It would be pretty cool if I hit one thousand followers on my birthday in a couple days. Maybe I should flood the zone with some best-of CRT posts. Nah. Gonna do drugs and watch Inland Empire instead. Fuck me up, David.

Played some first gen for the 30th birthday of Pokémon and today's #ScanlineSunday This is the game I discovered the licence with and it shows well on Game Boy Player and CRT The starter I chose for my first ever playthrough was Squirtle but I ended up playing all three of them so no real favourite

Some Metroid Other M for #ScanlineSunday Yes, the plot and the cutscenes are not great, but I still find the gameplay interesting, especially after the Prime formula that was starting with the third (imo) to overstay their welcome. Taken on a Toshiba 28N33F, with Wii and RGB

Back with some FF9, I took some time off gaming on CRT during the last month and a half to play some more recent games. Here's a few pictures of Ipsen's Castle, it gives medieval and early modern castle vibes with its large rooms filled with natural light. #CRT #FF9

The entrance of Ipsen's Castle, a hall with columns lead to a sort of balcony.Ipsen's Castle, a low angle view of a stairway and the inverted summit of a castle tower below.A large well lit room in Ipsen's Castle viewed from above, there's arcades and walkways at the top left corner.Ipsen's Castle, a dim lit room with candles and strange green light patterns on the floor that lead to a map of Hera showing the locations of sanctuaries.

The Iifa Tree, I noticed that with the perspective and its perceived scale compared to the characters in the frame, it looks like a nuclear mushroom cloud. And the green glow inside reminds the way radioactive material is shown in pop culture. It might fit the role that giant tree plays in the game.

Happy 25th anniversary to NA release of FF9 ! As usual we Europeans had to wait a few months more to put our hands on it, but it was worth the patience. Got a few pictures of Pinnacle Rocks and Fossil Roo. Soon to follow, some Outer Continent locations.
