Hi Cara, I am not sure. Its possible the legacy version of the games on the Atari Flashback take wide screen in to consideration, and they'd almost have to considering most televisions now days all are for wide screen formats.
I guess the games that are setup for full screen would behave more or less like old movies in that you would just end up with black strips to the left and right of the game screen, and the game itself would appear in a square in the center of the screen. Hard for me to say for sure since I have had non-functioning eyeballs for quite a while now, and haven't really had to worry about how older things look on a newer wide screen TV. Cheers!
