The steam version of XCOM - UFO defense uses dosbox.
The resolution is the same - big and blocky. I prefer to run it in a window, slightly enlarged. To do that, I just changed these parameters in steam/steamapps/common/xcom ufo defense/dosbox.conf
fullscreen=true --> fullscreen=false
windowresolution=original --> windowresolution=1024x768
output=surface --> output=ddraw
to smooth the edges, some, I also changed:
scaler=advinterp2x --> scaler=super2xsai
You can see the different scaler options and what they do here. Basically, different anti-aliasing options. The output I changed to ddraw since the others didn't support windowed mode in anything but default resolution.

Sorry... but the DOS version looks like it certainly has been abandoned. The one sold off of Steam will include a DosBox(or similar) runtime environment packaged with the game to run.

So it's the same DOS version just with DosBox pre-configured for it.
It's warez, and not even the abandonware flavor of warez since the game is still being sold.
