> “It’s just not gonna feel as nostalgic,” Ware tells GamesBeat when we asked him about the problems with the modern display technology. “The pixels will be sharper on an LCD, but they may not be 100 percent accurate. Colors won’t be quite as vibrant.”
The absolute loss of dead online games bothers me. I can't get too fussed about arcade games that are still 100% playable but with less nostalgic pixels.
I've never cared for most online games, although it bugs me on an intellectual level that they'll stop working. CRTs are connected to my childhood and early adulthood, and I get warm nostalgic feelings seeing one still in use. If I had space at home, I'd have a 30" CRT sitting next to my main LCD TV, to connect my older game consoles to. They work on the LCD. Then again, so does emulation on a PC. Not quite the same.
