gglabs CGA2RGB converts to 15.7 KHz horizontal analog RGB. If you have a VGA monitor that can take that, great, but most can't so you need a line doubler or scan converter. I am capturing with a card that can handle it so I have no scan converter in my capture chain.
You're all insane and trying to steal my magic bag!

I stumbled across this while looking for the Sierra Christmas Card demo and wow, I am blown away. The music and graphics are great! I made a video of my Jr running it and posted it to the Youtubes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAt1nVihHik. Decided to share on my favorite PCjr form and OF COURSE there is already a thread about it. Just a few years late to the party. Goes to show when it's PCjr Info you are looking for, come here first ;)

For anyone wondering about my capture system: I used an iphone with a couple clamps for a tripod ;). Or I guess it was more of a quadpod :P.
