Data some browser support zooming by themselves.
Perharps people who want zoomed images should install such a browser instead of making

Kosta Guess we need a poll then? Let the public decide?

Well, actually its even easier than that. I can just force double size inside the html img tag and the browser will do exactly the kind of resizing we are talking about here... it would be dead easy.... but I'm thinking 90% of users will be quite surprised to find simply a scaled-up version of the same screenshot after clicking on it...

Well, yes and no. Sorry, I'm being the devil's advocate here, but those who run up their resolution so the screen shots are about the size of a thimble may appreciate it.

Not that it matters to me. If I want to see the game bigger I download and run it.

Yeah, but the 320 one shows all the detail just as well. Making a scrip that would blow them up to double size is just pointless if you ask me.

I'd have to disagree with you on this Kosta. If you could do it as a script that dynamicly enlarged the screenshot without having to store more screenies on the system, I'd say that seems like a low cost easy way to give those with higher resolutions a closer look. The only down side is if the picture was scaled down the scaled up would be a scaled up of the scaled down, maybe not as good.

But still, if you could do this with a script, I say that sounds like a good idea.

Icewolf Don't get me wrong.
I don't wanna improve the screenshot I want to enlarge it.
No matter if I get better details. Just for having a closer look.
That sometimes happens when cards of strategy or sim games are shown.
But most of time the provided screenshots are absolutely sufficient! k:

Maikel except that I cant see them that well on my 1600x1200 resolution

So streching them would probably make them look crappy and that isn't worth the effort 'cause you had to check over and over...
Hmm... Too bad.
I just thought about the possibility that you could do like
image-size: 200% (or higher(in CSS)) but the page is in PHP and I don't know PHP(yet).

Well, if the image has a too small resolution it probably won't work anyways.

Thanks for your time! k:

Actually. The screens which are actually 320x240 won't look that crappy when you boost them. Pixels will become more obvious off course, but as long as you make sure you double the dimensions and not use margins like 123% everything will still look pretty ok.

check Mobygames for instance. They use blown up images. When you download their pics, you can see they are actually 320x200 or 320x240
