You kept the quality by going windowed & settling for a tiny display area instead if I am correct, about 8 hexes across from a guess taken at maximum zoom level.
Off topic but humour me how many hexes can you see at 1 off minimum zoom, i.e. zoom right out & in one.

i own the CD in both games and play at 640 x 480 or whatever it is all the time.. no problem with bleeding eye balls. 
The only time i get eye strain is when i up the resulution and then the text gets smaller,,,,, a little over emphasis on the poor quality i'm thinking  |
If 640 x 480 is all you play, even with the CD Version, then of course you are used to it. Before I got the CD Version, I could only go up to 800 x 600, so 640 x 480 wasn't that big of a deal. Try running on something like 1080p native res for 2 - 3 years and tell me that 640 x 480 doesn't look absolutely appalling.
