I move around alot and go overseas, so I have to keep my physical game collection small.

I know the Saturn has a crazy complicated architecture, and the N64 emulation scene is a giant steaming pile, but are there any other consoles/computers from Gen 1-5 that can't be emulated well enough for casual use?

What original hardware is still essential?

Previous thread >>3701596
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

I'm currently on holiday in Japan, and I can't believe how much retro game prices have increased here in the last couple of years.

Can't find a GB Colour for less than $70, and I have noticed a huge increase in Playstation stuff particularly. You can still find the occasional good deal at second hand shops like Book Off, but even they seem to be catching on to the increasing demand for Japanese retro games from tourists.

All I have bought is controllers on this trip, which are still fairly good value to what people in North America/Europe/Australia generally pay.

Do people still really believe this is an inflated market bubble that will eventually pop and collapse? I certainly don't. Stock up while you can, it's only going to get worse.

Since Double Dragon IV is now an actual thing and not just a nickname for Super Double Dragon, I think it's high time for a Double Dragon thread on /vr/. Advance and Neonfags are welcomed too.

>What is Phantasy Star Online?
Phantasy Star Online is an MMORPG released on the PC, Dreamcast, and Gamecube, and Xbox in 2000. The game focuses on hack-and-slash combat unlike previous Phantasy Star games, and relies on teamwork & strategy.
Since then, Official servers have since been taken offline but there are fan made private servers running to this day.

>Where can I play?
https://ephinea.pioneer2.net
Ephinea is the best private server around for PSO as it provides a feeling as close as you can get to the original servers, while also adding new and unique features to the game.

I just finished Lunar The Silver Star on Sega CD and I liked it so much that I want to buy the PS1 remake. Looking on ebay, I see many different disc sets, some contain Alex and Luna on disc 1, others with Xenobia on disc 1, some with just Luna on disc 1 and some with Dyne on disc 1. I think. Was it random which disc art you got? I would like to try to get the one with Alex and Luna on disc 1.

Random question, but does anyone know what the megaphone-like voice says in the Xenogears boss theme?

Guys, please help. Many years ago my friend and I played a vertical Shmup where you could play as different pilots from different countries. There were different planes and special bomb attacks, and the Swedish pilots were a guy with a mustache and a robot, and I think their plane looked like pic related, though I'm not sure. Any ideas?
