I would have to say it's a toss up between the jaguar and n64.
Turbo fan since 1991 after owning my first system.

-SuperGrafx-16

I got a mixed bag toward that one.

In fact, it does have the appearance of a car engine

The Supergrafx is so ugly it's gorgeous. It's certainly odd looking, but it is definitely an object of desire for me.  =P~

I'm gonna go old school: most of the first and second gen stuff was pretty utilitarian and ugly (i.e. - Odyssey, Channel F, Colecovision, and Intellivision).

No way, those old skool consoles were the coolest! You just can't go wrong with 70's electronics. I'd also like to point out that the Astrocade has the coolest controller ever made.



Am I the only one who thinks the Shuttle Grafx looks awesome, by the way? Some people seem like they were born to absolutely loath it. SuperGrafx rules too, especially in person.

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

I cannot stand hex screws I cannot turn.  If I had a SuperGrafx-16 I'd probably get out my metric allen wrench set and strip the plastic trying to turn those things.  They should have made them real.  Absolutely no excuse not to.  It's like having plastic buttons you can't press or something.  It totally deceives the player and as a result is completely immoral.

Actually, other than the Turbo, I think the Zemmix consoles are awesome looking.

I don't really think any of them are ugly; art is always in the eye of the beholder (or beer holder). I do, however, find the original design of the Xbox to be rather amusing:

I think for the "mainstream" consoles, it is going to be the Jaguar.

What the hell was up with Atari and their terrible joysticks or pads, or whatever they were? You would have thought that by the time the Jaguar came out they would have come to their senses and not made one of their trademark monster controllers with the number pad like a phone. It was just as useless in the 90s as it was in the 80s.
