I‘m a massive Orix Buffaloes fan (the other, much less popular Osaka-based baseball team) and I’m bitter because Hanshin beat them in the Japan Series last year, but this Hanshin Tigers GameCube is beautiful and I dream of owning it one day.
Looks like a large crystal and would go great with various real crystal / pure element adornments such as silver or gold bands or heatsinks. A PC build based on this aesthetic would be neato.
You know what‘s crazy is that this is the first time I’d ever seen this thread and the one that instantly came to mind for me was this Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward Vita. Ever since I saw this tweet it has been at the top of my dream games merch.
Although there‘s nothing like a piano black PSP, and I’m usually not one to buy color variants, I came across this beaut' several years ago at a Disc Replay for a cool hundo and had to snag it.
The top one is a testing machine designed for running near final versions of games before they went gold. The scarlet one is a Gamecube which was used for testing purposes but never had a disc drive as it was for testing roms saved on a HDD. The actual model is even cooler/weirder
The buttons allowed you to switch between games as it could store four rom images. You could also push buttons to open the drive and force disc errors. And the hole in the top allowed for a special cartridge to be inserted for quicker updates to games to be tested on.
I know what they are!
I was trying to find examples of 90’s home desktop PCs that used the same color green. The purple and green of the gamecube were following late 90’s consumer trends and I love these colors.
I don’t recall if I posted about it in this thread or a different one, but I actually put my hands on one of those symphonic green consoles. Imported it and resold shortly after. I personally don’t do such profiteering anymore but I was in my early 20’s and it was before this huge explosion of inflation so it was ok ;o)
it truly is a glorious color, but I prefer the mature and elegant, adult colors that were relegated only to development units.
