I can hear this picture
🎶 segaaaaa green hill zone music intensifies 🎶
You had a flatscreen HDTV in 1991? Damn, found the time traveler! 😉
I always wanted a Genesis as a kid, but then when I made a friend who had one, I ended up not really liking most of the games iconic to the platform. I really only remember 2 games fondly:
Ecco the Dolphin and Eternal Champions. And yeah, I played Sonic and Mortal Kombat and a lot of other hits.
Wait, is that stretched to 16:9? I may have to rescind my upvote.
But also… cool.
I saw that too and started dry heaving
I found an old TV on Craigslist for $10 for my Genesis.
Damn, here I am sitting in front of a gaming PC with 4k monitors and I am legitimately jealous of your setup right now. Emulated 8 bit and 16 bit games look like crap on modern screens thanks to the upscaling and what not. TIL I need to check the Craigslist more often.
Or get an upscaler for retro consoles.
Not those cheap HDMI adapters, but like a retrotink or a GBS-Control. They can still look good on LCD.
Man, that’s a museum piece at this point. It’s what, mid-80s? If it looks bright, stable and clean without any maintenance that’s… increasingly rare.
I can hear the music
Still got my Mega Drive too. It’s sat in the loft though.
Now you just need a model one Sega genesis SCART cable with inline audio to plug into the headphone jack and an OSSC to perfectly multiply the scan lines up to HD resolutions! Oh and also to set your HDTV into its gaming mode to reduce input lag.
this reminds me of when i was staying at my uncles house and it was the first time i got to use a game gear :)
