The Amiga's "PAL:Super Hires Laced" mode works very well if you set the TV to widescreen (if said TV does de-interlacing). I imagine plain old Hires does too although I haven't tried it. I don't think any of the Speccy's single screenmode would look reasonable in 16:9, but Tasword 2 had an unfeasibly tiny font which was taller than it was wide, so that might look OK.
