Hello! Just wondering if there is a way to get the artificial scan lines that gog adds to some of their releases on this - I feel it would make the game look 10x better :)

DOSBox has a scanline scaler. To activate it start the DOSBox configurator/graphic mode setup, go to advanced settings, and there under scaling engine either choose scan2x or scan3x (whatever works better for your resolution). Oh and if you want to play in window with scanlines you need to change the window resolution setting to something else then original (something bigger then the game resolution), because the scaler is only used if the graphic output is really scaled.

I personally never liked scanlines even back in the day, but some people really seem to like them. To each their own I guess.

Edit: Looking over the scalers in the DOSBox wiki (http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Scaler), you could also try the tv2x and 3x scaler, it also has scanlines and is supposed to look more CRT TV like).

Thanks! Where is the config. file, by the way?

You don't even have to do it by hand, GOG has a config program for DOSBox they install with every DOSBox game. You can use the "Dosbox Configurator/Graphic Mode Setup" link from the Start menu folder of the game of the configurator option in GOG Galaxy.

I was about to install the Galaxy client, but then I realized my OS doesn't meet the requirements. Thanks again, though!

On a positive note, I found the config file in the package contents and adjusted it that way - and now it looks great!
