Possible Graphics Settings

Can BG1 be played in another graphics size setting, like BG2 can? How?

I think you're pretty much stuck with the one setting. The problem is that if you play BG I full screen, you're going to get large pixels and a very 'blocky' kind of effect. I personally prefer to play it in a 640 x 480 window; smaller maybe, but at least the graphics are clear and sharp.

Just out of interest, how hard would it be to make BG1 play under the BG2 engine?

I presume the scripting language will be the same, and all the items & spells are already in BG2. So it should be just a case of moving around files, and maybe generating a new chitin.key?

Anyone know enough to tell me why this idea is unworkable?

bg looks fine full screen on my 17inch monitor, doesnt look blocky though im not sure what res its set to, whatever default is probably, do people play it windowed?

Default and only res is 640*480. That should be fine up to about 17 inches. Anyone playing on a 21 will proabably be annoyed by the pixels. In which case I have a simple solution. Sit further from the monitor.
