> I think we all know the games where restricted by the technology at the time
Why the fuck do you and other people like you keep pushing this bullshit, thoroughly-disproven line of reasoning? Ask anyone who actually worked on games during that time period, and they'll tell you that they authored the art specifically for the output device that they were shown on. Would any of the artists tell you that at the time, they felt particularly restricted? No, because they learned to work within the constraints. In fact, there's a MAME dev who can tell you first-hand, and has done so, but you've dismissed him because you're exactly the sort of fucking philistine that is ruining the emulation community. His name's R. Belmont.
These people didn't have some grand artistic vision of some shithead 15 years on stretching them to be 33 percent wider than they were intended to be. Yeah, you'd like to think that you're only stretching it a little bit, wouldn't you? Except it seems like quite a bit much more when you actually put it numerically.
Which of these looks "correct" to you?
 
It might astound you to know that the model behind the Mona Lisa was not, in fact, American, and it is the first image that's the correct one.
Now, if you were Leonardo Da Vinci, and you saw people stretching your canvas 33% wider than the original when displaying your work, how exactly would you feel? Would you be filled with bonhommie towards these people, or would you be appalled that people are essentially destroying your works because they think they know better than you, even though they couldn't actually produce art if their lives depended on it?
And to follow on from this, how do you think the countless artists who put their heart and soul into the art for the title they were working on feel, when they encounter people who legitimately don't give a fuck about how the game is supposed to look, and think that they're somehow hot shit, some sort of special fucking snowflake because they jerk it to fat Chun-Li? And if you feel that these people somehow less of a claim to the portrayal of their art than any other artist, I would love to hear why.
