Also anything that plays in 800x600 or 1024x768 (and does anyone remember
1280x1024?) as a base res, or starts you up in 640x480 and gives you the
option to increase to the 4:3 res of your choice.

Yeah, that's another good delineation: if a game can't do widescreen,
it automatically feels old to me. It's really hard for me to play
fencepost'd games on a modern monitor; I have to REALLY enjoy the game
to keep playing at that point. I'd almost certainly be looking for a
wide-screen hack (or, at the very least, an option to play the game in
a window, which I oddly find less offensive than 4:3 fullscreen)
before continuing.

I grew up playing emulators, so I don't really care that much.
Thenagain, I was scared of fullscreen games :)
