I think it still looks pretty good. Remember, it runs in 640x480 though, so if you're playing on a bigger monitor, those pixels are stretched pretty far.

What I need to figure out is how to make my laptop expand the damn screen so I don't gotta play on a 6 inch screen.

yeah, it's the stretching that makes it look ugly to me. so it would probably look better in a smaller size, as when windowed. sucks that games don't make that option much anymore

it is but you have to put it into window mode at the right time...I think mid-game or after you access the game menu? I remember having to do this when I had one of those old fixed frequency monitors...
