Comment:

 It looks like everything is okay here, as we do initialize phant1 to full
 screen video. That setting (flag 127) is then persisted to PREF.DAT by the
 game scripts. The user can also change it in the game UI.

 What happened here is that the player ran the game in DOSBox first, where
 Sierra's interpreter would have initialized flag 127 based on the
 "videospeed" value in the RESOURCE.CFG that came with Steam. I don't know
 what that is, but if it's less than 426 then it would initialize to half
 screen, write that value to PREF.DAT, and ScummVM would then read that
 back on subsequent plays. Or, if Steam includes a PREF.DAT that's already
 set to half screen, that would do it too.

 Either way, a fresh phant1 in ScummVM always defaults to full screen
 video. The solution here, as the player found, was to toggle the Full
 Screen within the game's UI, all of which is the same experience as in the
 original.
