Gibush: I have Hit the Road on a CD (garage sale victory!) and I'm going to play it now actually.
Do you recommend using DOSbox or ScummVM?
I've played like 10 minutes of it, not much so far.
PS: What do you mean by something is "off"?
I just mean it feels less like the comics than the Telltale games do (to me), it's still a great game!
What to pick to play it with depends on a few things.
What's the native resolution of your monitor?
DOSBox will scale to arbitrary (and large) resolutions and correct and maintain aspect ratio for you. ScummVM will only scale the game to a maximum of 960x600 (960x720 with aspect ratio correction).
Also how DOS savvy are you? ScummVM is definitely easier to set up than DOSBox.
At one time I would have picked ScummVM no questions asked. Nowadays, I'd be more likely to pick DOSBox though.
