Okay, so Windows 3.1x could be useful with just CGA. Nice. 😀

And glad to hear work is progressing on the game. 😀

Windows 3 also has an "Super CGA" support in the form of the 640x400 Toshiba and Olivetti M24 drivers.

Not too few third-party CGA cards had silently supported it, but required an 400 line display.
Which often was provided with internal LCD or plasma screens that had 4:3 aspect.
Matching CRT monitors had to be multisync etc.

Here's how Windows 3 looked on 640x400. Almost like VGA monochrome.
