    This is a full tour of my retro gaming area including: loads of big box PC games, plenty of other games, TWO CRTs (one Gateway 22" CRT monitor and one JVC 27" TV). We'll cover my controllers, gadgets, MY BOXED COPY OF DEUS EX, audio gear, consoles (mostly the Wii for emulation) and a bunch of other stuff. Check out the video and enjoy the nostalgia.

    I love this room! The wood paneling and the wooden tables are great! For some reason, nowadays every gaming room needs to be sterile and cold, with everything in white and unnatural purple LED lights. That may look kinda cool, but rooms like this are much more cozy.

    Honestly, even just a video on Daggerfall alone in the style of your Morrowind vid would be awesome. Played the main quest for a solid month recently and it was some of the most fun I've ever had with an RPG in a long, long time.

      @teksyndicate  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm not sure exactly how I'd play it these days... Like I prefer mostly vanilla... but the temptation to add fancy lighting is there because of Daggerfall Unity. So, I'll have to think about it.

      @yourpalmax6681 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@teksyndicate Oh yeah, Unity is definitely the best way to play nowadays, if for no other reason than because it's stable and has a pretty decent modding scene behind it. There's a few really good ones like DREAM (remasters the visuals and audio but not in a way that betrays the original aesthetic), Warm Ashes (adds random encounters and events to the game to make fast travel more interesting), Meaner Monsters (buffs enemies to make the combat less trivial) and a more immersive fast travel mod that lets you see your character actually walk from one place to the next (fast-forwarded) if you choose to fast travel on foot. The TH-camr Zaric Zhakaron has done a few playthroughs with a modded-out DFU install and they're definitely worth watching to get some ideas for a playthrough imo.

    never really was attached to the wood paneling until I saw this, it looks very cozy.
    to speak to the crt, i have a pvm that i never really use. my preferred way to retro game is with composite cables on my sony trinitron, the way the scanlines blend things kinda tricks your brain into adding more details. anything i dont like with composite / scanlines, i'm just using component with a scaler to my flat panel anyways.

    You've got so many great games (and more importantly, boxes!) Super jealous! I'd absolutely be up for videos of the box contents.
    I'm 2 months into my game hording. I'm up to 600 so far, mostly made up of PS2 games. I'm giving it a break for a bit though as I've suddenly remembered that I'm actually broke af and can't be spending everything I have on games I likely won't even play.
    You know, I'd only recently realised the importance of CRTs and remembered that my mum still has our 34 inch Toshiba CRT from when I was a teenager. Did a bit of research on it and turns out it's one of the best for retro gaming. So once I hire a forklift, it'll be going into my gaming room.

    Surprised you don't have a PVM. I know they are super expensive and heavier than the TV you have. I really want to see one in action with my own eyes.
    For Retro gaming i've recently fell in love with my OLED. RetroArch with RetroAchievements with a nice filter, beautiful OLED colors, and HDR. So much fun and CRTs don't look anywhere as good. I could never get into scanlines, I was happy to see them go when I switched from my Viewsonic to an IPS back in the day.

    • @teksyndicate
      @teksyndicate  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I prefer 27" TVs because that's the size where the scanlines are still small and it looks great from 6-8 feet away... but a 27" PVM... ouch. As for OLED, they have done a lot to improve the blacks, but it still suffered from the same issues as LCD when it comes to fluidity... the CRT is still a much smoother experience.

    The eclectic items really makes this a good space. The problem many retro gamers have is that they only fill their space with gaming items. So it makes it look like either a well organized game store or a ugly muesuem. You added plants, wood, books, and natural colored lighting (not RGB LEDS) to make your space look natural and consistent.
