CRT vs LCD...
Blanka:
Which makes me think that within a few years, 4:3 LCD graphics are relative authentic, as soon 99% of our kids will either play Pac-Man 16:9 widescreen-stretched with 5.1 sound as Wii-download, or thinks Pac-Man has always been a touch-screen controlled 3 inch mobile-phone game.

That's irrelevant for me, and maybe for others too, as I only ran them on MAME, and the first time I booted MAME, it was on a 1280x960 pixel CRT. So there is no blurry, stinky, scanlined, smokey Pac-Man in my brain. It has been there forever in bright, crisp, blocky graphics, and it is great that way. LCD only enhanced that image. In the end it's about the game. Same with sound. Pac-Man wakkawakka and DK stomping sounds excellent on 2x100 watt stereo speakers! Never heard it on the "authentic" 5 watt PC beeper speaker.

Have you seen it yet on a proper CRT? It isn't blurry or blocky. Looks great!!

Reminds me of people referring to the control scheme on some iPhones games as the "Geometry Wars" control scheme. Ugh. :)

I've seen most classics at Darth Nuno's Lair, but I have to say, on my wide gamut 26 LCD the games look better. Hit me, I don't mind :). I'm a huge fan of pixel art, and with pixel art, pixels should look square :D. I consider old games being examples of the very best pixel art.

Nothing wrong with that! We all like to see different things.
