Screen Caps for older computer games

I'm trying to make pictures of screen caps from some older video games such as Doom by using Prt Scrn and then pasting into Photoshop. All I get is a posterized mess. Any suggestions on adjustments I should make? Thanks!

Most old video games have their own built in screen cap function. If you try to use windows' screen cap function, you'll end up getting a mess because the game runs off a palette, and the palette is different between the game and your desktop.
