Hi tom.
I've heard people mention eamon deluxe won't run correctly on vista, but
have run it on 32 bit windows 7 where there is a reasonable windows console
mode and I have no idea about windows 8. however sinse I've just got xp to
test I haven't managed to try either.
I suggest downloading the games and trying them out.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
When you say it won't run on post XP are you specifically talking
about 64-bit versions of Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 or both
32-bit and 64-bit versions?
The reason i ask is I have a number of older MS Dos games and play
them all the time on Windows 7. Games like Piledriver, Mission to
Mars, Run for President, etc run just fine on the 32-bit version of
Windows 7. In fact, I've gotten them to run on the 32-bit release of
Windows 8 as well. Its only my 64-bit machine where the games refuse
to run. So some clarification here please.

Hi Kieth.
I haven't updated the db entry because the new version of eamon deluxe is
in
testing, particularly it's new vi compatbility mode which fixes a lot of
the
problems with menues and such the old version has, as well has having
lots
of new eamon adventures and more converted classic ones. The bad news is
that in vi compatibility mode, it won't run on post xp windows unless you
use a virtual machine, (the none vi compatible version uses dosbox, but
that
unfortunately won't work with screen readers).
There have been a few preliminary releases of stand alone adventures,
that
you can find on the eamon deluxe page at
http://www.eamonag.org/pages/eamondx.htm
If however your also interested in getting a full private beta copy, you
can
contact the developer on eamondel...@gmail.com
A full version should be out later this year, and the developer is
looking
into solutions to the dosbox problem.
Hth.
all the best,
Dark.
