I tried the VESA mode, but, like you said, it don't work to well. The movies would crash the game, and it ran VERY slow. I think the audio might have been scratchy too, but I don't remember. I think the reason for that was because the VESA was only meant for Windows. I could be wrong though. I just remember from ages past when I played it, I could never get the game to look as good in DOS as it did in Windows. For one thing, the movies lack sound effects in the DOS (VGA) version, lightning..motorcycle...etc. And the icons were much smaller, and the usuable objects appeared much clearer. I have a feeling the VGA version will probably be the best we'll ever be able to get out of DOSBox.

Oh, I have an Alienware computer, with 2.16 Gig AMD processor. So it ain't a shabby machine.
