Some of the older games choose from a table of resolutoins based on
your video driver. In some cases the games may not handle aspect ratio
properly unless you change the desktop to the same resolution before
hand, or in some cases they will just assume 4:3 no matter what
resolution you choose (as if using a CRT), so the images will be
stretched.

The first game I recall that supported all this stuff was Tomb
Raider Angel of Darkness (released 2003). You could specify resolution,
aspect ratio, and had the unusual option of choosing 30 bit color,
(10 bits per color pixel), althoug this reduces the number of resolution
choices. The so called 32 bit or true color is really 24 bit color
(8 bits per color pixel), and is what most games use. Most LCD's only
support 6 bits per color pixel, and only a few support 8 bits per color
pixel. Some high-end projector systems support 10 bit color.
