Hi Shaun, Yes, I meant Dosbox not Drop box. Definitely a typo on my part.
Anyway, to answer your question there are specific APIs designed for drawing or rendering video game graphics and text on screen such as Direct3D, OpenGL, etc which gives your game or application direct access to the video card. As a result since images and text are rendered directly onto the screen it is very difficult if not impossible to get access to that content. It totally bypasses all the standard ways of doing thins, and the only way it would remotely be possible to make it accessible is if the graphics library developers inserted some sort of screen reader hooks into their graphics libraries which they are likely never to do. Even if they did the screen readers would have to be updated to use said screen reader hooks. So until someone somewhere decides to put the time and effort into it for all intents and purposes it is not going to be accessible for a blind user. Cheers!
