Brad,
Your problem is the PC monitor, The games originaly were intended to run on Arcade monitors. Although very dangerous to work with if you don't know what you are doing (like me) they would give you the best result. I have heard that TVs use a similar if not identical refresh rates and resolutions, so I am trying to find the best way to run a tv in dos 6.2 with arcadeos (since arcadeos can be configured to run on tv refresh rates and resolutions. Now to use a tv you need a video card with tv out or a scan converter that will work in dos. I have found a cheap scan converter at comp usa that only requires an ibm compatible 286 or faster. Since windows 95 requires a 486 running 60mhz or faster I have to believe that is will work in dos 6.2, The other bonus is that the box says no software required.
I hope this helps, I am having the same problem with my 17" pc monitor and this is what I have found out. Good Luck.
