Quote:By "true resolution drop" I don't mean scaled so much as windowed in such a way that the screen is still full resolution but the window "fools" the game into thinking it's full screen. Further, from what you describe, the bar on bottom and so on, I'm pretty sure you weren't playing the games full screen (as full screen as they got anyway) because there shouldn't be a status bar or any other bars around the game at all. Oh well.
Huh? *checks* You're right, there are no side lines, but there definitely is a white line on the bottom the the screen... as I said, the taskbar isn't hidden behind this game, like is usual in windows... the rest of the stuff I described is exactly as it is seen in the game. Big black borders on top and bottom to fit it to a different picture ratio, little white/grey bar on bottom because it isn't true fullscreen so the taskbar isn't obscured, blue bar on the top of the screen...

This doesn't quite make sense... can you explain it better?
Quote:Some people prefer Sierra's updated original games, some don't. I myself like having both games at my disposal because I find the little quirks in the different versions fun in their own right.
I find text input games annoying and prefer to avoid them when I can...
