Listers, I apologize if you saw any strange encoding issues in my message. Something strange seems to have happened to it on its way from my Apex. Below is the message again, with proper formatting. Ruchi and all, > > Another resource to download interactive fiction games, with a > little more guidance, is called Baf's Guide to the Interactive > Fiction Archive. The address is as > follows: http://www.wurb.com/if/ > > There are also two titles included with every BrailleNote, Winter > Wonderland and Dragon Adventure, that are designed especially for > children. Games are simply files, so you can easily transfer > titles to the BrailleNote by copying the appropriate files to the > 'My Games' folder of the Flash Disk through any normal means. > The BrailleNote will only play text adventure games written in > z-code, and the game files will have a .z5 or .z8 extension. I'm > not sure really how engaging young children would find these > games as they are completely text based and involve a lot of > reading, but it never hurts to give it a go. To play a game, > simply open the 'Games' application from the main menu, and press > SPACE to browse through the files in the 'My Games' folder. The > games I mentioned will be called winter.z5 and dragon.z5. > > Apart from the text adventures, there aren't huge numbers of > games that can be played on BrailleNotes. Another gentleman on > this list, Alex Hall, has written a few accessible games that can > be played in the BrailleNote's web browser. I am sure he will > jump in and tell you where you might be able to get those games. > > Finally, there's a hidden Tetris game included on BrailleNotes. > Bizarrely, it's under Utilities, Key Management. To play it, > select "Enter a new product key" and type the word playtime > followed by ENTER. The game then comes up and there's a help > menu to walk you through the user interface, but I'm not familiar > enough with Tetris to tell you how to play it. > > Cheers, > > Grant >
