This video brings up the question, and with some defense:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH7xrFM9re4
Essentially, because of things like depth, color and real effects, older movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey look better on CRTs. The video creator even goes so far to say that if he was offered a 4k, 3d whatever TV, he'd still use his CRT, which can output above 1080.
I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I have a Sony Trinitron 310 with Netflix access thanks to my Wii, so I might give it a shot. What do y'all think? Is this video truth, or is it someone clinging to old technology like someone who still uses a Zune HD?
BTW, I love my Zune HD. Best thing on the market for sound quality at the time.

CRTs have horrible contrast among other faults.
Regarding your pic at least, CRTs are absolutely better for Parappa. Fucking thing's unplayable on anything else, even the recent PS4 release has messed up timing compared to the playing the original disc on a CRT. All retro-era rhythm games are the same in this regard.
for certain things like retro 2d pixel games they are essential.
certain effects like sonic the hedgehog's waterfalls made use of CRTs to produce dithering and more colors than would normally be possible. on a flat LCD, this effect is lost.

This game is better than Metal Gear Solid. Fite me
>>4065049
I dont bully retards on principle.
Why would I fite u when ur rite?
>>4065049
I first played MGS1 a few months ago, immediately after playing this. And it honestly just feels like a butchered remake.
This is the greatest level in the entire franchise. Prove me wrong.
sorry anon, no other anons are experiencing exactly what you feel at this moment. please refresh and try again.
I have the original games and I cannot wait to play the n sane trilogy
>>4064948
You are correct, sir. Thanks for making this thread because I needed the motivation to play through all the Crash games again.
Why is Namco so proud of this game?
Its fucking impossible!

Gi-RU-gamesh!
You are supposed to play it as a community, sharing secrets with other players to solve the tower's riddles together.
Just found out about in the hunt. Apparently made by the metal slug guys before they formed Nazca. Is this worth tracking down? Should I get for Saturn or PSX?
You might also wanna look into Gunforce 2/Geo Storm
Saturn version is superior.
>there is a manga adaptation of this, but is rare and no one posted on internet
What's better for emulating retro games, a VITA or a (New) 3DS? The 3DS has native 240p which is a plus but VITA is more powerful.
ib ree
Any cheap android tablet will be a better emulation device than either of these, paired with a Chinese fake brand joypad of your choice. Unless you actually plan to play with this on public transport, in which case you are a dork beyond help.
>>4064614
Get a Dingoo or a Caannoo or some type of handheld intended for emulation.
what's the first emotion that pops in your head when you see this image or if i say "marble zone"
>>4064442
The thought of billions upon billions of posts where people describe how Sonic the Hedgehog is a bad franchise because you can't hold right to win in this zone.
i'm confused as why i found it hard as a kid

>a slow zone
fuck. you.
So, my new job has a weird-ass 'split shift' system, where you end up just with nothing to do for two hours. It's long enough for me to get bored, but too short for me to go home (Since I have an hour-long commute).
To deal with this, I've got emulators on my smartphone. SNES, GBA, etc, and I've been playing games during that time. Only problem is that the controls are pretty clumsy compared to something with actual buttons, so things like the Secret of Mana and A Link To The Past are a bit too hard to control. What are some good SNES or GBA games that don't require someone to be amazing at control? I ask because I recently beat pic related and now I don't have anything except the aforementioned 'too hard to control' games.
>>4064343
Get a cheapo bluetooth controller. I got one for 15 bucks on amazon and it works great. I was playing mario 64 for a while with it. Honestly though, you're better off with a hacked PSP, emulating on my phone kills the battery incredibly fast
>>4064343
Could be a good time to get into Roguelikes. They're turn based so awkward controls don't matter, but they're still good and challenging with lots of fun decisions to make.
Shiren is a good place to start. Great game but accessible to newcomers of the genre.
>>4064415
Hot damn, I love me some roguelikes. I thought they were a PC-only thing.
What's so good about the Sony Trinitron compared to a normal CRT?
Its meme power level
The trinitron colours are much deeper and more satisfying. Also the picture is crisper.
I hooked up my raspberrypi to my brothers lg flatron and the colors are so off its ridiculous.
Sony crt tvs are vastly superior
Hi /vr/. Looking for a relatively "comfy" Game Boy RPG to casually play on my lunch breaks at work. GBC/GBAalso acceptable. I would also like it if the game were able to be found easily for under $20.
Obviously Pokemon or Zelda are the go tos here but I already played those. I want something new. And don't say Dragon Quest.
The Harry Potter RPG for GBC was kinda fun.
Harvest Moon
>>4062762
Too comfy
>POINTER?!?!?!
Excuse me who the heck is this?

How the fuck am I supposed to change the controls in this game? Because using < and > to strafe and the page keys to look up and down is seriously driving me up the wall.

Enjoy OP, this is my favorite SW game (well, this or TIE Fighter). The level design is seriously great.
What was so great about this meme machine?
Considering it's release date and price it packed quite a punch and was kept alive by its huge success.
It's got the best PSG soundchip ever.

Did Tekken rape you or something, little boy?
Why people has to bad mouth certain thing when talking of something that they like, "X thing is better than Y thing, Y thing is shit", if you really like X thing you just go and enjoy it without worrying about Y thing.
>>4062279
Somebody has the little art panels depicting the each character story, if i am not wrong the main character one is he working on a mine.
