Close enough, and it is one of my favorites. However, since we have 2560×1440, I can play the old 4:3 games at 1600x12x1440 now.īack to the thread, I can't think of an early XP game off the top of my head, so I'm going with "American McGee's Alice" (released about 8 months before XP went to manufacturing).

Discussion in Videocards - NVIDIA GeForce started by noobie dude, May 21, 2005. Once Windows Vista came out, the slow move to 16:9 began and it took hold with Windows 7, quickly becoming the norm after that was released. I was working retail at that time, selling computers, and 16:10 widescreen was rapidly taking hold on gaming/multimedia laptops, but desktop monitors were still very much the old 4:3, with some exotic 16:10 media/gaming displays hitting the shelves, often with expensive soundbar add-ons available. It wasn't until the XP Media Center days that widescreen began to take hold, due to HTPC/living room gamers using plasma/DLP/projection TV sets and also gaming on consoles. 4:3 gaming was around well into the XP-Vista era.
