Hey, all this stuff is ancient so who can say. I am using the cable that it came bundled in the box with, but I have no idea the quality of that cable. Fun console tho!

Donkey Kong (1982, Coleco) - Intellivision

I’m not saying any of this is preferable, but it’s a far cry from the blocky objects I’m used to seeing when I’ve played games from this era via emulation over the years.

But man… no wonder the NES felt like a revelation lol.

Centipede (1983, Atari) - Intellivision

What is striking to me is how in motion, through the haze, this truly does FEEL like playing Centipede. The player can make out just enough information to keep things playable, and the soundscape is mostly in tact as well.

Frogger (1983, Sega) - Intellivision

This isn’t standard RF noise either. It is definitely a few steps above the Famicom for example. Hard to believe this is the reality of how players saw the home versions of their favorite arcade games for many years.

Damn, they straight up fooled me. Excellent work

Gotta celebrate @noodleawesome.bsky.social’s work on this #scanlinesunday as well, because damn he included some genuinely well-shot examples

Revolution X stretched to 16:9 on a cold blue ass LCD with horrible viewing angles just as Eric intended

Yup! This is what I use! It’s really changed the MiSTer for me and I use it all the time now on multiple TVs. Misteraddons sent me a newer updated version, but it was right when my wife got her cancer diagnosis this summer. It is at the top of my project list for this week.

I've been cutting down my collection lately (as we've been moving to a smaller home in a new city) and it's reminding me what drew me to the technology in the first place before I got a bit lost in the discourse.

oh my god

There just nothing else quite like it! Over the years I’ve found ways to break it down into the elements I love though and find other games that contain them, but no one has put them all together quite like FF9. Dragon Quest XI came close.

Final Fantasy IX marks the moment I fell in love with the craft of video games and the artists who bring them to life. That small, thoughtfully considered detail can outshine the broadest horizon.

Oh my god where is my Gustavo

Yeahhhh 6.5 hour drive. I could do it but I’d really prefer not to lol
