so far with NVDA all the games I tested work like they did in dos. your
baseball game for dos I had some trouble getting it to work, and
sometimes in world series baseball things are read twice by nvda. other
than that they work great.

Hi Josh,
When you say that the dos games work, I was just wondering if they work
anything like they used to on a dos machine with a dos screen reader and
hardware synthesizer. That is the text if it was meant to, got spoken
automatically. And do built in review keys work? I used built in
review keys even in my dos games. Sighted people would not see it, but
I could write to the screen right over top of the same text and do it so
that it was or was not spoken by the screen reader.
I still miss the locate function to locate and print text where you
wanted it on the screen. And of course the screen was always 80 columns
by 25 rows. And Jaws for dos would report row and column if you asked
it to. I was happy to put text on the screen when I could make sure
that it would be spoken and be sure of it's format and position on the
screen. Now I am in Windows where that is not as easy for me to do, so
I am more happy using the sapi5 text to speech engine.
