How feasible was it to play Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis on a fifty inch screen in the 90s?
I don’t know why you’d want to, they’d look all stretched out.
>>11992813Easily doable, but you had to settle for a projection screen model.
>>11992827>all stretched outTHAT'S WHAT YOUR MOTHER SAID LAST NIGHT WHEN I STRETCHED OUT HER BUTTHOLE HAHA GOTTEM.
>>11992813Biggie threw Sega and Nintendo consoles into the trash once the Playstation 1 came outhe died as a Sony nigga

>>11992813Projection tvs looked like shit.
My family had a projection TV back then that was extremely huge. I think that's what they're called. I usually played on my 32" in my bedroom but if my parents were away, like when they went to visit family abroad and I didn't wanna go, is move my shit to the TV room and play there. >>11992834Oh, so they /were/ called that. It was a bit of a nuisance because you had to be angled just right to see everything without that… dunno what to call it – glare? – that was common with that type of TV.>>11992930I sold my shit to Funcoland when I discovered emulation in late 1997 it early 1998. Nearly 300 NES games 30-something Sega games, 80-something Genesis games, 20-30 games each for Sega CD, TG16 and Game Gear, ten Lynx games, 50ish SNES games. I only kept the PlayStation and Saturn games.Actually, I don't think I sold the Sega, Lynx or Turbo to Funcoland. I think they stopped dealing in those long before then. Don't recall who I sold those to.
Why did the Nintendo saves the industry thread get deleted? That thread had some good information in it. >>11993154Yeah projection TVs are terrible because they wipe out definition. It's like watching a movie with your glasses off if you need 'em.
Why did he skip out on the Turbografix, CD-i, Neo Geo and CD/32X?
>>11992813Very feasible. Projection TVs commonly had that size and larger, and then it comes down to two situationsSituation A: you are some snot-nosed punk kid with limited social freedomYou have to get lucky and connect your console to your rich uncle's TV when you go to visit, or maybe you'll have the chance at playing on one at community center or even a nursing home (I did this). Situation B: you're an adult with a carWell you could just buy the frickin' TV, you know? Or otherwise find a place that has one like the aforementioned community center. Bonus Situation: You're a geek with a little bit of ingenuityYou either swipe a fresnel lens out of an old projector, or you buy one yourself out of a magazine, and build a DIY projector with it. Back in the day this was the way to get a really big screen experience on the cheap.
>>11993151They looked good when they were new. You've just seen them years down the road when they've gone out of calibration and possibly burned-in. There's nothing about the technology that's inherently awful from a fidelity point of view, they're just finnicky beasts. And the optics could vary from unit to unit depending on price. They would, even new, always have that kind of dimmer, vignetted projector-look. But people love the cinemas, and they have that too.
>>11993174cool shit. would have enjoyed seeing your old school diy projector setup.
>>11993187I didn't use a fresnel lens set-up until just a few years ago just to do it for fun one day. Looked like shit. But BIG. Very soft image. And everything is mirrored. The most 50" gaming I did in the 90s was done at family reunions and school trips to a nearby community center that a 50" (or maybe even 60") RPTV. All put together I had maybe 12-15 hours on that thing. Then there was the very old RPTV at the nursing home with a NES connected to it that I played a couple of times. That TV was in rough shape, and was probably a very early design. Later on, in the early 2000s, I used to play MVC2 on that same community center TV with the buds. Now that was some good times.
>>11992930Proof of that?
