     @lain I never had that or an N64 so acutally a lot of the nostalgia is lost on me. Went right to Dreamcast

     @lain the wobbly geometry and heavy use of dithering is a great look

     @lain I don't, and I had a PS1 growing up. Most of them don't even get the style or aesthetics right. Also, there are probably more "PS1-style indie horror games" than the entire commercial game library for the actual console.

     @dwaltiz yeah it's not a recreation of the actual look, but it takes some cues from it.

     @lain If the vertices aren't wobbly and the textures aren't dithered, then I ain't playin'!
