all the goofy text emblazoned on it.

But at least the early Genesis 1 was in high definition.  They wouldn't have put that on there if it weren't true!  I bet it can even do 1080p!

Let me go on the record that model 1 SMS = lovely! (see my initial post for the reasons) while the redesined model 2 SMS = absolutely bland garbage.

Agreed 100%.

yeah! just one of the freakest console designs ever created. PC Motor :lol:

Lets design a car that uses the Super Grafx as the engine. Hey, maybe we could use the TG16+CD as the flux capacitor also so our car can time travel! If that's the case, we better design the car as a DeLorean.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

That's why I liked the model 1 Genesis/CD combo, it looked like stacked stereo components.  Maybe it's because I never had any good stereo equipment when I was young, but for some reason that stacked look was what high end electronics should look like in my mind.

The original Master System was pretty cool looking, I definitely agree.

Master System rocks I agree, but it isn't exactly pretty, but I like it anyway. I only think about one thing when I see one: Ys.  :lol:

OK, I see where you are coming from :). As a peace offering, let me say that Genny+CD definitely succeeded in fostering the image in question  ("stacked stereo components") and I'll leave it at that.

I really am not a Genny hater, despite my earlier tirades :).

I really don't loathe the Genny's aesthetics... I just have fun teasing folks while discussing TG-16's unappreciated qualities :).

Did you know that we had an european turbografx? It was called Turbografx, but without the "16".
It had no aceptation at all and in the early 90s you could find it for about 30€ brand new. Now people pay about 90€ for these.
They include Blanzing Lazers, rf cable, av cable and ac adaptor. And i want one.
IT is like the TG16 but with a lighter colour. go to ebay and look for a picture of it.
I think it looks nicer than the TG16, sorry :P

BTW the PCE looks great, specially if it is clear white and it is not yellowed.

You sure the PAL unit includes Blazing Lazers? Yeah I posted a picture of one here (no that was NFGames) a while ago.

yeah it came with blazing lazers, but people on ebay use to keep them, sell them console and then sell the game for more $$$  :cry:

I see they had the sense to put a game on the cover of the box (yay R-type!)

Unlike the US box...

is that the original box, or is there another? (suprisingly hard to find a TG16 box pic...)

When I first saw the TG16 box with that dude's face on it, I thought it was pretty scary, seriously :D . But now I love seeing it and I really should get a boxed TG16 someday, if only just for that box!

That dude is awesome.  He graces my TG-16 box.  He watches me play games, and he is obviously happy about it.  I mean god damn!

See man, your post is only making me want to get one even more now! :D Really, I shouldn't be spending money on more hardware, especially when I already have a Duo and Express so I can already play those games!

I, for one, think it is hilariously awesome that you want to buy a TurboGrafx-16 in the box just because of that dude.  Granted, he is indeed quite the system-seller.  I'm not sure why he never got his own game.
