Comment on I think unintentionally hit the jackpot.

Not only the CRT technology with scanlines and other properties, also the cable connection you got plays a huge role. Not only on SNES, but also very apparent on the Mega Drive / Genesis. Nowadays I play old systems on emulators only and don’t want to miss a good Shader which simulates old CRT effects. They get pretty close to the original thing (depending on the shader and depending on to what monitor you compare).

Let’s not forget possibly the most iconic one, Dracula from Symphony of the Night

99% sure this one is fake, every time it gets posted its mentioned that his eyes are doctored

Hmm, never read that. I will test this myself with bunch of different Shaders, if any of them has a similar effect. It might be because there are many Shaders that simulate the CRT effects and can be customized.

I was about to comment with incredible surprise that a single red pixel for his eyes could blend across four or five pixels on a CRT.
