All displays were 4:3 back then. The resolution of 320x200 didn't exist because of 16:10, but because the total number of pixels was below 64k, which is not the case for 320x240. SQ is far from the only game that uses non-square pixels. In fact, if you do find a game that runs at 320x200 and actually assumes square pixels, you likely found sloppy art direction.

>Given the aspect ratio of a 320×200 resolution screen for use on a 4:3 display, Mode 13h does not have square pixels.
While SQ is definitely not Mode 13h, the same restrictions apply.

Pic's a rather well known non-Sierra adventure, which does use Mode 13h and non-square pixels.
