I’m just glad this is going to enable more people to try these out. They’ve always deserved more attention than they’ve received - I feel like many people playing for the first time will be surprised by how substantial of a Zelda experience these are.
Ages is fantastic if you like Zelda for the puzzles. I’ve always preferred it over Seasons because of that, but honestly they’re both excellent games and criminally overlooked.
There’s not a whole lot you can do to improve things with RF - it’s the lowest quality signal type supported by most retro consoles, and CRTs that only had that as an input were generally older or budget sets.
Make sure you get good quality coaxial cable that isn’t fraying or super old, and keep daisy chaining of adapters to a minimum. Also, try to get RF Modulators that are OEM whenever possible. It’s still going to look rough compared to other signals, but that’s all you can really do.
By the way, there’s a CRT magazine on Kbin if you or anyone else would like to join (questions like this are encouraged over there!)
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Just totally missed the boat when they were in the zeitgeist - I ended up loving them 15 years later though.
This one’s probably going under the radar for most people but it looks extremely promising. It’s like if 90’s Treasure developed a platformer using the Mario Odyssey blueprint. Wouldn’t be surprised if this became a sleeper hit.
A loose analogy would be to compare it to a restaurant kitchen. The kitchen serves up food for customers dining in (official Reddit app) but also has a takeout window (the API) which anyone can use to get their food without having to go into the restaurant (3rd party apps).
Now everyone can experience how outrageously difficult it is to reach the credits of Pokemon Stadium 2 only using rental Pokemon. It’s speedrunner strategies or bust - Wobbuffet MVP
