Oooh. There's some 'bad video' effects in the emulators I use, but nothing that extensive. Mac emulators are usually at the 'be glad it works' level, rather than the 'lovingly polished'.
I definitely like the idea of hearing, and playing with, just the encoding artifacts! Hell, my favorite Nine Inch Nails album is his first one, because you can hear the edges of how raw his tools are on that one. And then there's Daft Punk's 'Discovery', which is deliberately compressed and abused to sound like a crappy AM radio...
Sometimes, I kinda miss the shadows under cels. I was watching the horror that is 'Battle of the Planets' and I was really struck by how... handmade... it looks compared to modern cartoons. You can see errors in the xeroxing onto the cels, there's shadows under them, it's so clearly a made thing and that's pretty cool. Even though it's, overall, a pretty badly made thing.
