Correct, curses is not provided on the Windows platform. I recall that there were some third party attempts to implement curses functionality on Windows; try Googling for it. Even though it's typically used for graphical games, PyGame would be a good way to make a cross-platform "text-mode" game. It should be pretty straightforward to simulate a text mode terminal using a grid of sprites. (There might even be some third-party text terminals out there.)
