When I first played hit the road, I must have been in my first year of middle school.
I fell in love with the charming retro ambiance and cleverly stupid writing.

However, while the classic pixelated art style looked charming on my tiny pizza box of a laptop at the time, my current overly large modern monitor just makes the game look like a jumbled mess of vague shapes and colors.

This guide is here to help you touch the visuals up a bit using Scummvm's built in filters to make the game look closer to what a remastered edition might look like.

Run the game and hit F5.

Save your progress if you haven't already.

Now, Hit
Return to Launcher


Once in the Scummvm Launcher, hit Options.

Under Graphics and in Graphics mode select AdvMAME3x.


Hit Apply then OK and Voilà, you're done!

Load your old save and take a look at the visual overall.

Feel free to fiddle with the other filters, I just liked AdvMAME3x the best.
It gives the game smooth and almost hand drawn vibe to it that reminds me of some of the later Monkey Island games.

I hope you've gotten some good use out of this guide you bucket heads!

Thanks for reading!

I'll leave you with a few comparison screenshots:
