Hey,
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to "improve" the video quality of old games (a placebo would work just as well).
For instance, running a game in windowed mode will help "tightening" the pixles, so that the video quality will improve.
Any ideas?

You said it yourself. Run the game in windowed mode = game's native resolution / run the game unscaled = fullscreen with black bars, but still the game's native resolution. :)

Take a look at Widescreen Gaming Forum, especially the forum itself. Often older games are restricted to something like 800x600. If you can modify it to work under better resolutions then that would definitely make the game look a little better.

Bad, "improving" old games graphics is just plain bad and wrong :-P

The only improvement I accept is the OpenGL + 2x scaling option in DOSBox with the original aspect ratio. Something more would kill me the desire to re-play old games....

If the game is 3D you might be able to force on a few options such as anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering via Nvidia Control Panel / Catalyst Control Centre. Just make sure you're setting it up for that one game only and not universally.

Kind of reminds me of the God of war collection on the PS3

The in-game graphics were improved and looked awesome, while the cinematics were untouched and it showed
