What?! Was I so privileged to have a 720p CRT at the time? (ok well not literally 720p, but a higher resolution 4:3... 800x600)

... actually remembering it, it was probably well after 1998, but I have plenty of memories going, "mmmm, 800x600". maybe even more at 1024x768.

I only really started to understand what it all meant and how neat better resolution was with Unreal Tournament, so... definitely post 1999

800x600 is 600p. 720p is 1280x720
