How to get back true color mode in VirtualBox?

I have a Windows 7 x86 VM which I run in Virtual Box. Sometimes, when I play Alpha Centaurie, it ends with the VM only displaying 256 colors. When I go to Screen Resoltution, I only see: enter image description here

I tried rebooting the VM, but that never helps. Playing Aplha Centaurie again sometimes helps.

Is there a way to enable True Color Mode again?
