Unpopular opinion, but Xbox 360. The first ones didn't have hdmi, didn't have a hard drive, the giant power brick was unsightly, the controller has the worst dpad I have ever touched and playing any fighting game on it was a pain, the paid multiplayer cancer grew there, the ads in the main menu of the console... And I didn't get to see the red ring of death since I've switched to PS3 as soon as I could afford one.
I know a lot of people have fond memories of it, but for me the 360 represented the worst of the console manufacturers' greed, milking the consumer to the bone while cheaping out on everything that was possible to cheap out on.
And it’s still the first day for me so I’m keeping my expectations in check, after so many failed attempts I really don’t want to be disappointed once again…
I was almost the opposite, after reading the books I don’t want to return to that world, the first one made it feel dark and bad, but intriguing and full of unknown, second one made it a bit darker, and the third one just made it so dark and depressing, like the Darkest Dungeon, where each step sips your sanity.
It just became massively unappealing, a world of Soviet-style state oppression in a can, without a hope, with no heroes, and where the only way forward is out.
Oh, I was actually talking about the original Race Driver: Grid, it’s super fun. Got confused by their naming scheme though, I’ve never even played the 2019 one
Playing through the third one right now, the first 2 ran great already, and the launcher really is convenient, before it was all manual commands in the terminal.
One advice I would give is to delete the rom file and the iso_data/{gamename} folders after the games are fully installed to save space, since it’s several gigabytes per game that are not used after the installation
I think it was either Beyond Good and Evil or Guilty Gear Iruca for PC. And then there were psychonauts and Megaman X8, I think all of the were worth it. Guilty Gear Iruca might have been the weakest in the series for me but I had a lot of fun with it too, and it got me to try X2 later.
And the Megaman game was actually my favourite in the series, I liked having lower difficulty with Axel and replayed it a few times, I was surprised to discover that the difficulty changed the ending on my second playthrough. That was such a great time in gaming.
Looks like it’s an updated version of a dos game Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space
I think I would try the original first, there is an open source version for basically all modern OSes

I think 1080p/60 is the best you should expect, and depending on the game it might be too much still. I’ve tried connecting it at 4k and even the UI had issues for me.
Edit: you should also be aware that every game has a resolution limit that is set at 800p by default, you need to adjust game properties to allow higher resolutions to be selected in-game
