Is there a way to play the game today, with a CRT screen emulator? I imagine the graphics will hold up a lot more faithfully to memory.

- gattilorenz 7y agoDosbox, I guess. But I have never tried this CRT emulator, so I can't vouch for it. https://mattiasgustavsson.itch.io/dosbox-crt https://mattiasgustavsson.itch.io/dosbox-crt
- bgeeek 7y agoHave a look at what RetroPie provides for the RPi. It's brilliant for emulation and will hopefully improve with the RPi4 4GB :)
- ekianjo 7y agoDosBox or you can also play the console version on the 3DO. I believe GOG has a proper installer that packages Dosbox for you on Windows.
- rasz 7y ago>with a CRT screen emulator Game is VGA only. VGA did line doubling. There are no black bars every other line people mostly associate with using CRT TV.
- ricardobeat 7y agoI played the game on a CRT monitor back in the day, would like to emulate that look. You’re correct, there were no visible black bars on VGA PC monitors. The screen was fuzzy so it actually looked a lot better than it does in an LCD monitor due to a natural “aliasing” effect from bleed/blur/glow. I know video game emulatores like MAME have good ones but didn’t know there was a filter for DOSBox, will try that!
