CRT filtering is fun and I'm glad it's catching on with my circle.

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.

Friends have converted me to the CRT religion so here's various stuff I made with something like it

Game's name is Prehistoric. I sense some irony is afoot 🤔 oh, and you better bet it was on a B/W crt monitor!

I used procedural textures in Blender, trying to emulate texture from PS1 games. instead of creating tiles I went for larger textures (Vagrant Story was my reference for stone floors), but I want to experiment with tiling too. CRT emulation adds a ton of flavor.

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.

I've been experimenting with RetroArch filters, and I'd heard a lot of good things about CRT-Royale. I don't have a real CRT to compare it to, but it certainly seems to be a decent facsimile, including a hint of phosphor bloom!

‘Race Hustlers’ are being used, as well as them using others to gain power and money. Imagine if we just all got along and spent our time inventing underwater cities and exploring the galaxy. But no.

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

Raw Pixels vs. PVM-20L2MD S-Video

Mystic Defender (1989, Sega) - Genesis/Mega Drive

RPi Emulator vs. Sanyo DS13320 Composite

This guy always freaked me out as a kid and I do think he looks quite a bit scarier on a CRT.

A little tip of theory that you always have to keep in mind: AVOID BANDING ‼️

Normally banding is something very common in the pixel art of a novice, but let's not be unfair with the game in the example, it was from the 16 bits era and the reference monitor was CRT

I'd walk over to the woods and say some kids had carved Ashtar's head and torso into some trees in the forest.

"Like in the video game. You can barely make it out with clean pixels but on a CRT it's clear as day."

The wood carving was impressive.

Secret of Mana (1993, Squaresoft) - SNES

Raw Pixels vs. Sony KV-27S42 S-Video

I really think a Sony consumer set is the best a CRT can look (though I'm biased because I've used this same set for 23 years lol)

Mega Man X (1993, Capcom) - SNES

Raw Pixels vs. PVM-20L2MD S-Video

Mega Man X is quickly becoming another one of my favorite CRT examples.
