Aren't games using full screen mode to address only 320 by 240 resolution for faster screen painting?
If one used only 320 by 240 in a window, then that would be 1/4 of the screen or less!
And, on many of our screens, only a few inches across and too small to see without a magnifying glass...
Providing the user with the *option* of running in a window, preferably resizable, or full-screen, would be best.
