These three pictures assume square pixels, which is wrong. Instead, they should have 4:3 aspect ratios, right? 📺

Day of The Tentacle, yes. 320x200 on the PC is expected to be 4:3, and it's pixels are not square.

The other two are debatable. Their arcade cabinets had 4:3 CRTs, but neither look right in 4:3. Street Fighter looks better close to 3:2, and Ghouls'n Ghosts looks better around 16:10. In both cases, their pixels aren't square either.

1/3 🧵
