IBM PC EGA 640x350 games

Only a few famous EGA games supported 640x350 resolution because EGA 640x350 required a high-resolution monitor.

This is a chronological list of IBM PC games that were coded to display in EGA 640x350 as opposed to EGA 320x200.

Cyrus Chess IBM PC 1985

Cyrus is a chess simulator. Intelligent Chess Software Ltd. developed Cyrus for IBM PC MS-DOS in 1985. Cyrus' playfield displays in 16-color EGA 640x350. I wrote "400" in the infographic because the text employs more v-pixels. But the graphics drawspace is 640x350.
