Hi,
Mortal Kombat x, Killer instinct and injustice II are the ones I know so far.
Hope that helps.

The Narrator is pretty good.
Microsoft is striving to improve it this year.
Another thing they are working on is a text to speech engine for apps and games.
This will allow you to be able to read all game menus and dialog.
Game developers are starting to add audio cues to indicate where characters are 
on the screen.

Re: [Audyssey] Running DOS games on windows 10?

[Shaun Everiss]

Its not that bad.
The only issue I have had is getting agt games like cosmoserve to output 
properly.

Com0com is fine to get installed, com10 is what I use.

I do agree some of those commands are a bit inflexable.

You have to switch to that drive first.
But it all depends how you were brought up.
I was born in 1982, in 1991 I got my first computer.
for 5.5 years I used dos.
in 1996 I got my first windows system but still used dos.
in 2002 I got my next system with windows.
Still used dos for some stuff a bit less.
in 2006 I got my next system, still used dos a bit.
in 2010 I got another system.
Still used dos, though by then the system was dieing the battery got
vary hot and the drives were failing.
In 2011 I stopped using dos.
Its 2017 now and about 4 years back I got the system I am using now.
I only use windows, however through my teen years I used dos for
gaming etc.
Its true I used the keysoft shell most of my life so the only time I
ever did true dos were reformats, setups, or gaming so I probably
didn't do much.
Where I had to do something complex I set a batch file to do it though
I have read more complex dos stuff.
Dos died with the later windows and the fact with 64 bit units ms is
really pushing dos out.
Problem is now everyone thinks that if the system puts an error out
they expect to click something for it to go away, no one appreciates
how things work.
Judging from your mail, you were either going through the electronic
borg process between worlds of windows and dos or you had a hard time
of it.
Dos was a single task nightmare and sometimes I wished it could be a
bit better.
But I still liked it at times.
Even screen readers now are not as good as the dos ones were.

Josh,
That's because dos commands are complicated, confusing, and involve
far more detail than 90% of computer users ever want to deal
with.
Consider the following basic example:
c:\users\john> cd e:
c:\users\john>

Change directory to e:? Why am I still in my home directory?
Its because cd is complicated and painful, and requires you to
specify that you want to change drives, and if you don't, it won't
tell you something went wrong.

It is generally a good thing that commandlines are shifting to only
be used in rare circumstances, because without this change,
computers would never have grown to be what they are today.

Also remember that most people don't know how to use dos because,
quite simply, its immensely limited.
Dos may have been great in its heyday, but that time is long past.
640kb of memory can't even run hellow world now.

There are a couple fighting games, and I suppose Rock Band if you have tons

But the choices are minimal and not really worth it.

[Audyssey] interesting story off the paper

[Shaun Everiss]

Hi.
So this is an interesting story off the paper.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/games/90227446/Study-shoots-down-link-between-crime-and-violent-video-games?cid=edm:stuff:dailyheadlines=165111687
Its only 1 study but if others find this way, games may get left off the 
hook.
I am not saying children should play r18 games after all thats why we 
have a rating system, but if games are blamed less for life and just 
seen as games things may be a lot better.
There can be those that are irisponsible with guns and the same could be 
for games.

Games are not real just yet, I play games to stay away from the real world.
The moment games became a solution to real world issues I think I'd have 
to stop for a bit.
