Well if you're running them directly from DOS they should automatically be full-screen (and if they aren't they probably don't have a full screen mode, or you have to go to the games options or something.) If you're running them from windows pressing alt-enter will maximize the window they're running in.

R-click on the PIF for the game, choose properties, then the screen tab, check the box to run full screen.

Maybe try to reset the screen size to 640x480 from the windows properties and then try the game... Just a thought.
