The short answer is no.
the eamon games were originally written in apple basic and frank has
constructed eamon deluxe to use straight out basic which is a 16 bit
application, and thanks to lovely microsoft those no longer work on 64 bit
machines.
this is fine for sighted people sinse frank has compiled a version of eamon
deluxe to run with the dosbox emulator, but unfortunately text on dosbox
isn't readable by screen readers.
rank is trying to find a way around this problem, but nothing has come up
thus far (another reason I'm sticking with windows xp).
There is however a rather longer solution to play eamon, and indeed many
other games, that is to run windows xp through a virtual machine which can
indeed be done on 64 bit windows.
I'm afraid I don't know ho to do that myself sinse I'm still on xp (thank
goodness), but I know people have managed it with eamon and with other
games too.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
