I think you got the worng version of bananoid; there are two versions of the game :
one for standard VGA (320x200x256) which shows only half the screen, and one for some special
VGA-card (forgot the name) which shows the entire screen.

This is absolutely untrue : standard VGA is 320x200x256 and 640x480x16 (and all lower modes
supported by ega cga and such).
