If i run it without -fullscreen, i don't have that problem.
I looked into the issue with this game (which was not that obvious without having access to the source code).

Based on my observations, this seems to be an issue with the game itself rather than with the VM. The game is not capable of resizing its canvas and changing the layout whenever the available screen real estate changes (e.g. display height increases when going full screen).

I think the game basically detects the width and height at the start of the game, and then assumes they stay that way. Perhaps the midlet was targeted to a particular device for which this is true, but for the N900 this assumption is not valid.

The only fix for the game is to have it support dynamic re-layouting (like e.g. Opera Mini which also uses a canvas to render its stuff).

Cheers,
Davy
