[blind-gamers] regarding monopoly planet

2019-05-06 Thread Luke Hewitt
As per the recent message about monopoly planet and audiogames.net saying "they" have't updated the game on the database. Firstly, there isn't a "they" where audiogames.net is concerned, there is myself and the other staff who  are continually trying our best to maintain the database.

Remember, audiogames.net doesn't host any files, we just point to developer's own websites and files. if the developer's own site goes down and we can't contact them, there is nothing we can do, and this is just what has happened to monopoly planet, which is bloody annoying since it only just

Hi. it depends upon what your using screen reader wise. If you have NVdA and the interactive fiction addon, that should work with html tads. IF your using Jaws you could try filfre. There also used to be an interpreter called wintads, but I don't think its maintained  uptodate anymore.

Hi. What I usually do is just tap down arrow once, so that I'm going along just underwater below where the waves are. This means I can quickly duck up if I need air. with the robot, if the robot's sound is lower in pitch, I know its below where I am and I can just swim over it. If its

Virtual reality sounds all very well, but the problem with having a disability is that the closer to reality things get, the more the limitations that having a disability places on everyday life will necessarily intrude into the virtual reality. this is why I love table top gaming with dice

I don't remember that quest specifically, but often checking your journal can tell you where to go or at least where to look, its actually a bit disconcerting since often not all the info you need is contained in the updates. Sorry I can't be of more help, its been quite a while since I

Okay. Firstly to clear something up, yes, the games are  now legally available since Bsc's creator decided as much. see https://www.agarchive.net/pages/devs/bsc.html where you can also download them. That being said, I have had no luck at all running any of the games accept hunter,

Hi. Interesting question. I can't actually think of that many audio games with werwolves in. A couple had them as enemies, the old simple adventure chillingham, and I believed they showed up in Entombed, but actually less than you'd think. there are various browser games, muds and the like

Nope, Just unzip and install. one thing Jim did which was amazing, was include all the dependencies with his games, which means they're really easy to run, indeed installing them is a great way to get a lot of the libraries and other components needed to run a lot of older games. All the

First, no idea on Sapi, but if you hit f3 you should switch to screen reader mode, I believe people have used the game with Jaws but I can't say much about that myself since I've only ever played with Sapi or NVda. As to the beeps well I explain this in my guide, but the short version is
