Dr. Sbaitso, released by Creative Labs in the early 1990s for DOS, was a quirky speech synthesis and artificial intelligence program bundled with Sound Blaster sound cards. Designed as a “digital psychologist,” it invited users to type messages and receive spoken responses in a distinctive robotic voice. Conversations often ranged from amusing to completely nonsensical, adding to its charm. Although primitive by modern AI standards, Dr. Sbaitso was an early experiment in human-computer interaction and voice technology. It became a memorable piece of retro software, fondly remembered for its humor, novelty, and role in introducing many users to interactive speech-based computing.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse.
