I may have started my gaming life on NES, but the most memorable retro era for me was SNES. Had incredible games, was a golden era for JRPGs, and was the height of Nintendo in my mind.
I miss the snes/md/st/amiga/ms dos aka 16 bit era tbh you'd get lets say a WWF game and each system had its own art style,move or roster i wish the switch had a smackdown type WWE game then xbox could get a WWE raw type arcade sim whist sony do the 2k series(which logicly makes sense since the first two svr games were exclusive to ps2 yet svr 2007 was on 360 and ps2 but i think 2008 skipped 360?)
@NeonPizza Yeah as much as I would love to recreat that awesome 80s and 90s gaming feeling I agree. To pull off that feeling again it's just taking too much time and sometimes money and at least for me it's just not worth it considering how much time I game nowadays.
It is so hard nowadays to find a proper CRT TV and then hoping to hell that it will work properly and for how long? Heck even at my work the only time I see them is when one gets donated and then it's because it's not working. Even scouring Facebook or Craigslist it's becoming harder and harder to find one. It seems I am spending more time and energy looking for one then using it. That why I just went with the Super NT and Mega Sg. Yeah it's not exactly perfect but it's close enough. Especially when I feel like a quick game of Ken Griffey Jr's or something like DKC. I don't know about you but I have noticed in my neck of the woods SNES games have dropped alot in prices. I was able to score a copy of Sim City on SNES for 10 bucks from my local flea market a few months ago!!
But yeah as nice as it would be to have that authentic 80s/90s feel it's just not worth it for me.

I wish I had the space for a CRT. Or even that my parents had kept my old magnavox 13inch. College is one of the worst times to be a gamer because it’s so hard to protect tech. My mom was like “oh she isn’t using it” and would give stuff away or sell things that I had wanted to keep but didn’t have space in my dorm room for.
My LCD works fine as is but it is 15 years old and I worry what will I do when it dies.

I'm planning on getting a 2002 era LCD Sharp Aquos. Since I'm using that in the case my JVC SDTV goes kaput on me. Plus, this kind of T.V. is quite compact so it won't be heavy or take up alot of room.
Should've kept my small Funai CRT T.V. when I had the chance.

@NeonPizza Glad you are enjoying it for the most part. I can understand some of your points thing is nowadays I just don't have the patience to try to get that experience anymore and quite honestly I don't think it can be obtained short of Marty McFlyin it back to the late 80s early 90s. As long as I can get it close I am happy.
I was looking at the Analogue Duo but to be honest Turbo Grafx doesn't mean as much to me as Nintendo or Sega or even PS and Xbox. The only time I dabbled with Turbo Grafx was over at a friend's house when I was in Junior High. I just don't have time for another retro console. My retro collection is Nintendo, SNES, Genesis, and Dreamcast. Mind you I do have PS1 and PS2, Wii and GameCube but those are mainly my sons.

I want to buy the The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past, and as you know it's quite an expensive game, especially the UK version. I managed to find some versions from other countries, but to me it's still not clear, no matter how much I search online, if those games are also in English.
I know some of the most common are the NOE, ITA, FAH or HOL, but I couldn't find anywhere if these versions have the option to change the language and thus play the game with the menu and the story in English.
