I used to do a fair bit of photographing my amiga to slide when I was at college. I got my best results at night with all the lights off, and the only light coming from the CRT. When I got it right, the image looked better than the original screen. I do remember holding the shutter open for quite a while and I think I had the screen brightness lower than normal. This allowed me to get an 'average' of many interlaced frames and a certain amount of glow that blended it all together.
I would think they had a dedicated 'dark room' to do this and if they were doing it every day, I think they would develop some skills. Almost definitely they used slide.
