Hi Lisa,

Yes, the GMA games will work with Windows 7. Although, I would
recommend installing Jim Kitchen's Winkit installer to get the DirectX
8 and VB 6 libraries you need as they do not come with Windows 7. Also
the games work better if you disable User Account Control.

Re: [Audyssey] wayfar1444 new command nearby

[darren harris]

i think the biggest atraction for me when it comes to this game is the whole 
idea of starting out with absolutely nothing and building everything up. the 
biggest critisism i have of the game is that more helpfiles are required. 

having said this, it's 1 of the best muds out there. far better and more 
flexible than the likes of star conquest.

Wow Travis you got further than me.

I probably ought to log in again, and either tear down my colony or restart 
on another planet and give things a go from the beginning sinse I don't 
recall where all my stuff was, but at least if I played my same character I 
could get the bennifit of my extra remorts.

All the best,

Re: [Audyssey] iPhone game controllers for games like Zombie Arena, BlindSide, and A Blind Legend.

[Dakotah Rickard]

The controllers that I'm aware of connect via bluetooth.
They are generally a little limited in scope. There aren't that many
games, that I'm aware of, that actually use them. it's the trouble
with these controllers. I don't know how they're implemented, if
there's a common library for their use, if they give the same data to
the device, anything.
Also, Shawn, iOS is a little picky about what it lets connect via
bluetooth. In theory, you could use a wii controller, though I think
that the app would have to handle the connection, as the phone would,
I think, not allow it.

Re: [Audyssey] wayfar1444 new command nearby

[dark]

Hi Darren.

I agree, I loved the hole wilderness aspect, even down to uilding fires and 
purifying water. However that was why I slightly lost interest when I'd 
built more stuff, indeed I moved on to Clok precisely because though it's 
got a very different theme, the idea of wilderness exploring and crafting 
and surviving with what you find is the major part of clok, but it doesn't 
stop so much as go on.


All the best,

Dark.
