Umm... get a stronger prescription for your glasses maybe?

BG resolution, IIRC, defaults to 800x600 (or something close to that) no matter what.

Only other option I can think of is to play on a bigger monitor.

The in-game graphics options have a choice of full screen or windowed.

Oy, and here I am just assuming that everyone automatically runs the game full screen.

If you install tutu mode, you can play in a bigger resolution.
