the "fancy, 3d, un-outlined game" is the game with shaders,
if you dont have shaders (like me :P) you get the "horrible" version.
to enable shaders, go to the game, click setup, options, the tick the box next to shaders.
if when you click it the graphics dont change and you see that the box is unticked, it means your graphics card does not support shaders.
if that is the case, save up and get a new graphics card
