Nowadays it's really hard to find a RGBi monitor to display proper IBM CGA. Having a true IBM CGA card is really important for compatibility. I was however quite surprised by the ability of OAK cards, namely the OTI-037C, to emulate RGB CGA. But if someone chooses the easy path of a VGA card that has acceptable RGB CGA simulation he/she must be ready to accept that composite color mode can't be used when it is in fact the better looking option.
So the question actually is, how many and which games fall into the following categories:
- Looks better in CGA composite color than RGB CGA;
- Does not support EGA;
Can someone mention the games that look better on CGA composite but do not support EGA, or don't have a later version that does? Because even Starflight, a game that i can't imagine to live my life without playing it, supports EGA in a later version. Same with AGI games. I really can't think of a really good game that looks better on CGA composite than RGB but doesn't support EGA. Gosh, maybe M.U.L.E.?
So i really have a chance to get a Sony PVM monitor locally. It doesn't have a digital RGB input, but does have a SCART connector with which i can use the C128 RGB to VGA converter. It accepts a 15.7KHz signal so that's great. But i'm kinda questioning if its really worth it.
