Board 8 > The Top 20 Best (And/Or Weirdest) System Colors

(+) Yeah! (+)

#5: APF Imagination Machine



-"Hi honey! You should see this terrific computer/game console that I paid $600 in 1979 dollars for. I know it's a lot of money, but you're gonna love it!"

(two minutes later)

"You're divorcing me? But... but...!"

#4: Smurf Blue DSi



-I know "Smurf Blue" isn't the official name for this thing, but it really should have been. At least in that case, it would have had ironic appeal. This color and the DSi matte finish were a terrible combination, and it was a laughingstock for weeks after. In fact, there really wasn't a single DSi color that was particularly good, aside from perhaps the white one; good thing they learned their lesson with the DSi XL, whose colors exuded pure class.

XD that is amazing. I want one just to laugh at it. (to the Coleco Telstar Arcade)


Smoke definitely the best. N64 had so many awesome colors.

Agreed! If I ever see a Telstar Arcade for cheap, I'm definitely buying that sunuva b**** on the spot. Just imagine the prank possibilities: you and your roommate would die laughing if he went to play his 360, and found that it was replaced with this thing.

Oh hey, I think I had that Atomic Purple one!

My condolences.

#3: My Vision


-Mein Gott! What an unholy abomination. In case you can't tell, we're getting into truly dire territory now: by comparison, the Pikachu N64 looks museum-worthy. Between the name, the box and the bizarre design of the console itself, it looks like the kind of system that'd have several creepypastas centered around it.

A lot of these are ugly systems, not necessarily ugly colors!

Wow, you weren't kidding about the N64. It looks like they slaughtered a PIkachu and started basting it off of the system's heat.

#2: Philips Tele-Spiel



-This doesn't look like a game console; it looks like a medical device from a children's hospital! The CD-I was no beauty itself, but it looks like the Sega Saturn in comparison to the Tele-Spiel here. Though I must say, the name is quite cool.

Nah man, all these colors are pretty damn bad too!

Haha! I'm glad someone else agrees with me there. Many people consider it appealing in a nostalgic way, from what I've seen.

LMAO, I really should have! Nice call, man.

All my friends had the Atomic Purple GBC for some reason, but I had a superior teal one.

Bah... forget it, i'm not creative enough to think of a clever sig, I'll just write this.

My sister has a teal one!

Yeah I don't think there's a big problem with Atomic Purple GBC

Or Smurf DS actually.

Though it's worth it just to see these utterly absurd designs.

--
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

I had the see-through one, which I got in a trade for my Game Boy Pocket, which I got in a trade for my Game Boy.

I dealt with some wonderful, wonderful morons at my school. I so would not have been able to afford any of that stuff otherwise. Hell, I got the Game Boy for free from a friend.

Ah, childhood trades. I remember them fondly. I remember my sister getting two games in exchange for a Game Boy Color system... case.

#1: Hanimex 7771



-I couldn't even laugh when I first saw this. It's just the saddest, most utterly dire console I've ever seen in my life. It looks like part of a washing machine that turned a grody brown-orange over time, and hell, even the got-damn BOX looks depressing. Console boxes are supposed to promise good times and family fun! This one looks like a Polish movie poster (translated to French, of course).

I just... wow. I want to give this thing a hug and a bowl of soup, and apologize for the rough life it's seemingly had.

--

Really makes you wonder how kids would have reacted to getting that. I just can't see kids unwrapping that as their Christmas present, and then being overjoyed...!

"We got you glorious Hanimex 771 because clerk at terrific store tell us, more knobs is always better."

"What? I told you I wanted a Nintendo, mom. Where the heck did you pick this up?"

"At terrific Home Depot, where we also pick up glorious cabinet."

The matte finish actually worked amazingly with the white DSi, because you could draw on it with pencil and it would erase away perfectly cleanly. It was really fun to doodle custom designs on your DS.

Early adopters, probably. At launch there was just Purple and Atomic Purple; Atomic was the clearly superior choice.

Hah! If I was in the business of changing sigs/multiple sigs I'd totally sig this with a picture of the system above it.

Poor thing :(

Huh! I never thought of that. That's actually really cool! I'll have to do an image search, and see some of the designs people drew up.
