Quotes (from this video)
  • Here we've also got the good old games Doom 1 Doom 2.
  • Yeah, so you know, it's Doom.
  • It works.
  • And while we're talking about it, same idea here with Heretic and Hexen.
  • this is just Doom fantasy.
  • And then here we have System Shock 2.
  • But, it's it's a remaster of System Shock 2, so it's a little bit updated.
  • But it runs good just like basically right out of the box there.
  • And this is last one this Pico-8.
  • So, what Pico-8 is, it's almost like it's own little console.
  • But then, you get like hundreds and hundreds of games for free.
  • these little like Gameboy S games.
  • This top screen runs at 120 Hz.
  • So, if I'm just playing like, you know, retro games or something, I don't worry about it.
  • And if I'm especially if I'm playing the dual screen games here, then if you set this to 120, this bottom screen is like a little bit weird cuz the screen technically can't go to 120, but it kind of fakes it out.
