Title: RBI on a 57" TV
Post by: Gantry on 06/28/02, 04:48:27 AM
Went to Nick's last night and played RBI on a brand new 57" HDTV in widescreen mode.  It really didn't look all that bad, although it was a tad dark from one spot on the couch.  We had a quick-n-dirty tourney with four people, curve and random teams.  Nick and I had an awesome finals, with Dick Schofield hitting a homer in the top of the 15th for a Nick victory.  That's our personal record for curves...

Only problem I had with the huge TV (played it at my brothers house as well) is things look a bit stretched because of the widescreen.  You can set the TV to the normal mode, but the extra space on the sides was a real distraction.  You could probably get used to it though...

A friend of mine had access to a video projector and we were able to hook the NES up to it.  When we realized the possibilities, we went to a local basketball gym that another friend had a key to.  Well, the gym had a huge white wall that we projected RBI on!  The screen must have been 10 feet by 8 feet or whatever the ratio is.  It was friggin' huge!!!  I can only imagine that playing on something like a movie or IMAX screen would be better.

No way, Big Hath.  Are you for real?  That must have been a transcendental experience.
