As I was writing my next System Overview article, I found myself asking the question "What in the world were they thinking?" when looking at some of the console designs in my Room of Doom. Some are very unique and others are just plain elephant-man ugly. With that image in mind, who will take the home coveted Joseph Merrick Award for worst-looking video game console? The contenders:

Magnavox Odyssey 2

Just what I need - 15 million
keys to play a game.

Amstrad GX 4000


Space-age design or just a cheap rip-off
of the Land Speeder from Star Wars?



Cast Your Vote!!

  Magnavox Odyssey 2
  Amstrad GX4000
  Atari 5200
  Gakken TV Boy
  Nintendo GameCube
  RCA Studio 2
  Bally Professional Arcade
  Pioneer LaserActive

Atari 5200


Hmm... make it bigger and
they will love it - NOT.

Gakken Compact Vision


What in the heck am I supposed
to do with those funky handles?


Nintendo GameCube


Simple design or
designed by simpletons?


RCA Studio 2


Brutal, just plain brutal.

Bally Professional Arcade


Bally should have stuck
to designing arcade machines.

Pioneer LaserActive
