absolutely fascinated by this raw pixels on an emulator vs how the game was actually supposed to look on old tvs twitter
People say that old games dont look as good as they remember
Its because they legitimately dont.
The “fuzz” from CRT monitors was something that was definitely accounted for and taken advantage of back in the day when it came to video games! While this effect is noticeable in 3D games, it’s MUCH more visible when it comes to 2D sprites:
Just look how much more depth these simple sprites of Princess Peach and Bowser from Super Mario RPG seem to have when seen through the “dots” of a CRT TV screen!
I somehow did not know this!?!?!?
One of the clearest examples of this is using the effect for transparent waterfalls in the MegaDrive Sonic games
My absolutely favourite example of this is with Dracula’s eyes in Castlevania
On the one hand this is legitimately really cool and fascinating and on the other both versions still make my eyes hurt.

Guillermo del Toro was like "I hate it when the happy ending is the monster turning human" and by God he's right (he also hates fascism.)
Angron: FIGHT ME you nerd ass PUNK!
Horus: At least try to sound sophisticated when you threaten someone.
Fulgrim: Dost thou wish to engage in a duel, my good ✨bitch✨.
Horus, sighing: Somehow, that was worse.
