While it is true that the game used 320×200 px VGA video mode for graphics display, at the time of it's release all such software was meant to be displayed on a 4:3 CRT monitor. This pull request add an Alt+A keyboard shortcut for switching between the square-pixel 16:10 aspect ratio and the intended-but-stretched 4:3 aspect ratio. A similar option is available e.g. in the recent Android port of Deluxe Ski Jump 2 and works quite well there.
The default display mode is left unchanged, as without anti-aliasing the 4:3 mode looks rather wobbly at the default scaling ratio. However when aspect ratio correction is enabled on a 1600×1200 px display, it should give a nice and round 5:6 horizontal to vertical pixel scaling ratio, resulting in a sharp picture.
