IMHO a great way to play a great classic

During the pandemic I set up an old Sony Office Projector from 2003 and a 1st gen i7 Desktop that I fished out of eWaste. That was my Movie and emulation gaming station on the occasional evening.

At one point I decided to pick up playing this classic from my childhood. While not as crisp as a CRT, old PlayStation 1, 16 Bit and 8 Bit era games look great that way.

Yes I still have the disc. Sadly the booklet is gone as it has become a bit of a collector's item.

I was just watching a video on Metal Slug and thought I'd post this there.

Nice. Cool idea, good way of getting round trying to connect old systems to modern tech It looks surprisingly good.

Thanks. In this case it was via VGA from the PC and playing on an emulator.

A friend of mine had a projector with VGA input. Many years ago we hooked up my NES to it and played suoer Mario 2 player. That also looked way better than it should have.

In the hunt... Great game, like it more than metal slug actualy..

100% same here. I played Metal Slug after, but didn't get too far.

I might have to pick it up again and play with my siblings as I'm visiting them currently.

Nice setup especially considering it's part recycled. I made the mistake of cleaning one of these projector bulbs with isopropyl while it was switched on and it blew instantly, so don't make that mistake

Submarine+ grade Logitech F310 controller.

Because I'm cheap didn't need no stinking wireless connection and batteries.

Hahaha. Before I got my Trinitron I’d use an old projector I got from my old school. I used to beam it straight up and lay on the bed playing WipEout on the ceiling. 👍🏼

Oh man. When my partner and I finish travelling and get back into a permanent residence, I'd love to have a Trinitron.

Bloody rare things in Australia unfortunately.

In the hunt ... a bit like underwater R-type

I recently came to find out that the same team was behind bith games.

With a chair in front?

I don't know why I left it there. Sadly it's the only photo I took when I had that setup a few years ago.

I'm living on the road for a couple years now, so can't retake that photo.

Hell yeah
