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.

In my day we had green and black. And we were greatful for it!
