Like, if it's a game that you only played on a black and white t.v. back in the day?
So now, you wanna play it the exact same way now, by turning the color off on the television?

Bear With Me is mostly shades of grey with an occasional bit of color.

If you want to see what I mean on, the following images, turn the color off on your computer screen. If it's a computer screen when you can do that.
Before scrolling down.
 Play This game in black and white today, and see then how it holds up, eh?
You'll see it better trust me.

I would say, the only way to have a perspective on video games in general, is to play old games in black and white.
and I mean nes games, the golden age of gaming.
So here's what you do, just buy a crt t.v. if you don't already have one, because that's the only type of television that can properly display nes graphics.
Then you buy a retro system that can play nes games, like the retron, which is what i use.
Then you buy at least one nes cartridge. From a local store or ebay. Any nes game, it don't matter how crappy the game is.
Then you buy a universal remote, because the crt television you have probably didn't come with a remote.
then just program the remote with the instructions it came with, but even then it will be tricky to adjust the color settings, in order to turn the color off.
At least in my experience, with enough tinkering, you will be able to access the picture settings of the t.v. even though it may take many tries to figure out what buttons on the universal remote will do what.
The time it took me was like, one hour to do all that.
But if you do all those things, than trust me, you can then experience the golden age of gaming. Even today.

False. Color tvs already existed and were ubiquitous by the time the NES rolled out.

But by turning the color off, you'll appreciate the graphics more Just like if you watch old films in black and white also. Like from 1965.(but people that have never done that wouldn't know, even is you did play the gameboy because just because that aint in color doesn't mean it's in black and white). Just like if you watch old films in black and white also. Like from 1965.

False. Color tvs already existed and were ubiquitous by the time the NES rolled out. I remember one time at another person's apartment , just sayin. Playing games, on a television that was only in black and white. And the games were contra and karate kid. This was, most likely 1988. Or a year before that.

Great. That just proves me even more right. Color tvs were the dominant format in 1988. Hence why games were designed with colorful graphics. And not black and white like pong or asteroids.
