All of those games can be emulated in hd.

Unless you're one of those people who think its just not the same without a shitty tube television. In which case, ok boomer

Imagine if all this time spent on making LED/LCD/Plasma/etc high tech and compact for the new age

was instead used on further improving CRT technology

Vacuum tubes guy is my children's godfather and he saved me when I was down on my luck by offering me a shoulder to cry on and a warm place to sleep. You can't replace him. Nobody can. ;-;

A CRT is essentially a beta-radiation cannon, which is why there's a whole bunch of glass and lead in there.
