How to run the game in a bigger window?

[Axiom]

I'd like to play this, but I am myopic, and the default window is so small I can hardly see anything. I know about Alt+Enter feature, but when I make the game fullscreen it eats away a quarter of the screen for some reason. What can I do? If there is any program that lets you change the size of the window I would really appreciate it.

I have the same problem, even importing it into scummVM doesn't let me set the window to full screen size

I have fullscreen on Scumm just fine.

That's not the same as a big window

Does anyone know how to just make the window bigger? When i play Curse of Monkey island i have no trouble resizing. But when i play this i can't resize the window.

It might have something to do with the rendering mode but I don't know more than that

Try using Scummvm engine to play 'Curse of Monkey Island and then press F5 to launch the various game options including full size window, subtitles, game volume etc

if using dosbox, you can edit the dosbox.conf to set any window resolution you want. Use "overlay" instead of surface output render, and whether or not you want aspect correction. The conf is likely using surface output render by default which is likely why you aren't getting screen fill on fullscreen to begin with.

Thank you!!

How do you actually run the game through Dosbox? I have the program installed. Haven't figured that out yet.

Edit: SO i found this, https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-use-DOSBox-for-Beginners/.

I copied the game files to a folder for dosbox in my Cdrive. When I attempted to do the final steps here, THEDIG~1.EXE or THEDIG~1 EXE. Nothing Happens. DosBox now wont respond and the program idles, doing nothing. I have to exit the program to try again.

Are you dragging the dig exe onto the dosbox shortcut or dosbox exe?
If that doesn't work it should be compatible with scummvm
