IBM PC EGA 640x350 games
Only a few famous EGA games supported 640x350 resolution.
16-color 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.
cf. Battle Chess 1988 IBM PC and Chessmaster 2000 of 1986 and Battle Chess of 1988 on the Amiga:
Risk IBM PC 1986
Risk was released for IBM PC MS-DOS in 1986. A graphics-strategy game, Risk was coded by Russell Fleming. Requiring 384 kbytes RAM and 256 kbytes vRAM, Risk displays in 16-color 640x350 EGA. Supports 1-6 players.
