Breakers Revenge (1998, Visco) - Neo Geo

RGBPi Raw Pixels vs. PVM-20L2MD RGB

More gorgeous artwork from one of my favorite underrated fighters! Love the look of the misty mountain folding screen behind him.

Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi (1990, Sega) - Genesis/Mega Drive

PC Emulator vs. Sanyo DS13320 Composite

Love the way this dude's armor goes from grey to a shiny black metallic appearance.

Coryoon (1991, Naxat) - PC Engine

RGBPi Raw Pixels vs. PVM-20L2MD RGB

This game is just too cute man.

City Connection (1985, Jaleco) - Arcade

Raw Pixels vs. PVM-20L2MD RGB

Crazy how smooshed our girl Clarice is here when the pixels are square! I always love seeing which arcade games did this.

Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi (1990, Sega) - Genesis/Mega Drive

PC Emulator vs. Sanyo DS13320 Composite

Ristar (1995, Sega) - Genesis/Mega Drive

RPi Emulator vs. PVM-20L2MD RGB

I am stunned by the way the CRT's deeper contrast transforms the purples and blues here.

@DTerryM It's an interesting question and BoF has a variety of skin tones to compare, but I don't know if I'd say CRTs are the reason. Likely just the way that we whitewash most media in the west. I think they used warmer tones knowing l the CRT would change Ryu to match the concept art.

Breath of Fire (1993, Capcom) - SNES

Raw Pixels vs. Sony KV-13M51 Composite

Was curious how this would look on a consumer set. While the smaller screen and composite input does result in some artifacting, I think this looks great too!

Breath of Fire (1993, Capcom) - SNES

Raw Pixels vs. PVM-20L2MD S-Video

Breath of Fire's emulated color palette always felt off to me and now I completely understand why.

Contra III: The Alien Wars (1992, Konami) - SNES

Raw Pixels vs. PVM-20L2MD S-Video

Really loving what the CRT does for the metallic gradient on Bill's guns here!
