Hi, I got to play one of the games with my sighted brother the other night. Since I only have the keynote speech I didn't have a choice on what voice I used but if I slowed the voice right down my brother could understand most of it and what he couldn't I helped him with. We had allot of fun trying to work out the game together and had a few fights over the machine when we both wanted to try something at the same time.

I don't think any text adventure games let you play against another person, but it is fun to play them with other people. Believe me, the saying 'two brains are better than one' certainly can be true when you are trying to figure out what to do in an adventure game. I've even had fun playing them with two other people. You can bet the last can of pop in the fridge whether the move just suggested will be a really stupid one that will get you killed. <grin> Just save frequently. I am planning to play games on my BrailleNote with my husband. He has gotten used to computer speech, so he probably could play just fine if I switched to eloquence, since that is the speech I have used to make MP3s of books for us to listen to together. He is also going to install the visual display software for the BrailleNote on his palm, so that might work out even better. Unfortunately his palm only has infa-red not bluetooth, so we will see if listening to speech or trying to maintain a direct line-of-sight connection works better. Wonder if anyone will make a BrailleNote visual display program for symbian cell phones, since they are very common and do frequently have bluetooth. I know mine does. Some sighted people think they are beyond and above playing text adventures, but there are people out there that still enjoy them. I'm glad my husband is one of those people, since we have been playing text adventures together for a while now. It is great to have them in the far more convenient place and format of my BrailleNote. Playing them has been a bit of a hassle until now, so we didn't start one unless we planned to play for a very long time. Now we might annoy people in waiting rooms, And air planes. <grin> Sarah Van Oosterwijck Assistive Technology Trainer http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
