Honestly, for the most part you can make almost any game a widescreen game, though it does require some messing arround.

If you're interested go look for the configuration file within the directory where you installed the game( where it is on the hard drive)

look for either a config file or system file,

open it up look for

Height=whatevernumber is in here

Width=whatevernumber is in here

and change those numbers to the wide screen res you would like (1680x1050) etc

good luck and BE CAREFUL :)

I have a widescreen moniter and all the games look fine on it, including the old games.

what he said. There are a number of widescreen registry, ini, and other hacks to make almost any game widescreen. I'm running Tiberian Sun at 1440x900 :lol:. The units are micro, and you can see half the map at once.

Most recent games run widescreen, and if they don't you can usually manually change a setting to fix it or get a hack.
