Now imagine that on a 2560x1600 monitor!
I bought good ole Populous 2 a little while ago off GOG. I fired it up 
once, howled in anguish and never clicked on the icon since. Seriously, 
it looked like something made of Lego, or maybe a minecraft clone (not 
that I'm particularly familiar with minecraft - it may look better 
than). Similar result for Conquest of the New World (deluxe) which I 
always wanted to play, but could never obtain in this little country at 
the time. 

If they (re-)release games they should make sure that they can be run on 
modern hardware. max resolution of 1024x768 is just not acceptable for 
modern flatscreen monitors.
