Another vote for Cyclone, and the amazingly good fun Kickstart II.

Edit: Regarding conversions of Sinclair Spectrum games. Yes, the resolution is 256x192. But that does not mean you have to use that - you have double the CPU power and way more graphics power than a speccy, so just use bigger screens!

"But Dunny, that's not possible!" you cry. Well, it is. Not for all the games out there, but it is. For example:

Cyclone displays a small window onto the game world. Just make that window bigger. Boom!.
Pyjamarama, or other Wally Week games - display small portions adjacent map screens at the edge of the current screen, to fill the gaps.
Same for say, Sabre Wulf - just display more of the map in the edges of the screen where there would be blank space. It's not like we don't have the power to do that.
