Hi Can't say about all of the rogue types. I've had luck with ADOM though. so these games still seem to have life in the xp os.

I know, it could be done in DOS, but haven't found any that I can play in Windows.

Dark, I agree with your assessment about interactive fiction. Unfortunately, there's little replay value in most of it, though to be fair I am not quite sure what could be done to add any, short of some randomness, which always creates problems when a programmer of IF tries it I've found. An alternative to interactive fiction are the roguelike games I play a lot. There is even a Zcode version of Rogue, the original and simplest game of this genre. These games sacrifice plot and such for totally randomized areas, challenges, etc. If you can play them at all, they're worth the trouble. I am actually surprised not more blind people get into these, but then again I guess that accessing them isn't so easy as it used to be. Strategy games, like SoundRTS, especially with multiple players, have replay value as well. I've been waiting forever for an audio version of Civilization or the like. I wish wholeheartedly that a developer might try this concept someday. Anyway, I hope this might be some food for thought. If you're interested in roguelikes, there's a good article in early Audyssey somewhere, around Issue 3 or 4. Thanks, Michael, for that one. All the best, Zack. _________________________________________________________________ Boo! Scare away worms, viruses and so much more!
