I agree!

It depends. Graphics weren’t spiky pixels as you can recall. That produced a far softer image, aside from scanlines and all the other stuff.

By now I can hardly play retro games from that time without shader, since the impression is auch a difference.

And I always was a pc player (from 8086/8088 on) and my consoles from mega drive on always used scart.

Still.

This is why it is (often) so important that a new generation takes over. They haven’t experienced this as we did. They mostly don’t know.

So every new generation is a new opportunity to pull off this shit.

Tesla is all you need to look at regarding that.
