[game_preservation] TV emulation

[Mike Melanson]

I remember when scanline emulation was implemented in my TuxNES 
emulator. Screenshot here:

It seemed silly to me, but on another mailing list, Jim Leonard 
(Trixter) explained the following examples where it's a little more useful:

'I think every single game in MAME looks like this, personally, which is 
why I play with scanlines on all the time.  But if you want specific 
examples... Dig Dug, Roc'n'rope, Zookeeper, Robotron, Tutenkahm (sp?) 
and Punch-Out (arcade, not NES) come to mind..  Actually, Frogger is 
probably the best example.  It's too saturated/bright/"primary colors" 
to me without the scanlines.'
