I don't know if this is specifically a Windows 7 problem or what, but help on this would be appreciated.
Some older AGS titles I've had this problem with--
*Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment
*Other Worlds
*Just Another Point N Click Adventure
*some others I can't think of right now
In terms of functionality, they're fine, but the graphics are all screwed up, like someone cranked the contrast meter in Photoshop all the way up. There's bright trippy colors where they shouldn't be.
Any way to fix this or are these gems just doomed on a hi-res monitor?
Have you tried running them in a window?
I've downloaded AitGoFW just now, and while it won't run at fullscreen for me, it runs fine in a window.
I hate windowed mode though, I can't see anything. ::)
Windows 7 is seriously pissing me off!
Newer versions of the engine have all kinds of filters which you can use to increase the window size.
Older games don't have those, but if the game isn't way old, you can use a newer engine to run it.
-Rename the game's exe file to "ac2game.dat"
-copy acwin.exe from AGS 2.72 into the game dir
-from the command prompt or using a shortcut, run "acwin.exe --setup"
-choose the x2 or x3 filter, & windowed mode
