December 2025 General Games Discussion

I feel like I might be starting to feel my age.

I started playing Lemmings on the PSP, first via an emulator and next on my PSP Go. The screen size on both is roughly 3.6" and 3.8" respectively and I gotta say, I'm struggling to really enjoy it because everything is so small.

I'm not sure if it's my eyes or what. But I'm trying to find a solution to this.

Could you get one of those Fresnel lenses to clip onto the screen? Or maybe just magnifying glasses? I've never tried either of those. I just know they exist.

I just switched to using my PS Vita instead, since it's significantly larger. The upscaled resolution looks a little crunchy, but everything still plays just fine, so I'll probably just stick to that for now.

I tried to play Slay the Spire, but I think that's been forever ruined by Monster Train 2.

Will a train running over a spire be the AI-generated image for February?

Lemmings looked great on the family Apple ][+'s 280x162 6-color graphics! Well, I say six colors... but you couldn't just show any of those 6 colors on any pixel you wanted.

I've been thinking about playing the DOS version now, actually. Just because even on the bigger Vita screen, it still seems small...

Would this be the Apple II version?
