How's the Retro Duo?

I'm actually thinking about doing a similar photo for all of my systems for Wikipedia so they can replace all of those shitty, blurry, dungeon photos of every system.

I also made this to advocate the Genesis:



*sigh* if only I could've worked for Sega marketing BITD, I might've been able to sway the masses away from the Slowdown Nintendo Entertainment System you all know as the SNES. (I don't actually hate the SNES, and the longer games made it a good value for me back in the day, but the Genesis definitely has a longer list of top notch games).

Slowdown nintendo entertainment system?

I don't understand the name, But if you worked for sega marketing you couldn't do anything about the fact of lack of rpgs.

I got my retro duo but when I hook it up to my 27" LCD (westinghouse) the picture is all fuzzy (mostly with the SNES games). I hooked it up to a 15" LCD and it looks fine. Any tricks to getting this working on certain tvs?

So when I hooked it up the picture was terrible for both NES and SNES... plugged it into a VCR then the VCR into the TV and looks fine now ;)

Ah, good idea... Perhaps the RF shielding in the VCR dealt with the ingress?

Not sure but when that worked my first thought was... "oh yeah this is truly a 90s machine"
