Nothing more easy : TouchMousePointer :

on windows store you will also find gesture studio :

http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/touchme-gesture-studio/740d3578-ddb4-4f74-b489-5a3782cb7607

In this you will find everything that's missing on a basic windows 8.

Works great on the Steam version of 7th Guest, except for that the game is really small now instead of it scaling up.

Jayel: If you just got a brand new Windows 8 tablet and disheartened to find out that none of your favourite DOSBox games from GOG worked, like I was, then here's something that *might* help you:

And you can find the zip & instructions here:

Basically it lets you play mouse-controlled DOSBox games on a touch-only device without any external mouse plugged in.
I made it primarily for my own private use, so please don't expect fantastic support (the source code is also in the same dropbox folder if you'd like to solve any problems on your own). I only have one Windows 8 tablet device to test (Venue 8 Pro) so I have no idea if it works properly or not on other machines.

I hope somebody finds this useful. Happy gaming!

Thanks so much, dude. This is just what I was looking for. You're a national hero.

No words are good enough to thank for this. Simply amazing. You opened a whole new world of possibilities.

This deserved to be on a sticky and mentioned inside the store on all dosbox games.

Thank you!

Well, why bother? If you try to run DOS games on a touch-screen tablet, you're gonna have a very, very, very bad time anyway....

Use your keyboard and mouse, folks, when they are needed the most :-P

No, dosbox and old games on tablets are a good idea unless you suggest we take a mouse and keyboard on the train or bus.

It's not only tablets that have touch screens or absolute tracking either.Graphics tablets work great for RTS or RPGs.
