Few easy steps for unblurring the game

If you are not satisficed with the blurry look of the game and just want a quick fix, this is how:

Right-click on the game in the library and then select: Manage -> Browse local files.
Open the base1 folder and make a copy(backup) of the keen1.conf file in case something goes wrong.
Open the original keen1.conf file with a text editor (Right-click on the file and select: Open with... -> Notepad)
In the [sdl] section of the file, change the text:
output=ddraw to output=openglnb (this removes the blur)
fullresolution=800x600 to fullresolution=desktop (this will correct the image even more),
then save the file.

In case of issues, you can also change fullresolution=800x600 to a specific resolution that you want (for example fullresolution=1366x768) !!! The game won't open if the values are larger than what is supported by the display !!!
Repeat all the steps for folder base1 to base5 with files keen1.conf to keen5.conf.

Note: This method doesn't provide prefect square pixels but the result should be "good enough".
