Run in 'windowed mode' :: Like many older titles of this type, they are designed to be run on
display hardware that is 4:3 aspect and can natively support a 640x480 fullscreen resolution.
For a lot of us with newer widescreen 16:9/10 display hardware, this means running things in
'windowed' mode (Emulate a virtual desktop). Doing that in itself is easy enough (see below),
but using the GOG version (or anything I guess that uses DOSbox) means things can get 'clumsy'.
The best idea is to manually set 640x480 as the default size, and that way the game window
pops-up mid-screen.


Use cxsetup to configure the bottle using winecfg to run in windowed
mode ('Emulate a virtual desktop');

0. Start  cxsetup

1. Highlight the bottle you installed the game into

2. Click on 'Configure' => 'Control Panel' => 'winecfg' -- the Wine Configuration GUI will appear




3. Now click on 'Graphics' tab => tick  'Emulate a virtual desktop'





4. After enabling virtual desktop mode, you will see 'Desktop size' element becomes active => change this to 640 x 480





5. Click on 'Apply' => 'Ok' => 'Ok'

6. Exit cxsetup - play the games!
