Hi all!

I just wondered....I checked MAWS, but I can't find any arcade games
that was in 16:9.

I'm sure some games was, or?

Thanks,

Nicholas

I don't think any were, really. Or at least not 16:9. There were some wider than 4:3 and multiple monitor games.

Click on deluxe search (top menu) and you can search by aspect ratio.

To expand on SirP, you might sometimes see a game playing on a 16:9 TV, but that's just the same 4:3 original game (cough superhyperturbostreetfighter7 cough) stretched to 16:9. The characters are fatter than they were designed to be, etc.

It could be any game the arcade owner wants, too. Heck, games on mame on (most) 17"-19" LCDs are running "out of spec" at 5:4 (unless you correctly set the aspect ratio setting to 5:4). [shrug]
