This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

Even though I loved Teleroboxer, Virtual Boy gets my vote. It kinda has that Ford Edsel look; so hideous it's actually intrinsically cool.

I had a ViewMaster when I was a kid. I have no idea what ever happened to it.

I think I still have my Viewfinders packed away. I have a crap load of slides as well. I have some Star Trek Animated slides too if I recall. Man, I'm going to have to pull that stuff out.

Awesome, I got some first-season TNG slides for it in '88 or something. I had lots of other slides before that, but I don't remember any others aside from the TNG ones, heh.

Actually, when I was in 6th grade I remember someone showing me a pin.  On one end was the viewfinder (very small).  You had to twist the pin, and it would change the pictures.  It was porn!  Haha, pretty cool.  Of course you had to hold it up to the light for it to work better.

The Turbografx is arguably not the prettiest console out there, and the name is also arguably somewhat cheesy. I, however, still choose to love it for what it offers. The same goes for my Xbox. Though my Xbox, or for that matter my Turbografx, doesn't smell like feet. heh

The Xbox is like the old Volvos. It's a tank. Not pretty to look at, but it will stand the test of time.

Turbo Grafx a cool name for its time, but Xbox was a retarded name, When I first saw it in a magazine I remember thinking it was some kind of joke the magazine was playing.

What's worse is that they didn't even give the name a total revamp for their followup console. In fact, they barely changed it at all.

Got to say the X-Box triumphs here. Just terrible. But the N64 controller alone is the worst looking pos I ever laid eyes on. So, soooooo u-g-l-y.

It's not that it's ugly, it just has the build quality of a $0.99 plastic infant toy. There hasn't been a console in history that has had a cheaper made controller than the N64.

compared to the NES and Genesis, it was sleek and stackable. :)

plus, TURBO GRAFX just screams radical. 80s style.  I picture dayglo tshirts, striped surfer shorts, and hightops with 40 feet long tongues,     And springy shoelaces.  Its not rad to tie your shoes




as for the N64.   Any controller that has its main portion (joystick thing), wear off  and leave shavings residue, .... sucks horribly.


Its pretty unsettling to play a game and hear it go *CHCHRHRUCHRUHRCRCKRHKHCKRCHKCH* as you move it around -_-

I think the N64 Case itself looked nice, it had a sleek look at 4 controller ports, too bad the controllers sucked ass.

You know what? You're right. The N64 really wasn't too bad looking.

I was looking at the PS3 the other day, and it may not be the ugliest console ever created, but it certainly ain't teh purdiest.
