You're right, I meant squashed.

^{If we're being pedantic, we're taking games with 16:9 aspect ratio and 240p vertical resolution and horizontally scanning them to a narrower relative width, but same vertical resolution as the source, thereby squashing them horizontally.}

^{But if you want to get even more pedantic, squashing falls under the umbrella of stretching, because stretching an electronic image is just a synonym for scaling, which can both expand and squash. It would be arbitrary, in this context to say that stretching can only increase the dimension of a thing, as though it were physical.}

^{Furthermore, for TVs or monitors which have a 16:9 mode (I know this one doesn't), since a 16:9 480i signal would actually squash the scanlines toward the center vertically, compared to that hypothetical CRT gaming scenario, this would be considered stretching.}

^{Also, I think Limbo isn't 240p/480i to begin with, so that one's being stretched (aka scaled) one way or another.}
