     Okay; so, the idea is to run Apple2 stuff on your PC. (Even so, 
getting an Apple II makes sense. You will be able to run many more 
A2 wares on a real Apple II than via an emulator. At any decent swap 
meet, you should be able to find a IIe for less than $30.)

     AppleWin performs well on our '486 under Windows 3.1. Games look and 
work on the PC much the same as on our Apple II+. There has been no 
problem with blurred images.

     Try running some other game. It may be that something is wrong with 
the DSK of Legacy'.

     It is, also, possible that Legacy' uses some graphics tricks which 
AppleWin does not handle well on your machine at your current display 
settings. For example, the game does employ vertical dithering to produce 
colors like gold and brown. Even the text seems to be in dithered 
color. This works fine on a composite monitor but may produce a different 
effect on a super-res screen.
