That's a great point about screen orientation, Davy. I was baffled why Nokia didn't take advantage of their unusual (by today's standards) vertical screen format on their N-Gage systems by re-releasing classic vertical arcade games. To me it was a foolish error among many for Nokia.
I also know that I have a heck of a time tweaking my display on my home MAME arcade machine, even with an arcade monitor.
Finally, on the arcade translations for Xbox Live Arcade on the Xbox 360, it's nice that games like Frogger and Galaga and Pac-Man, etc., are true emulations, but it would have been nice to have a remastered mode that took better advantage of the widescreen format. Frankly, it's too small at HD resolutions, particularly Frogger. And no, the included screen stretching options are not a good solution!
