    I was born in October 96 so gen z and I grew up with a mega drive and PS1 so scart cables were very familiar. The only TV we had for years was a CRT so I was more than familiar with red yellow and white connectors into the back as well.

        There were composite and component cables for these consoles.

        My mnemonic device for remembering which of the two that sucked was that: one is called component, and the other is compo-shite :)

            Yeah, it couldn’t separate the video channels.

            YPbPr or RGB cables were essential if you had a compatible monitor. Composite just sucked
