Hi Shaun,
Well, they weren't really fully accessible until Windows 7, but even
so saying the Microsoft games were never for us totally ignores the
good access work Microsoft did to make those games accessible in
Windows 7. Not sure where you get your attitude, but I find your
comments a bit rude
To be honest tom I have ignored the games for so long its never
ocured to me to even bother.

Hi Shaun,
Well, and that is precisely the problem. You come on this list acting
as though you are experienced, have a lot of knowledge, that you know
things you actually don't, and then someone has to correct you when
you are wrong. You frequently assume things you don't know for
certain, state

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

Not sure about Jaws since I haven't used Jaws myself in years. I do

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!

All of the card games like Hearts, Solitaire, Spider Solitaire,

also accessible. I haven't tried Chess and Mahjong but they are worth

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.

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

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

there any

Honestly I haven't tried. I know the card games that come with Windows

Hi Dark,
Actually, I can think of a number of games that comes with modern
Windows that Spoonbill do not have versions for such as Backgammon,
Checkers, Mahjong, and not sure if they have a version of Spades yet
either. Plus a lot of the Microsoft games for Windows aren't
exclusively stand alone
Hi Josh,
Are you certain of this? I'm a bit surprised why Microsoft's games
would be accessible in Windows 7 and then be totally inaccessible in
Windows 8. If so it sounds like someone should backup the Windows 7
games before upgrading to Windows 8 in order to maximize
accessibility.
Cheers!
Hi Tom.
that's true about online games, though it's worth noting there is online
accessible hearts and spaades in blind adrenaline cardroom, Online draughts
(checkers), in the Quentin C playroom, and and online backgammon in pontes
backgammon, still I take your point.
I suspect draughts and
