I was thinking about this lately, but I always loved the look of the PS2. I I think the black and blue color scheme works really well. And I like the two levels like the top and the bottom part of it.

Second to this, I think the Dreamcast looks really great. The angles on it make the console look so compact. The orange light on the console is placed really well too.

What do you like?

The PC Engine is definitely a contender. Looks like something from the set of Star Trek TNG, takes unique little cards, and is extremely tiny* and compact. (particularly for a system that was ahead of its time) I think it’s neat!

DS Lite: the most timeless handheld imo

I had that exact DS Lite. It was such a huge improvement over the original DS. Such a clean design

I wasn’t even considering handhelds when I wrote this, but you are right. That looks so good. I guess I also love the gameboy pocket.

My fist general purpose console was the Sega Master System. It had a flowchart displayed on the top telling you how to use it.

It might not have been pretty in the traditional sense but I loved it.

Looking back on it the chart was somewhat misleading, the console had two built in games that were only accessible if you didn’t insert a cartridge or card (Hang On, and Safari Hunt), and a third that also needed a controller connected and a few buttons held down when you turned the system on (snail maze).

I have one of these. I got it at a yard sale as a kid. I don’t think I knew about the built in games.
