I thought I'd throw this SUPER KICKASS AMAZING AWESOME LINK out there for people who like the old Infinity engine games (Baldur's Gate, BG2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale 1 and 2)

Haven't tried it but it supposedly works fine. Allows you to play all the Infinity engine games at HIGHER RESOLUTIONS/WIDESCREEN RESOLUTIONS!!! Nice for those of us that get queasy at the thought of running BG1 at 640x480 on our widescreen LCDs.

YES.  I was just thinking last night about how I should play Baldur's Gate, but all I have is a widescreen monitor and it would look terrible.

Keep in mind, the games are still old and have issues on newer hardware, but at least they won't look unbearably fucking awful now that you can run them at 1280x768 or whatever.

Also, the mod can be a little tricky to install. Be sure to check out the link for troubleshooting in the readme, it solved my issues. Basically, you might have to do a few extra steps depending on what you're trying to use it with.

Shining Force I and II were awesome Rpg/Strategy games for the Genesis (and one of them was remade for the GBA). I spent many a hour playing those. There's even a Shining Force III for the Saturn, but I haven't played it. The first Shining Force game (called Shining Force: The Legacy of Great Intention) was a fps rpg, like the old Snes D&D games (I didn't like it as much).
