That's very true...  but a lot of games "cheat" on the resolution by
filling a lot of the screen with non-moving "instruments" or "controls",
and restricting the actual fast-action graphics to a "window", thus
reducing the amount of memory actually needed to be updated at a high
frame rate..   that way they can advertise a 640x480 game, but actually
end up only animating a 320x200 window as you suggested..

(I'd love to see Dungeon Master redone in full 640x480 too..!)
