Yeah, that's another good delineation: if a game can't do widescreen, it automatically feels old to me. It's really hard for me to play fencepost'd games on a modern monitor; I have to REALLY enjoy the game to keep playing at that point. I'd almost certainly be looking for a wide-screen hack (or, at the very least, an option to play the game in a window, which I oddly find less offensive than 4:3 fullscreen) before continuing.
