    using a tube tv for old game systems makes sense. more so if you want to use a light gun. (they wont work on any of the new tvs)

    It not only makes sense: it is THE way to play those games as they were intended to be played. I think there will be now generations who will only get to play them on flatscreens thinking we always saw the sharp blocky pixels, when in fact the graphics used the low resolution displays to present the illusion of shaded, curved graphics.

    Thanks for your comment!

    It was how they were designed to be played. And that’s not just sentiment; you can compare the visuals of some well-crafted games like the ones by Sunsoft and see that they skillfully crafted it to look better with CRT distortion than it would have in its regular pixel value.

    Amen. I still have a gigantic CRT taking up space in my room, nothing looks more horrible than the upscaled naked pixels of retro games.

    This is why a lot of the emulators have filter options that intentionally blur the edges in various ways. Play around them, and you can get that CRT-blur effect, with or without scanlines.

    reminded me of me saying “so you wanna play the pixelated NES classic, on an HD TV… just to see outdated pixels on all their low quality-ness… my fear that gamers have de-evolved over time looking at quality over fun wasn’t that far off”
