RE: Duke Nukem 3D free at GOG
I'm not sure how you figure that the games are somehow uglier running in dosbox. They always looked like shit - we just had better imaginations. Then again, I use a monitor that is only 4" larger than the one I had back in '97, so that might have something to do with it. I don't remember higher resolutions doing much for build engine games anyway other than making the crosshair smaller, so yeah, 320x240 is going to look extra shitty on a 24"+ screen.
As for performance, dosbox lets you specify the number of CPU cycles the game gets, so if something is running slow, you just crank that number up, and it should be fine.
