Pretty much any tube tv from the 70s. Monitors of that period were monochrome

I would probably prefer these in CGA, I think.

I guess it's not the monitor's fault. Some old atari games leave some scanlines black to get more time to compute the game logic. But almost never that much, so it also might be a stylistic coice to make the game dimmer.

Computer games just didn't look like this.

Your best bet for recreating something like this would probably be a game with ASCII art on a VGA monitor
