This is not true. However OP, I’m pretty sure you don’t have the knowledge to fix this kind of damage. I suggest to look for an electronics technician that can help you out. Depending on your budget, it might be cheaper to buy a new one than to pay to get it fixed but if it has sentimental value or it’s just a dumb TV (nowadays that is a feature IMHO)…

Most things you describe are the side effects of displaying a 640x480 game on a modern LCD. I agree, however, that the default settings make the game look worse because of aspect ratio correction and the default nearest neighbor scaler. Both can be improved by either using an SVGA CRT or a pixel shader.
It plays perfectly fine, it uses ScummVM. You’re just spoiled with first person controls and a free roaming environment.
It’s easy, a lot of companies have board members who are also board members in office space companies.
Nobody got time for that, everyone was happy listening to Unknown Artist - Unknown track
They died with the transition to 3D and have resurrected and blossomed into a lot of new games and subgenres like with Disco Elysium, the Tell Tale games, The Talos Principle, Life is Strange, Monument Valley, VA-11 Hall-A… even The Stanley Parable is a point and click narrative driven game.

You can eat both vegetables and dead animals at the same time. We call that a stew.
People will never understand standing in awe in front of a 256 color monitor displaying 320x200 pixel animations
Heliocare 360 by Cantabria Labs. Used Avéne, Vichy and LaRoche-Posay before but since discovering their Aerogel I haven’t looked back. Super smooth on the skin and doesn’t cake on my body hair and it doesn’t irritate the eyes. They have an oral supplement in capsule form to reduce skin damage and photoaging. Also they offer a mineral solution. I see that Walgreens carry their oral supplement, however their sunscreen products aren’t but maybe you can find a retailer that does?
Searching Yahoo for fansites… I remember searching for Quest for Glory 5 and downloading multimedia and these cool wallpapers and then hopping onto the next fan site on the webring… Oh and signing the guestbook while the RealAudio plugin played music…
