Universal Arcade on iMac: low 3D quality

[Danoc]

Does anyone know why many 3D Arcade games look terrible on iMac (using M1 but could be the same for Intel iMac). Example: Fantasian is blurry; Detonation Racing, which looks good on iPhone, is horrible on iMac, pixelated, lacking some effects (blur).

I would say it's because the game was written for an iOS device and not a desktop... thus there isn't enough graphics definition in the game to support larger screen sizes.

Apple just allowed you to run games on your desktop... it didn't say developers would create content or change their content to support the larger displays.

If true, that's a bummer because that's not how the service is marketed.

For non-Apple Arcade games, I heard that MacOS can run iOS apps, but even then, there are limitations there too, like how to simulate multi-touch. I also figured that games would NOT be optimized to run on MacOS hardware
