I think the Core Grafx II goes quite well with it.
That core grafx II set up is really growing on me  =D>

My current 3 favourite consoles.  I'll always love the original white pce and Victor's v-saturn.  The 360 however.. man thats one noisy beast not to mention it has an erratic life span..but the games!  really diggin oblivion and phantasy star universe!

The PS3 looks absolutely nothing like a Duo, I don't know what people are thinking when they say that.  A George Foreman grill, yeah, but not a fucking Turbo Duo or any other system for that matter.  That's like saying the 360 was inspired by the white Saturn since they're both white and have smooth curves.

Kitsun, I like the look of the FM TOWNS Marty as well... but it has a more industrial aesthetic, whereas the Duo R is elegant and softer. Both designs are great, though. FM TOWNS Marty looks like it could be a prop in a sci-fi film from the mid-late 80's, which is a good thing :).

Yes, that is my most recent hardware addition... I got it over a year ago, but I actually *like* the way it looks. Of course, I don't think it is the most elegant design. Part of its appeal is that I don't know what to make of it. I do enjoy the deep vertical design, since it doesn't waste valuable shelf space.

Why do some people not think the Super Grafx is the ugliest thing in the world? I need five explanations.

Quote from: Kitsunexus on 04/06/2007, 02:44 PMPowerwise, I wonder how these compare... I think the PC-FX might be more powerful?
You can't really compare FM Towns to the PC-FX since it is a PC - which comes in many variations. But the later FM Towns computers are a lot more powerful than the PC-FX (I believe the final FM Towns had a Pentium 90MHz CPU).

Blind fanboyism, horrible taste, the belief that "if I close my eyes it's not so bad", the fact that it looks like it can be used as an extreme Korean sex toy, and it's rarity.

Otherwise I'm as confused as you are.

Keranu sum'd it perfectly. The SGX design totally kicks ass. And I agree about the font - pure sex  :wink:

Cosmetics aside, I love it for it's insides too. Programming the beast is pure delight :dance:

The PS3 is similar in shape to the Duo R/RX, but instead of a cheap lid style CD door, in the exact same place the PS3 has a motorized drive door.

The PS3 doesn't look much any other console.

At the very least, its pretty freaking far from "looks absolutely nothing like a Duo".

Have their been many other instances of consoles from different companies looking so similar?

Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

I too think the PS3 shares a little resemblence of a Duo. Not a flat-out rip off or anything, but the clam shell shape definitely sparks some similarity.

If you removed the middle ridges on the top of the DUO, and you raised and contoured the other ridges,  BOOM, PS3.

So it's a rip-off that's been slightly modified to not be as obvious.

Actually, the 3DO FZ-10 always bares a resemblance to the Duo, moreso then the PS3, since it has a door, rather then the cd ejecting out.
Copy & paste, as I am retarded!

Seldane, honestly, how can you NOT appreciate the sheer originality of the SGX? Even if you think it is butt-ugly, it is hard to ignore the interesting design concept and well-executed results. The aesthetic problems with SGX arises when you have to attach peripherals: when you're hooking up a CD-ROM drive, the entire concept falls apart and looks like a hodge-podge of components.

Now, I like hodge-podges, but I'm in the minority :).

I can see how people could find the SuperGrafx ugly, same as most consoles.

But I grew to appreciate the design after the shock of the huge size wore off.

So how does it look when connected up to a Super CD-ROM2?

I think the Super Grafx looks rather interesting, but whenever I see one I'm disgusted by it. It reminds me of something taken out of a junkyard. Something dirty. Something I would never touch (kind of like that Shuttle that 16-bit sent to CrackTiger). It might be that particular shade of grey that does it.
