If it runs in DOSbox you probably can. Did you try Alt-Enter?

The shiny new stuff has probably ruined some of the classic games for me 
too. On the other hand, I'm enjoying the HD remakes of Broken Sword 
(playing #2 now which have not played before) and previously Monkey 
Island. I'd love to see some of the Sierra catalog HD'd, would re-buy 
them in a heartbeat. ;)
