It's not MS-DOS, of course. It's the Windows 8 Command processor.
However, http://www.robvanderwoude.com/allhelpw8pro_en.php makes me think it still should work. But I can't check, because I have no Windows 8, so I can't see what the built-in help (choice /? in a command prompt window) says.

I was browsing around and attempting to build a program with MS-DOS. I can't get the choice command to work in Windows 8, and I have browsed the internet searching for the problem and a solution. It seems that Microsoft has removed Choice from Windows 8 supported commands. Is there any way possible I can make this work? I also own a Windows XP desktop and I can make the codes on it, but I can't get them to run on Windows 8?
