The game is very, vey slow and juddery Increase cycles, maybe? And of course if you're using a version you downloaded from somewhere, there's no guarantee the game is complete and functional. If you tried to install the game and experienced problems, see http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=24859 …

Those were actually the first thing I thought of, but there's no way those would be thought of as VGA. (Or is there?)

Those "games" were both around for a very long time. They might have been on floppy disk, and the characters definitely aren't famous. Are you sure it isn't them?

I'm still looking a fresh release with a bug-fix for the num-pad problem. If it's already in the SVN, then do as DosFreak suggests. If there's a patch somewhere, apply it and compile it yourself if you really need the fix. In fact, is this the problem? You can probably download a utility that …

Since this is a DOSBox problem, it should be in the DOSBox forum. Anyway, it's quite possible that on the original hardware the game also ran at a crawl and that destructible walls also blinked. There are other ways to run old DOS programs (like PCem or Bochs or perhaps VMware), but they are not …

Monitors are a really subjective thing, just use the one that appeals to you visually. Exactly. Some people claim that the 60 Hz and lower refresh rates used by older monitors cause them eye strain, but it never really bothered me much. It comes down to personal preference. If you have the space …
