You'd expect home consoles to pose no issues regarding aspect ratio. After all, everybody had 4:3 TVs. 📺
But look at these SNES games...
With square pixels (8:7), the moon in Metal Warriors (1995) is distorted – clearly meant to be stretched horizontally upon display. 🌑
Strike Gunner S.T.G. (1992) doesn't account for stretching, though. The helicopter blades will be oval in 4:3. 😢
I guess, between cheap TVs and composite video, few cared about this.
