Pix, I wonder if the brightness issue might be improved by adjusting the flyback. Usually there’s a potentiometer you can slowly adjust. This is adjusting the voltage and is up and above any “brightness” setting in a menu or dial on the front. Of course, this is not advice (CRTs can be deadly once you’ve got the back cover off.)

I apologize for hijacking the thread. Will post my setup in the coming days.

in reply to: Best Way To Play? ScummVM, Steam, ExoDOS, OG hardware #8589

Luckily my brother gave/lent me his copy of the DOS original on CD with the hint book included. I played it through with my wife on vintage hardware (Compaq Presario 2200 desktop). It gave me a chance to try out the OPL3LPT adaptor that I picked up for that machine since it has a dearth of ports (no USB is such a bummer). We had a great time.

There are indeed a ton of great episodes! Some of my favourites include the Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Stunts, and Death Rally episodes.

Where in Canada are you? I’m near Niagara.
