 Replying to [comment:12 dfabulich]:

 > Police Quest 4 is also affected, but it's not as bad, because PQ4
 renders text separately at high resolution.

 Police Quest 4 does stretching? I didn't know.

 > Laura Bow 2, EcoQuest 1, EcoQuest 2, and Space Quest 4 all do ugly
 upscaling in Windows mode

 Pepper's Adventures in Time does and The Dagger of Amon Ra do too, in
 Windows mode. Though there are some that don't, apparently? I've generally
 just avoided the Windows mode, though KQ6 and GK1 do present a compelling
 reason for using it.)

 (Either way, I'm probably not the intended target audience for this so
 don't feel bound by any speculations I may make!)
