hi,
actually it's not exactly that. first of all, they don't work on certain
computers. that is correct. once my asttempt at playing the demo of shoot on
someone's desktop with xp, nvda and the command prompt yielded a slow game.
it took like 15 seconds after you hit enter to actually get the result, but
it's not the case everywhere.
I had no problems playing with xp and NVDA, or vista with NVDA but the pc
speaker beeps were not quite working. that seemd to effect only vista
another of my friends fixed the problem he had by lowering the priority of
the games and imho if someone wants these games I don't see what is a
problem with at least trying to see if they work on his or her machines. I'm
well aware that they don't work everywhere,
and if needed I could write some file with fixing common issues people had
like repeating speech or slowe game play.
and I won't mension how many people play old mainstream games on modern day
machines.

Hi Josh,
No, the old PCS games are not available for people with today's computers.
You would need a windows 98 operating system, and a hardware based
synthesizer like deck talk or double talk to get them to work.
This is the system they were designed for.
As I don't wish to take messages about the dos game not running I do not
plan on selling them or putting them up for free.

Subject: [Audyssey] old dos games under windows?
Hi,
Is the any night football game for DOS free? if so can the old dos games
be played under windows and what screen reader works best for these
games? Also what about the old dos shoot game? does that one work and
where can it be obtained?
Josh
