I bought this game from GOG a few days ago and when I tested it out I noticed that the game did not fill the screen, is this normal for this game? Or is it my video card on my laptop, there are no options to choose widescreen, etc.

The YouTube videos look widescreen.
How close to filling your screen does it get?
What's your laptop's screen resolution?

EDIT -- When I start the game, it throws up a window that asks me what I want for screen resolution and graphics quality.
Do you not see that window when you start the game?
The default is 1024x768 and "fastest" graphics (which would be the low end type).

I selected several different resolutions on that startup window that Jenny mentioned, and they all ran full screen. There's also a checkbox on that startup window that's labeled "Windowed". Make sure that checkbox is NOT checked.

Woohoo thanks Jenny100, I see that screen so often that I no longer pay attention to it, but when you pointed it out, I played around with the different resolutions and finally it was the last one "1600 X 900" that gave me a nice Full Screen.

Once again, thanks for taking the time to look into this for me, and also thank you UncleReg for your input.

Now I am a Happy Camper.

Glad it's working now.

It's nice that this game offers the choice of such a wide variety of resolutions, both widescreen and otherwise. Not all games do that.

I just bought and downloaded this game, myself, fellow Boomers. Loving it.
