I had a problem playing the games in full screen. It would not fit on the screen and it is like it is stretched beyond the boarders of my TV screen. I turned my resolution down from 1080P to 720P on my computer and then it started to display more correctly. It was irritating before I found this. I tried fiddling with the DOSBox options for hours. I ran the a game directly with DOSBox instead of the 3D Realms Anthology front end and it ran fine with no resolution issues. I decided to try different resolutions on my computer to see if one would work better with the front end. It is kind of a pain to do everything from command line when ~ symbol key doesn't work. I suppose I could try to map it but I just wanted the game to work. I found 720P works the best for me. I did have this running better on my older DLP TV and I had a different video card. My old video card was an R9 270x and ran fine on that. My current graphics card is a GTX 970 and my HDTV is a Samsung LCD 1080P. I hope this helps you avoid or ends hours of head ache. If any of the devs are reading this can you please add a screen resolution selector or better HDTV and possibly graphics card profile support in the next update?
