Alternate name: Half resolution

This is a curious method of screen resolutions as usually both the UI and the game world share the same resolution setting. Generally involves stretching the lower resolution part to the higher one.

NOT for reducing the display area as was common in older games.

Most of these probably allow freely setting the resolutions, but some may limit the game world resolution to "half" (essentially pixel doubling) and "full" (same as UI).
