You're right, with a caveat. While it's true that 320x200 VGA DOS resolutions didn't have scanlines, arcade games and home computers did, and generally looked much better. A MS-DOS arcade port for example would look very blocky, while the Amiga counterpart would be fine in comparison. Scanlines are integral to that correct old-school look IMO, so it's very cool to have the option of replaying old classics like the Lucasgames stuff with that vibe.
