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.

So do you play your old games in a window them? Or on a CRT?

Thinking back, I've played Crudader: No Remorse somewhat recently, as a
DOS game it probably ran at 640x480 so I'm pretty sure I ran it scaled
to full screen with fence posts. The posts just faded away as I played.

I thought System Shock 2 was the same but looks like it has been modded
to run at 1440p.
