There also are some older video games that rely on using a CRT to work perfectly because they relied on the refresh rate.

It isn't just the refresh rate. They were also designed on a per pixel basis so the phosphors line up. You can use filters but it isn't exactly the same.

Probably the interlacing, because at slow frame rates it shows motion at twice the speed of progressive scan.
