FI Challenge '99 - 02' is now giving me widescreen resolution options

Some of the older games choose from a table of resolutoins based on your video driver. In some cases the games may not handle aspect ratio properly unless you change the desktop to the same resolution before hand, or in some cases they will just assume 4:3 no matter what resolution you choose (as if using a CRT), so the images will be stretched. The first game I recall that supported all this stuff was Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness (released 2003). You could specify resolution, aspect ratio, and had the unusual option of choosing 30 bit color, (10 bits per color pixel), althoug this reduces the number of resolution choices. The so called 32 bit or true color is really 24 bit color (8 bits per color pixel), and is what most games use. Most LCD's only support 6 bits per color pixel, and only a few support 8 bits per color pixel. Some high-end projector systems support 10 bit color. |
