    I have a Samsung 4K HDR 120hz TV and can’t really tell any difference between it and my ancient non-smart Phillips LCD TV that it replaced.

    I have an Xbox series x with 4k hdr enabled and everything still just looks “normal” to me.

    120hz is slightly noticeable compared to 60 in games that support it, but not a huge deal. 99%+ of what i do on my TV isn’t 4K, HDR, or 120hz, so it’s not extremely valuable. From “couch distance” anything above 720p is unnoticeable anyway.

    I also have a windows 11 laptop with 4k HDR screen and disabled HDR in settings because the colors were all horrible looking with it on. Honestly I run it in 1080 instead of 4k because it uses less battery, performs better, and many programs don’t work correctly at 4K, and i can’t tell the difference anyway. Tiny pixels are still tiny.

    I realize this whole comment may come off as old man “get off my lawn” fist-shaking. I’m not trying to downplay other people’s experiences who seem to be genuinely impressed by these features, and maybe I’m just “holding it wrong”, but for me, personally, I regret spending extra for the whole 4K HDR thing.




  • It’s a Japanese game compatible with the Japanese Master System or Mark III, which uses a different sized cartridge than the overseas SMS. The Japanese Sega SG-1000 used this same size cartridge, and the Japanese SMS/MKIII were backwards compatible with them.

    The Samsung Gam-Boy (South Korean version of the Master System) also used the Japanese-style cartridges.

    In Japan, they used the “Gold Cartridge” branding for first-party releases and “Silver Cartridge” for third-party releases.


  • The “Games” series was made by Epyx. First was Summer Games, followed by Summer Games 2, Winter Games, World Games, California Games, and California Games 2. They also released The Games: Summer Edition and The Games: Winter Excision. All of these games follow the same basic format.

    California Games did have some more versions, Apple II, Apple IIGS, DOS, MSX, Atari ST etc.
