    Can you tell me more about this? I've never heard of it, and have always thought that it would be cool to upscale old videogames.

    Yep. I think my Mom is typical: because of Prop 13, she can't move. Her property taxes on a new home would be 20X as much. Due to this, she's kinda 'stuck.' She lives in a house th…
