And not just that; invoking the Game Boy here is not the closer many people think it is, given that its STN LCD screen was fuzzy (e. g. ghosting) yet also had this distinct, subdued lo-fi glow, almost like looking through a zoetrope. Somewhat analog to lo-fi CRT setups.
- mrob 13d agoThe ghosting on the original Game Boy did not blend pixel boundaries and did not affect static images. It looks nothing like a CRT and nothing like a zoetrope (which has sharp images and reasonably low sample-and-hold blur because of the strobing).

It still gives you, especially when factoring in the condition of the STN screen, a "fuzzy" picture and with its own lo-fi glow, analogous to a CRT setup. Which was the point. I owned a brick, from 1992 onwards. > It looks nothing [...] like a zoetrope (which has sharp images and reasonably low sample-and-hold blur because of the strobing). "Sharp images" is certainly not the experience I had when looking through 'em at country fairs back in East Germany in the mid-to-late 80s.
