Comment (by athrxx):

 So, should we just have an option for the SCI1 Windows targets not to do
 the ugly upscale?

 For the other (non-KQ6) games this can already be achieved easily by
 setting the platform to DOS instead of Windows. But that will block the
 access to the Windows 16 colors mode. So even there it might be nice to
 have such an option.

 For KQ6, in hires mode, it would change the proportions between the hi-res
 content and the background. I have never tested that concept, so I don't
 know if it would work (it probably would). But it might be less disturbing
 for some users than having the upscale artifact.
