Thanks for your offer. We are interested in this, but don't have the
cycles to do it till probably some time in April or May. We plan to
stop other activities at that point and redo our website to reflect our
current direction. That would be the best time to move the files to your
archive. When we get started on that project, we will contact you and
work with you to get the games moved.

Hi Eleanor,
I hadn't heard your games had become freeware. If you're looking for
hosting, we'd be happy to include them on the audiogames archive.
If this is something you'd be interested in, just shoot a quick email
to [email protected] , and we can figure out the details.
Best,
John

Milos,
The reason that 7-128 Software has made all its computer games
available for no cost is that it was costing us so much to keep our
direct sales going that we had no funds available for any new
development. We are currently working on mobile games that will sell
through the App stores and not cost us directly. We could have just
pulled our games from our website and not made them available to the
blind community, but opted to keep them available for those who could
not afford them previously but wanted to try them. I do understand
the concerns you expressed in your post, but making even the simplest
game costs money. In order to continue in business, one has to make
enough to cover your costs, even if you don't pay yourself a salary,
which we don't. That was just not happening so we had to find a way to
be able to keep making games or close up our company. We chose NOT to
close the company, but to try to find a way to continue to make
accessible games.

Hi all, sincerely I would not like this, and I will explain why,
risking being linched by the community.
I baught 3d vilocity and it went free after some time. I baught
Entombed and it is also apparently free. I also baught Misissipi and
I think anyone can play it legaly. Some time ago, people baught
Tarzan Junior, for, Inspector Cyndi series, and some other games. Now
is it fair that someone pays and someone else has it for free after
some time? For example, I was excited yesterday when I found out that
the Inspector Cyndi series was free. But on the other hand, I know
that somebody else paid for it and has the same as I do have now.
Does the money lose its value just because the time passes? Not sure.
Or is it worth waiting because, sooner or later, everything will go
free? Since Tom and Jim are no more, the Windows audiogame community
is slowly but surely getting Balcanized, as Barack Obama put it today
in an interview. Speaking of which, I must remember a time when
Charles was saying that I was promoting piracy on the Audissey list.
I didn't do that, but the developers themselves do just that by being
unfair to those who paid.
Best,
Miloš

So does this mean I get to create an account now to go in to the
shops?

Hi,,
Just received the below email from the entombed mailing list from
Jason alan who made entombed, I still think this is a great audio
game and thought I’d share the email/news from Jason with everyone:
Hi everyone!
Sorry for being absent for so long. I'm essentially a slave to my
job, hah. I've had a lot of success over the past few years
making casual games for mobile players (unfortunately, these
haven't been accessible) but I haven't had a break out hit where
I could dedicate some time for other games. I'm currently in the
United States away from my development environment in Australia
so it's possible I messed this up, but you should be able to log
in to your account and have full access if you didn't have it
before. If you create a new account, that should be automatically
upgraded. I also reset all the scores, so hopefully that is
working again too.
The server I've been running this on is extremely expensive
compared to the ones I use today for my games so I'll eventually
migrate it over. Maybe with a new release if I can manage it.
Every time I get some spare holiday time, I try to dedicate some
time to accessible game development and I have made some cool
stuff - sadly, none of it release-worthy yet.
For anyone who has had issues purchasing or delay in
communication, I apologize. Due to the legacy nature of the game,
I try to queue up a lot of fixes at the same time.
Cheers!
Jason
