is there any way to enlarge the screen for playing cos it only occupies like slightly more than 1/3 of my screen. even in full screen mode, the rest of the area is just black but game screen still same size.
is it supposed to be like that or something wrong with my settings?

Most likely something wrong with your settings.
Tell me your settings in the video options.

Did you enable scaling?

If your using the X11 version it could be that you don't have the appropriate screen mode setting in your config file (like /etc/X11/XF86Config). For example, if you want to run the game in 320x200 mode, your X Server needs to be able to switch to that mode. If your not using X11, I guess the same idea applies. Your video driver may not allow that screen mode.

I have the same problem, except that I know how to get around it. I like playing U7 as close to the original as possible so I play in 320x240 res in Point scaling x1 full screen. However, in order to get it to go full true screen I have to first switch to 640x480 x2 Point full screen. Then switch to the 320x240. After that I don't have to muck around with the res anymore.

A plus side to playing in the lower res is that the game runs really smooth

Just a quick note: the original runs in 320x200. (not 320x240)

thanx alot pple! finally got it working. although the price to pay for a nice full screen is a dramatic loss in resolution. the resolution is good as it was in the DOS version but its definitely better than a small screen.

anyway i was fiddling around with the NPC shape changer. try changing the Avatar into shape 163 (some boulder), and fight with someone or something. the graphics is pretty cool. (movement is awkward and you may have to double right click to walk)
