It couldn't have been more than 800x600 max


Which Warcraft did you mean? In Warcraft3 you could set any resolution you liked. Starcraft was still fixed at 640*480 or something. But for 2D graphics this was ok. 3D graphics below 800*600 are terrible though, you simply cannot evade some aliasing unlike 2D graphics were every pixel is put exact where it is intended to be.

When I played PC games I always used 1024*768 and optimized everything to this resolution. Which in general gave good results. Anything less than 800*600 was unacceptable, anything over 1280*1024 almost not noticeable.
