I wish I could find this "Abandoned" game somewhere.

Took me ~10 seconds to find.

Guys, I've tried to play it, but it looks as ugly as fuck.

I have a 19' inch widescreen monitor that the game doesn't support - is there anything that can be done?
Maybe a little something for the resolution, as now it looks like a bunch of very big pixels on the screen.

I guess it looks so bad because of the monitor, because I remember playing The Longest Journey back when I had a 17'' inch CRT and it looked quite good actually.
So can I do anything to improve the visual experience?

Serves you right for buying a widescreen.

Your video card settings must have an option to enable gpu scaling and keep the original aspect ratio. This way at least the game won't stretch. Also you can try forcing AA and AF from the same panel.

If he has ATI forcing gpu scaling may be a problem due to crappy drivers. With NVidia it isn't much better though.

I have 20" widescreen and the game looks quite nice. As for pixelated characters - welcome to the voxel world, at least it is software rendered.

Yeah, I have a Radeon 1950Pro and I get the impression the picture is not scaled at all. I guess I'll try with my Catalyst control suite

You might as well try to force the games to run at their default resolution without scaling, which will result in a very small picture with black bars around, however. You receive a perfect 1:1 image quality, albeit at a cost.

I'm playing it now on Microsoft Virtual PC, (in a windowed mode) so it actually looks better than a full screen view.

Maybe try that?

On the subject of Dickian adventures: anyone played Ubik? Any good?

It's an interesting game, and as far as I've played (about until half), it's worth playing, but interface is terribly terribly clanky. You have to invest some time and concentration just to get used to it, to learn to avoid making intuitive mistakes because of the unintuitive interface. If you can get past that, it's kind of like a cyberpunk tactical game with interesting story bits and adventuring.
