well it looks like unless I get something with hardware vertualisation which is rightt now unlikely that I won't be playing dos anything. Well I do have a older box hanging round I guess but to be honest I have no place for a ddicated unit right now. At 08:06 p.m. 22/10/2014, you wrote: Hi Sh

Hi Shaun, Yes, but in practice it doesn't quite work out that way. I have tried running some older Dos games and applications on a 32-bit version of Windows 7, and they didn't run correctly and were prone to crash. As a result the last version of Windows where I could run a lot of Dos stuff error

Yep, I use xp. It's good for playing text adventures, too. Basically, my xp virtual machine is for gaming and not much else. On 10/21/14, Josh Kennedy wrote: > what virtual machine do you play it in? windows xp? that seems to be the > only one that supports dos games playing them with NVDA. > > O

Hi Josh, I'd imagine so. XP was the last Windows OS to truly support a lot of older 8-bit and 16-bit Dos apps and games while being new enough to support a screen reader like NVDA. Logically that would be my choice for a virtual machine for most of those older PCS Games. Cheers! On 10/21/14, Jo

The shooting range is one of my all-time favorite audio games. I only wish I had bought the full version. But at the time I found it, I was 10 years old, and spending $30 for a game seemed unattainable. I don't know whether my parents would have bought it for me or not, but today I'm kicking myself

PCS Games history For those new to the field of games for the blind, here is a short history of our company. In September 1995, Carl Mickla started Personal Computer Systems with his game, Any Night Football. It was a DOS only game that used your DOS screen reader to describe game play and the
