It sounds as if you changed the screen resolution to something useless. Reflash the stock ROM using Odin (you should be able to find the stock ROM on SamMobile Firmwares ) and the phone should work again. (Make sure it's the ROM for your model/carrier/country S3. Flashing the wrong ROM could brick the phone.)

In the future, make sure all your data is backed up, play all you want, but don't change the screen resolution until you read about it and understand what changing it does. (Making it too small to read means that you can't get back to PMR and change it back.)
