An audio Mario game was attempted but to be quite frank it was a flop since
the developer went about it entirely the wrong way. He had it set up so that
the enemies would make a sound five steps from you. So then you'd have to
move four more steps in order to get close enough to kill them so the
gameplay just didn't work. Then he made the mistake of using Midi music
files which don't lend themselves well to use in games since they don't loop
well. So when the Midi file for the current level ended there would be a
brief pause while it reloaded and the game would hang during that time,
usually just long enough for you to die. And if I'm not mistaken all the
other ideas you've suggested have been attempted in some form or another.

Subject: [Audyssey] for all developers,possible games to consider for the
future?
Hey, I've a few suggestions for those that are good at developing games,
which I'm not as I'm still working on learning the gaming code.
I am wondering if anyone has thought of trying some sort of versions of
the following in an audio format?
Mario Brothers game, the original since its probably the easiest
you could still jump over the bad creatures and instead of stomping on
them to kill them, shoot them, gain different weapons through different
levels and accumulate points to gain extra lives. Collect coins/gold for
points, jump lava pits, climb ladders, I don't know something like that
checkers
basic checkers on standard square board where each person tries to get to
the other side of the board to get kinged and then they try to take out
the opponents pieces to win
my yong/majong
I don't know how this is really spellt, but it's a tile game with numbers
and symbols in colors that have to be matched or something, not to sure of
the concept quite yet
The last two might be good projects for kitchensink or spoonbill software
games?
trivial pursuit
go around the board answering questions, but if you land on a pie wedge
question you have to guess that right to get your pie wedge color and game
continues until you fill your entire pie, can't remember 5 or 6 slices.
Questions are random, but divided into categories like science, health,
history and so on. Roll of dice determines how far your piece moves over
the board. Could use the monopoly dice concept along with triva questions
with multiple choice answers.
Otholo
similar to checkers in basic concept in a square board divided into
squares. Each player has 32 pieces one person white, one black. Haven't
played in a while, but I think object is to get all your pieces across to
other side of board and turned over.
backgammon
another board game with round pieces to move across, but can't remember
concept of this one, I think no dice though, so like checkers in that way.
oregon trail
remember the ole classroom game most of us probably played as kids, well
that's the one. This probably could be done with a mix of text, sounds and
action. Text for picking your equiptment and reading the panels of what
happens along the trail. Sound for the nature, indians, guns shooting,
horses and whatever else could make sound. Action by shooting the deer,
turkeys and fishing.
there was another one, but can't think of it right now.
Anyway, thought I'd just mention these in case anyone's interested.
