Games with Widescreen support - Standard Definition

This is a list of games with widescreen (16:9) video output support in the 5th generation of game consoles or earlier.  Only pre-6th generation games will be listed to present console games released before widescreen TVs and monitors were common.

The vast majority of these games use the anamorphic 16:9 format as their widescreen modes.  So you'll need to set your TV/monitor to stretch the image to full screen to get your game to display correctly. Some games, though, were letterboxed in widescreen; so in such cases you'll need to set your TV/monitor to crop or zoom the image in order to get full widescreen video output.
