There's something so comfy looking about CRT monitors. I know it's just nostalgia, but there's something in that.
I've been playing a lot of Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) recently. The games are alright, but honestly they kind of suck when objectively compared to modern games. I still enjoy them though, but that's because they take me back to simpler times.
I'm not sure I'd use a CRT monitor for any of it's tech specs, but would I get a huge amount of satisfaction from setting up a CRT monitor just so I can recreate my childhood experience of playing Jedi Knight II again? Probably.

- headsoup 4y agoI don't think a lot of them sucked at all compared to modern games. Forced constraints lead to wonderful creativity and strong - even if simple - game design. Sure the games might not have had as much breadth or depth at times, but I feel today's games are far more generic in general, you have to go searching for interesting concepts, rather than just browsing what is 'on the shelf' at the shops.
