Is there any way to improve the video quality? It's so pixelated that it's almost unwatchable. I tried making it windowed instead of fullscreen, but that just gave me a tiny window with pixelation.

I thought maybe I was remembering it better than it was, but I saw a walkthrough on YouTube, and it was nice and crisp, like I remembered.

I have a 1920x1080 flat screen monitor.

The DOSBox settings that GOG has shipped the game with gives pretty bad video quality indeed. It look terrible on my 1680x1050 monitor. I am no expert on DOSBox but I think the game is running in VESA mode and that doesnt allow you to apply a scaler to improve the quality afaik.

Any tips for getting better video quality in this fantastic game?

Change dosboxGK2.conf as follows:

[sdl]
output=surface (or overlay, both should work)
fullresolution=original

I think it looks a way better than before.

You can turn off the Non-Interlace patch, too.

I've always thought that the openglnb output mode was by far the closest look to original, and you can set the resolution to 1920x1080 on it and everything still looks like it did on your 15" CRT.

i got mine on dotemu and it plays great but is VERY choppy so it being a FMV game it gets really really annoying.

I'm interested in fixing this problem too.
