[Electronics-talk] Video Games

[Jude DaShiell]

If you have a sound card in a dos machine not windows that is supported 
by the nhsound.zip package it can be installed in addition to nethack 
for sounds.  Nethack can use graphics but you don't want to play with 
graphics if you can't see the screen at all since then you'll need the 
ascii characters to tell you about your surroundings.  All of that is in 
how you set the game's configuration for use on your computer.

For Jolene, enable voiceover is under settings on the ipad but once done 
all of the jestures used change.
