    the correct way is to not play them at all if you didn't grow up with them

      I don't know anon, I'm playing SH right now, and though you can see it aged really badly(especially the cutscenes) the game kind of holds up today

    There's no correct way to play it, but please refrain from using save states like a casual.

      Save states are really good actually. Less friction, more fun.

                No he isn't. It's just an illustration. One aspect in which old games amy be played.

      isnt that the fault of the asset creators or is it because the game just shipped with lowres textures

        why would you put in high res textures if your screen resolution is like 480p

      Actually low resolutions are terrible and the clarity of high resolutions makes for a much-improved experience.

        Yeah, but starting with PS2. In my experience PS1 games should be played in original resolution because of the extremely low quality of the assets. It looks coherent, grimy and right that way.

        Hell yeah, dude. I love playing Quake II in 4k and not being able to read my health or ammo.

          Emulators and and good Quake engine ports will let you scale the UI independently from the 3D elements to stay readable.

      this

      my way :
      PS1:x4 res + downgraded to original res with a CRT shader. It's gorgeous
      PS2:x4 res + shader for boosting luminance
      Dreamcast/wii/gc/wiiu : x4 res
      mame : screen res + build-in CRT shader.
      Genesis/MS:scanlines&composite shaders
      nes/snes:simple scanlines shaders.
