Hello Thomas, So will that mean when the blindsoftware closes down, we can't
have cross platforms of the games? I own an iPhone, and actually love it a
lot, better than my Pac Mate, or should I say, crash mate, as ihave had some
crashes with it from time to time. I play games on my iPhone, and I even
have a blutooth braille display to pair with the iPhone to play the game.
The braille display is called the Focus 40 Blue, and I never even have
ishues with the braille display. I did try the Humanware brailliant and
didn't have good luck with the braille display as I don't know if it was the
display, or if it was just me, but I had poor bluetuth issues. The Focus 40
Blue worked fine with the iPhone

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] BlindSoftware.com Is Closing
Hi Dark,
You know, that is one of the reasons I'm reluctant to squeeze the $75
out of my bank account to get this pack of games and software. I would
be paying that money, money I don't really have to spend right now, on
games that will never be upgraded and supported after I pay for them.
That really wouldn't be a wise investment in the long term because
there is no way to insure that when Microsoft moves to their yearly
updates, which could begin as soon as next year, that these games will
remain compatible with Windows versions newer than Windows 8. Its
really a short term solution for a long term problem.
It would be better if Justin would license the source to a third-party
developer who could maintain the existing games, upgrade them if
necessary, and even have the ability to port them to other platforms
like Mac OS and iOS which are beginning to be new markets for audio
game developers. It just seems to me that Justin is going about this
all wrong, and sooner or later weather or not I pay the money I'm
going to end up with something I can't use over the long term.
Cheers!

I'm sad to hear this myself, i've had lots of fun playing troopanum, pipe,
hunter etc.
One thing I do wonder however is how people will get the games and unlock
codes in the future if blind software is closing down, since it'd be dire
if
future people coming to audiogmaes.net couldnt' play the games at all even
with installing vb6 libraries etc.
Beware the Grue!
