Hi Dark,
Sure. I like the Spoonbill games as well. Although, my basic point was
they are not exactly a one to one replacement for the Microsoft games.
However, for someone not running Windows 7 they are a decent enough
alternative and are free.
While I do know the BA Card Room exists the problem
Hi Dacia,
Not sure about Jaws since I haven't used Jaws myself in years. I do
know the games work with Window-Eyes and am only guessing they work
with Jaws as well.
Cheers!

Hi Charles,
Yes, thanks for pointing that out. The question was the accessibility
of the Microsoft games for Windows 8 and 8.1 not if there were
alternatives out there. :D
Cheers!

Besides Hearts and Mine Sweeper which I'm trying to figure out how to

Hi Dacia,
All of the card games like Hearts, Solitaire, Spider Solitaire,
Spades, and FreeCell are all accessible. Checkers and Backgammon are
also accessible. I haven't tried Chess and Mahjong but they are worth
checking out since all of the other Microsoft games were reasonably
accessible with
It's ok; I'm not worried. I trust Somethin' Else to fix the bugs. I'l'l give it

Oh, that is a good point. I'll try turning hints on. Couldn't hurt, at any rate.

I just tried using hints and the problem is that I can't get to the buttons. As
Dark says, they're below the text, and I can't even use the pass-through
gesture to get to them. At some point I might try with Voiceover off, but
again, I'm not worried and am just as happy to wait for a solution
Hi Teresa.
Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression. I just meant that with the hints
you can tell buttons from normal bits of text, and also several games use
the hints directly for information on controls, for example king of dragon
pass uses them to let you know the stats of your clan

Hi Charles,
That's because the version of the games that come with XP are not and
never were accessible. In order to get the accessible Microsoft games
you need Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Cheers!

All of them should be accessible, presuming that you know how to play the
game beforehand. The games don't come with tutorials other than the windows
help, so I would recommend having a working knowledge of them before you
start trying to play them. That said, its perfectly possible to play the
Xp and earlier games are not accessible, because the games are built around
purely images. Windows 7 is all buttons.

Hi John,
For the most part that is true. Although, I do recall a number of
years ago someone releasing set files for Window-Eyes that were
compatible with FreeCell, Solitaire, and a couple of the other games
for XP. So it is possible to access the XP version of those games, but

Hi Dark,
Glad you find something redeeming about Windows 7. Especially, since
you tend to have a very big chip on your shoulder where modern Windows
is concerned. However, let's not go there again. We have had this
argument more times than I can count and I personally choose not to go
