Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Just play in 640x360 and squint your eyes like we used to in the CRT days.
Or 1600x1200 when most LCDs were 1024x768.
CRTs really have gotten a bad rep, although they were great for a while still, after LCDs came on the market
and they are still great, if not better. I'd take a high-end CRT over a modern LCD any day.
I really wish there was still a market for new modern CRTs I'd have loved to have seen how that technology would've matured further
If you were gaming at 1600x1200 you either had a supercomputer, or you were gaming on a machine built after 2000.
CGA used to be good enough, you kids with your fancy pixels are just spoiled.
Look at fancy-pants here rendering four colors at a time!
In my day we had green and black. And we were greatful for it!
