Alt+Enter switches between windowed and fullscreen.
Switch out to windowed and back to full screen and it'll stretch it.

That's how it's supposed to be. There's no fixing anything. If you stretch it, you're unfixing it.

Just because it's the way it's meant to be doesn't make it any better.

I love the game but I still think the lack of support for more resolutions is a bit of a, "miss," as they say.

I thought it was odd at first, but after looking into the game a bit more and knowing when it takes place, it kinda makes sense.

I'm not saying it's better than not being in widescreen. I'm saying because it's not in widescreen, keeping it the way it is would be better than changing it to fake widescreen.

Um......what does the storyline of the game have to do with the resolution??!?

It takes place in 1987, and 4:3 was the standard ratio back then. I also doubt they had widescreen security cameras at the time.

May i remind that the year right now is 2014 and that most people prefer fullscreen? sure it takes place in 1987 and the ratio for screens was that, but well, frankly it doesnt matter, that doesnt make sense, in other words, youre saying that the entire game is being played on a 1987 computer, well, that would mean youre playing a game inside a game, which makes no sense, and may i remind you that when you check the cameras in game on your little device, that its fullscreen? so sorry, but i think that arguement is just invalid, i do not believe storyline has to do with the resolution on your laptop, it just doesnt

Games within games exist. Look at the dot hack series as an example. It's not unheard of. As for the theory that it's because the game is based in the 80's, yeah, it's a bit of a stretch. It's certainly an interesting idea though. More likely it's a limitation of the game engine or something. Either way, it's altered without too much trouble whether you want it in wide screen with bars or full screen.

You can press alt+enter to go to window mode, then hit the maximize button. It will look weird, but it should fix your black bar problem. I personally would not like it if it was 19:6, 4:3 for this just works.
