Man i had a large CRT that i got for free a few years ago and kept moving it from room to room until i finally just gave it away.
Now i see them listed for $250-300 for “retro gaming” and it’s laughable. I’ve thrown away more CRT tv’s than i can count. Also the amount of people that can properly fix a CRT tube are dwindling daily, so hopefully these retro gaming guys start learning CRT tv repair if they want the prices to be that high.

Look into recapping that set. Can probably improve the picture quite a bit pretty cheaply.

You know it!
It was the very fist Genesis cart I ever bought.
It’s been a while since I’ve played it on a CRT… I forgot how hard they worked to create a feeling of speed. I forgot about new, fancy games for a few minutes and my mind was transported to a time when graphics couldn’t get more real or more awesome.

Soundtrack is a banger. Grass Valler goes way harder than it has any right to.
