Such a classic!

Now if only I could get some sort of bearing on 1v1 fighting games. 😅

May be an old tube, but it looks super sleek. Nice work getting it restored!

CRT rejuvenators are scary tech to me, but it may be worth a shot to keep the cathodes firing for a while longer.

Oof, not a chance! 😅 I’ve gotta explore the microcomputer game scene more. This looks a lot like Monster Bash though, is this also DOS?

Here’s hoping you’ll have a perfect spot for one in the future! I feel very, very fortunate finding this one near me for free, and it makes even harder to justify the current prices of these. Once this one has run its course I think that’ll be it for me! 😅

Love Neil Cicierega’s work, Mouth Dreams deserved way more attention than it got!

“This comes with the CD-ROM, BUILT. IN.”

Whoof, hopefully new ones are easy enough to source!

Glad to hear that one’s still going strong. Philips has constantly blown me away with how well their sets compete with the equivalent bestowed sets. Same with their headphones, too! They’re doing something right I guess, lol

I still spend a decent chunk of time on Reddit, but I’ve been pushed out of a lot of specific retro game communities by both the massive influx of AI-decomps and the immediate hostility if you voice your opinions against it. One walked back its “no generative AI” rule entirely last week. It’s a bit depressing.

Yes!!! For some reason, I have a really difficult time with horizontal shmups, but Thunder Force IV is too pretty to skip.

Still out there? 😛 Curious if you’ve still got that 17-inch and how it’s been treating you!

I’ve been using a Philips 27PT543S37A, and it’s been so nice. The last TV I had was an older JVC 27-inch that capped off at S-Video, and it had some nasty burn-in. I recently set up a dedicated Batocera PC for this one, and was shocked to find that the signal was sharper still than even the Wii through component! 😅
