I gotta level with you here. I'm rather surprised you're complaining about... what is it now? Ports of two Genesis games? Yeah I'm not feeling it. Normally I'd be all "yeah compatibility!" but so far those are the only two old Windows games I've heard of that actually require 320x200 to run properly. There may be more, but it's the first I'm hearing of any games that don't run in at least 640x480 in Windows. Even the Windows 3.1 versions of King's Quest 5 and so on ran in 640x480 (the art assets are still 320x200 but it just does a resolution doubling and resizes it into the new one, hence those black bars on top and bottom due to aspect ratio differences).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
