I think 320x240 fits the common monitor ratio better than 320x200.
although i don't know if most people have different ratios on their lcd screens nowadays.
Ive still got a beefy old style monitor.

monitor resolutions are in the ratio 4:3 (width:height)
So basically 320x240 would fit better as 240 is 3/4 of 320, whereas 200 is 5/8 of 320, so it would be out of proportion.

Nobody will ever know why 320x200 was included as default resolution in TGF (and MMF) in the first place...

A lot of DOS games used the 320x200 (and later, 640x480) resolutions. Though I can't think of any specific ones myself. It's slightly less relevant to Windows if you're stretching rather than switching resolution. Edited by the Author.

Yeah, and 520x340 isn't 4:3 either

320x200 is the CGA resolution.
But, Davince, it's not the monitor so much as the Video Card.

Double Pixel mode is what all of Circy's games are in.

When I first saw this post in the listings I also thought it was asking about how to make graphics in my style.

I think I'll make an article on how to draw 2 pixel border graphics.

You'll find that the early Kirby games had double-pixel outlines on the backdrops.
