CRT look and feel on a LCD
genesim:
Malenko and Cheffo,
Thats the spirit. I mean this entirely. KEEP IT FRIENDLY and I will do the same. This bickering crap is going nowhere.
We can play the game of who can put who down the most and in the end, we all think we are more clever then the next guy. But guess what, anyone surfing will think we ALL are a bunch of tools.
I may be the minority here(surprise suprise) but I am also on a nostalgia board. It is the same as if I brought a gangsta rap artist to classic rock board...but of course if you flip it. Who is right...it don't matter.
The instant people lose their tempers, the point is lost.
Hell I didn't read the caption. Shoot me dead. WHOOPEE. I didn't really play alot of racing games because I didn't have the racing controls or I didn't care. I liked Kaboom and Demon Attack anway....in other words..either I shoot or I hit back(hence me liking Slot Racers as rare exception). Driving didn't kick in till much later. But I knew what they looked like on a myriad of TV's and you ALL have to admit this theory is CRAP.
As for a complete thought before posting...uh I try...I really do, but then I walk away, and it is back there again. I want to keep it fresh, and I do. Sorry if it annoys you, but I do try.
Malenko what was I wrong about?
Cheffo what was I wrong about? If there is something I didn't adress let me know now. But you should read what I wrote instead of assuming.
Geez I could be right on alot of this. It could be that it wasn't that frickin' serious. I have never came up with a definitive on arcade games. But I do know about Atari and TV's were not blending. Like Blanka said, it would have to be alot worse then that! If the programmers didn't know this, then they were idiots and did it very very bad.

And I am free to defend my view too. Of course others feel they are justified to call me MORON and the like...but of course they are no more right then I. Until you have the EXACT hardware...i.e. exact monitor that was in the original arcade(and even that is a compromise because you don't have the EXACT monitor the programmers used to put the original code on), then you have no superiority in what should or shouldn't be.
You believe CRT's look the best, that is fine. But so what. The glass can be half empty or half full. It is all about perception.
By the way, just because blending did happen, doesn't mean it was programmed for it. PERIOD. How it was presented on 99 percent of the TV's is compelling evidence. Blanka had a absolute spot on comment. The blending I never saw exist and I bet if taken to a real vote, most would agree with me. Most people saw those lines. I actually asked other about this and the ones that cared to remember agreed with me. Not just my friends..but all. Atari fans were plenty. But this picture that is posted here is pure fiction.

If you are happy with the way that things look on your LCD, then I think that is great. :cheers:

I say use what works best for you. Some use PC monitors, while others use various types of arcade/presentation monitors, televisions (LCDs, tubes, B&W) etc. What's best for me shouldn't affect anyone else.
There's only one person in these threads who can't get past the fact that people should be able to choose what they want without being labeled as Nazis, fascists, or saying it's a religion. Arguing how the technology works is a separate argument from what's best for people to use.

Why are you lying? That is not what I said. You going to apologize before I prove you wrong? I am giving you a chance.

Some people can't seem to get this...hence people personal attacking me on my choice rather then discuss my points.
XXXXXXX
