Just thought i'd post this. Bought an all-in-one touchscreen pc that came from a resturaunt that never opened. Loaded a bunch of games that work pretty well with just the mouse. Running gameex as the frontend. Also running reel deal slots ghost town externally. I am debating on whether or not to load a juke box program on there as people will probably want to listen to music and play games at the same time.

I'm interested in all those touchscreen games... where did you find them?

(Got a few 16" (17"?) Korteks waiting for a future :-)

So can you just load it up with windows and use it like a "normal" computer minus the keyboard?

Question:

What do you do when it asks you for a name in Yahtzee?

I found them at http://www.reflexive.com/ and http://www.gamehouse.com/ There is no list of touchscreen games, you just have to pick and choose the games you think will work.

I have a keyboard temporarily setup. It's kind of a pain and the only real drawback that this option has over megatouch machines. Going toi get a wireless one that i can tuck under the bar and just pull out when i need it or get one of those floppy silicone keyboards and just roll it up when i don't need it.

I'll try and post a list of the games i have that work well in a little bit..

I don't know if this helps, but Windows does have an On-Screen keyboard. Start, Programs, Accessories, Accessibility -

Can you maybe pull it up from the command prompt?

rberger3 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 13, 2008, 01:51:43 pm »

There are those small stainless steel keyboards that may just fit on your CP, if you have one

Do you have a link to them or picture?

A little Google does wonders :-)

Just Google for 'small stainless steel keyboard' in Google Images.
