Does the program become much slower when display mode switched to 320x200 mode? Cuz I started program in that resolution and it's VERY slow.

Um, In theory this should be faster, but I think maybe if your card doesnt support 320x200 maybe the software has to do more work... hence the speed difference, maybe not... I'm a n00b

U know these old kickass games, that we used to play when we were just little kids. For nostalgy it's great to remake them or do as terrible lookin' as fun as 10 years ago. Or even try. That's why.

Well it should be very fast, but you could always use 800*600 res. Just make the graphics blocky.

actually, you should be using 320x240! that's the correct scale. (half of 640x480, which has the right 4:3 ratio)

The problem is though that not all computers can display 320*200. I'd go for 800*600 for future compatibility.
