hi Desiree,
My DOS Shoot game uses the PC speaker for targeting, so even a virtual xp
computer might not have a working pc speaker.
I am planning to create a similar game for windows using the GMA game
engine.
I can't say when it will be finished.
Phil

Hi,
I was wary of responding to this topic until we heard from the
developers of the original games. Since we have, I'll ask my question.
The shooting range isn't part of the package of games you provided, at
least not that I've seen. Do you have it? that was my favorite PCS
title. I never bought the full version, since I was a kid when I
played it, but, unrealistic sounds or not, it provided me much
entertainment. I especially loved blowing up the propane tanks.

hmmm, looks like my options are windows xp with NVDA in a virtual
machine, linux with dosemu but no sound, or save my money, get a
doubletalk and USB to serial converter and a demo of asap screen reader.
in the meantime since I don't have the money to spend it looks like i'll
be going the linux and dosemu way for now.

Hi Josh,
All of the DOS games you described were developed by me and Carl when we
were known as Personal Computer Systems.
I don't mind you distributing the games as they never had registratio
keys to keep people from copying themn and giving them out to friends.
The instructions file did state that this copying would prevent us from
developing new games with no registration system.
However I amnot giving nay help in trying to get the games to work on
today's computers.
They were writen and designed specifilly for computers running Windows
98 with a hardware speech synthesizer such as DEC talk or Double Talk.
Several of the games used the PC speaker as a major part of the sound
creating part and would be difficult to play without that feature.
I think today's computers have done away with the PC speaker that was
supposed to just mak a beep when your computer was booting.
My plan was to convert some of thos games to Windows but the long Sarah
game development has delayed this.
My next Windows game will be a combination of Cops and Shoot.
I do not plan on doing a Windows version of Baseball or Football right
now as those games already have accessible windows versions from other
companies.

Subject: [Audyssey] old dos games here they are!
hi everyone!
I have them! I have fully registered copies of
any night football and its update
world series baseball and its update
fox-hunt
mobius mountain
monopoly for dos by pcs games
and more! download them at.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/frot4d
if anyone has shoot97 or cops for dos we don't have those on floppy
disks. my friend jason brought a bunch of floppy disks and games were
on them. now the question is, will these games work best in a windows
xp virtual machine? or will the dos games work best in a vinux virtual
machine with orca and dosemu or a vinux vm with speakup in a console?
and does speakup support laptop layout?
most of these games are text with no sound, if any sound it comes
through the pc speaker. like beeps and stuff.
thanks
Josh
