I knew about Flink but not Captain Planet.
I'm sure I've come across maybe 2 - 3 others in my Amiga game playing but forgot exactly what they were... and not prepared to go through 2800 games to find out |

I'd imagine it is quite rare, because (as a game developer) I can say that a lot of gameplay is based around the visible "area" around the character

Actually some Maxis games have windows and scaling ability, e.g. RoboSport, Sim Ant, Sim City 2000...

Yeah it was more to see non workbench style games, but from peoples memories it sounds like it was a pretty rare thing, i did go through other Mindscape games to see if any others are the same, but no others the same.
Tony Crowther’s other game Phobia also has a NTSC/PAL switch and a high res mode so looks like he liked to give the player a good range of options, but seems so far only Captain Planet allowed window resizing outside the aforementioned genres. |

Another World changes with F1-F4. Not very practical though.

Sliders is another game i've found, although i don't see the point as the game is plenty fast enough full screen, why you want to make the screen smaller other to speed up a game is a bit strange!

Good point stevsurv, so the same can be said for Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds and the modification; Alien Breed 3D II - Xenium Core.
And I also think Breathless, Project Battlefield and Project Intercalaris... or is my memory failing me and the resolution is changed via Menu --> Options? |

But the OP stated "Excluding FPS games", as this is pretty much a given thing with them
