Daily reminder that picking Tails is bait and will hurt more than it helps.

Previous thread(s) - >>2785646

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!

>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.

Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

Now that I understand what Fallout is really about (a GM-less PnP for your computer) and now that I have a Win98 machine, I want to give it another try. I've got a character in mind, but I'm curious about the papers. Is it worth my time to track down original documentation, or can I get by with a crazy-large printout or something? Anything I should need other than the vault dweller's survival guide and the quick reference sheet?

Show us your most beat up, weathered, marked-up, etc games. I want something different than showing off our rare shit or our entire collections like we normally do.

tell me a really GOOD platformer , but :

>It can't be a Mario, Sonic, Rayman or Donkey Kong game.

>It must be a pure platform game, not a hybrid like Mega Man.

What ist he best leaked game you've played?
Is anyone still hoping that a game gets leaked and dumped?

Personally I'm hopinh for two GBC games, Tyrannosaurus Tex and Katakis 3D.

Hülsbeck recently streamed Katakis 3D for an hour or more. Game seems to be completed and working fine. Pls, Hülsbeck, dump it for me.

What is the right way and most 'complete' way to play a doom episode?

- Finish front to back on ultra-violence, no saves.
- Play each ultra-violence map individually, from beginning, starting only with the pistol. Save each map on completion.
- Ultra-violence, 100% secrets, 100% kills, hit par time etc.
- Play the whole fucking thing on Nightmare and never save.

I know it sounds picky, I just wondered what other doomers think about playing and what they consider as really 'completing' a Doom 1 episode. I'm trying out episode 2 and the difficulty is quite surprising (and welcome) Personally I don't care about kills or secrets, just reaching the end is enough.

Also I know it deeply depends map to map, but what general tips are best for nightmare? I can get to level 3 on episode 1 and get my ass kicked every single time. I try to just blast my way through and maneover myself to cause as much infighting as possible but the enemies are just too damn hard.

Why is this level considered difficult? It's really just a matter of memorizing patterns.

>Games that make you laugh out loud when playing them.

Hammerlock Wrestling gets my vote. Holy shit I'll admit that some herbals were smoked beforehand, but I can't stop laughing at the animation in this game while fighting. Highly recommended.
